-Set within Tolkien’s Second Age, will juggle 22 stars and multiple storylines—from deep within the dwarf mines to the elven kingdom of Lindon. Here, the adventures of the fellowship are still some 2,000 years in the future.
-Based not on a novel but the Middle-earth prehistory attached to the end of LOTR—will be the costliest TV show ever.
-Despite being set thousands of years before the stories we know, familiar immortals do turn up as their younger selves: Morfydd Clarke as the elven queen Galadriel, now a hardscrabble warrior leading the Northern Armies.
-Robert Aramayo plays Elrond, the elven statesman who is just beginning to build his reputation—starting with mending the relationship between his people and the dwarves of Khazad-dûm.
-This series condenses Tolkien’s Middle-earth timeline and adds entirely new characters. Black characters such as Sophia Nomvete’s dwarven princess, Disa, and Ismael Cruz Córdova’s Silvan elf, Arondir, broaden the notion of who lives in Middle-earth.
I'm actually excited for this again now. The background, scenery, and props are gorgeous as well as the lighting. I actually feel this will be better than The Wheel of Time.
