Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series: glorious new legends in the making, or just milking the Money Moo Cow?
Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series is on the way: will Jeff Bezos bring us a series of glorious new legends in the making, or is the ‘Zon just milking the Money Moo Cow?
This new series will premiere Friday, September 2nd, 2022 on Prime Video in 240 countries, with new episodes available weekly.
Beginning in a time of relative peace, thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings 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.
Cast members include 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.
