Amazon revealed the title of its series based on “The Lord of the Rings”

Amazon Studios announced on Wednesday the title of its long-awaited series about the world of “The Lord of the Rings”, produced by the Spanish J.A Bayona, which has titled “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” (The Lord of the Rings: the rings of power). The plot of the new program will be set in the Second Age, “thousands of years before” the events narrated in “The Hobbit” and in the trilogy of J.R.R. Tolkien adapted for the big screen, and will narrate how the rings were forged and distributed among the different races. This is the title we imagine could live on the back of a book alongside other J.R.R. Tolkien classics,” show executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said in a press release. So far, audiences have only seen the story of ‘the ring’ on screen, but before there was one, there were many more. and we’re excited to share the epic story of all of them,” they added. The series will arrive simultaneously and in several languages to 240 countries on September 2 through the Prime Video platform, where new episodes will be available every Friday. The series, whose first season has been filmed in New Zealand, begins in a time of relative peace and stars both new and well-known characters, who face the resurgence of evil in Middle-earth.As announced by Amazon Studios last August, the filming of the second season will take place in the United Kingdom in the spring of 2022.
