the Rings” and “The Hobbit” fantasy-adventure
novels. It will follow new and familiar characters
confronting the “long-feared re-emergence of
evil to Middle-earth,” ground that has yet to be
covered on screen, Amazon said previously.
Taping in New Zealand for the multi-season
series concluded last August. The country also
was the home for filming of director Peter
Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” and prequel “The
Hobbit” film trilogies.
The streaming series will debut in more than 200
countries and territories with a large ensemble
cast that includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson,
Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Sophia
Nomvete and Lloyd Owen.
