THE LORD OF THE RINGS: Prime Video Releases New Teaser Trailer

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER is coming to Prime Video in September, and the streamer just revealed a new teaser trailer for the expansive television series.

The show, which is set before J.R.R. Tolkien’s book series, “will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: Amazon Taps JD Payne and Patrick McKay to Develop Original Series

Amazon has tapped writers JD Payne and Patrick McKay to develop the upcoming THE LORD OF THE RINGS television series.

“The rich world that J.R.R. Tolkien created is filled with majesty and heart, wisdom and complexity,” Payne and McKay said in a statement. “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Amazon to bring it to life anew. We feel like Frodo, setting out from the Shire, with a great responsibility in our care — it is the beginning of the adventure of a lifetime.”

Though the series has yet to be written (or cast), Amazon’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS has received a multi-season order. Per Amazon, the show “will explore new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring.”

Payne and McKay most recently penned STAR TREK 4 for J.J. Abrams.
