Excitement for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is approaching fever pitch among fantasy fans, with the series set to debut on the streaming service next month.
And with a budget of over $1bn for its first season alone, you’d want to hope that people are excited to see this latest adaptation of Tolkien’s world. Set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, thousands of years before Frodo Baggins and his band of merry hobbit folk would come along, the series is set to tell the story of how the rings of power were forged.
Given the fact that some of Tolkien’s characters live to be thousands of years old, there are likely to be a few familiar faces cropping up in season one. One important figure from the much-loved film trilogy will not be involved though.
