The filming of Amazon<\/a> Original’s untitled The Lord of the Rings<\/em><\/strong> TV series has now been completed in New Zealand and with it comes a first look at the show (above)!<\/p>\n

“The journey begins September 2, 2022 with the premiere of our original The Lord of the Rings<\/em><\/strong> series on Prime Video,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon<\/a> Studios. “I can’t express enough just how excited we all are to take our global audience on a new and epic journey through Middle-earth!<\/p>\n

“Our talented producers, cast, creative, and production teams have worked tirelessly in New Zealand to bring this untold and awe-inspiring vision to life.”<\/p>\n

The new epic drama brings to screens for the very first time J.R.R. Tolkien’s fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. Beginning in a time of relative peace, thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit<\/em> <\/strong>and The Lord of the Rings <\/em><\/strong>books, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.<\/p>\n

Headlining this ensemble cast<\/a> are 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.<\/p>\n

The series is led by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay: “As Bilbo says: ‘Now I think I am quite ready to go on another journey.’ Living and breathing Middle-earth these many months has been the adventure of a lifetime. We cannot wait for fans to have the chance to do so as well,” said Payne and McKay.<\/p>\n

The series will launch on Friday, 2 September, 2022 on Prime Video<\/a>, with new episodes available weekly. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
