About ‘Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power’
Set thousands of years before Peter Jackson’s “Lord of The Rings” film trilogy, the series features a new story based on Tolkien’s writings of the Second Age of Middle-Earth. When the Dark Lord Morgoth is overthrown, the Elves of Middle-Earth believe that evil has finally been vanquished forever. But Galadriel isn’t so sure. Not yet the ruler of her own realm, Galadriel cannot escape the idea that Morgoth’s chief lieutenant Sauron was not defeated, and is still on the loose.
She will stop at nothing to hunt down and destroy the last vestiges of darkness, but she faces resistance at every turn. From the kings of Men on the island of Numenor to the Dwarf-lords of Moria, peace and prosperity are reigning across Middle-Earth. Will the Free People be able to come together to stop evil, or will Sauron deceive them all and further the work of his defeated dark master?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
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.
“The Rings of Power” is one of the most ambitious television projects ever attempted. Amazon reportedly spent $250 million just to secure the rights to make a “Lord of The Rings” TV show, and nearly another $500 million to produce the first season. The e-commerce giant plans to spend even more on successive seasons, ensuring that “The Rings of Power” will be one of the most expensive media projects ever attempted by the time of its completion.
The show is planned for five seasons, and as long as it has the enthusiasm of big-time Tolkien fan Jeff Bezos, fans won’t have to worry about any unplanned cancelations.
