The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power goes back more than thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit.
The official synopsis of the series on Amazon Prime Video reads:
''Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.''
Filming for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power began in February 2020 and went on till August 2021, with frequent breaks in between due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the show is not a continuation of the film series, the overall tone and visual aesthetics are strikingly similar to the franchise, and fans can expect an equally rewarding experience.
The series stars Robert Aramayo as Elrond and Owain Arthur as Durin IV in pivotal roles, among others. It also stars a stunning supporting cast, including:
- Maxim Baldry as Isildur
- Morfydd Clark as Galadriel
- Nazanin Boniadi as Bronwyn
