By Renee Hansen
Fans of The Lord of the Rings will be happy to know that filming for Season 1 of the Amazon Original Series has officially wrapped. Amazon was able to negotiate with the government of New Zealand to ensure that filming for the series could take place in New Zealand, where the movies were filmed.
Deadline has reported that the yet-to-be-named series has set a release date for September…2022
The series is based on the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his novels and is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Tolkien Estate and Amazon have partnered to create this series and have made agreements about what Amazon can and cannot change from Tolkein’s works.
The cast and characters feature many names that will be recognized but also includes many new names. 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.
