Beings how I've started multiple ongoing threads on CF for many of my nerdom passions (MCU, DCEU, Star Wars, Star Trek... etc), which have turned out to be quite fun discussion groups, I figured it was about time to start a new thread related to a separate favorite world of mine, Lord of the Rings. While the both the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movie trilogies are a thing of the past, we now have an upcoming high-budget TV series being produced right now by Amazon on the way, which takes place many years prior to both movie trilogies. It will also be the first seemingly to do some delving outside of Tolkiens original writings as well. Anyway, I hope this will be the place for anything Lord of the Rings related moving forward, so please join in with me if you also share the passion. To kick things off, theonering.net just dropped a show synopsis for the upcoming series to get us excited. Feel free to comment.
Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, 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. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital 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.
