‘Lord Of The Rings’ TV Series Confirmed For Five Seasons

Amazon has confirmed that they will produce five seasons of the upcoming “Lord of the Rings” TV series. The series is currently being worked on.

A Lord of the Rings fansite, TheOneRing.net said:

“From the first press release, we know this so-called #LOTR series will NOT be a retelling of the events of the War of the Ring. #BeenThereDoneThat.
Instead it will be Appendices based and cover a lot of time and history.
This is the greatest advantage the show runners have: that so much of Tolkien’s storytelling, even just in “Appendix A,” covers a tremendous swath of time.
Starting with a young Aragorn narrative allows connections to his Numenorean bloodline (and to the founding of #Gondor). 
We could, in flashbacks, learn essentials about the men of #Arnor, sister kingdom in the north to #Gondor, and how the surviving #Dunedain became a community of Rangers, seeking to protect the north from incursions of the Witch-king of Angmar.”

Stay tuned for more information about the series and its content.
