At last, we have a teaser, release date and title for Amazon Prime’s Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power.
The series will take place during the Second Age of Middle-earth’s history which J.R.R. Tolkien only really explored in appendices of his novels; it will take place thousands of years before Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies and, conceivably, should act as prequels to those movies. Maybe.
The series will follow the major stories of Middle-earth’s Second Age: The forging of the Rings. The rise of the Dark Lord Sauron. The epic tale of Númenor and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power cast includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.
In addition to Payne and McKay, the show’s executive producers include Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, J.A. Bayona, Belén Atienza, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, Bruce Richmond, and Sharon Tal Yguado, and producer Christopher Newman. Wayne Che Yip serves as co-executive producer and also directs episodes along with J.A. Bayona and Charlotte Brändström.
Season one will arrive on Amazon Prime on September 2nd, 2022.
