It is set, however, in the heart of the Second Age of Middle-earth, a time when the famous Rings of Power were forged, before the events of The Lord of the Rings books and movies. The plot will take place in several locations, including the Elven kingdoms of Lindon and Eregion, Khazad-dûm the Kingdom of the Dwarves, the Southern Lands, the Northernmost Wasteland, the seas of Sundering, and the legendary isle of Númenor.

It was in August 2021 that Amazon Prime Video revealed the release date of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. The producer has made a head start since the first episode of the series will be broadcast on September 2, 2022 exclusively for subscribers to the streaming platform.
However, Lord of the Rings fans hope to find actors from the various films there, in particular Ian McKellen who played Gandalf. In December 2017, the comedian said in a British radio interview that he was not opposed to the idea of putting the clothes of the Gray Pilgrim back on, but that he had not (yet) been approached. No information on a return of this character adored by fans has yet been communicated by Amazon. As an immortal magician, Gandalf could very well appear in the series. However, it would be likely that another actor than McKellen would be chosen to play him.
Amazon announced on September 18, 2019 that its event series adapted from The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand. The sets of this country of the southwest of the Pacific had already been used for the films of peter jackson and fueled the imagination of fans of JRR Tolkien’s trilogy for many years. The filming of the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was completed in early August 2021.
Thanks to a video posted on social networks, Amazon Prime Video has lifted the veil on the creative team working on the making of the series adapting the universe of the Lord of the Rings. Director Juan Antonio Bayona (Jurassic World 2) canned the first two episodes. He also chose to work with the same executive producer as for his previous films, Belén Atienza. Bruce Richmond, producer of Game of Thrones, Westworld and The Leftovers will also be executive producer of the series, as will Gene Kelly, (Boardwalk Empire, Westworld ) as well as Lyndsey Weber(Star Trek Without Limits, 10 Cloverfield Lane).
Responsible for adapting the original material signed JRR Tolkien : JD Payne and Patrick McKay will be surrounded by a team of experienced screenwriters. Among them are authors who have worked on Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, 13 Reasons Why, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos or Stranger Things. Within the creative teams who will have the difficult task of setting up the universe of the Lord of the Rings, we find costume designer Kate Hawley (Suicide Squad, Crimson Peak), Oscar-winning interior designer Rick Heinrichs (Sleepy Hollow, Star Wars 8), Oscar-winning special effects supervisor Jason Smith (Avengers 1, Super 8, The Revenant). Finally, note the presence in the credits of John Howe who notably illustrated numerous editions of The Lord of the Rings books and worked as a concept artist on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Season 1 of the series adapting the Lord of the Rings universe has not yet been released and a second season has already been ordered. This was announced by Amazon Studios director Jennifer Salke on November 18, 2019. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will therefore continue beyond its first season. The series adapting the Lord of the Rings universe could also contain 5 seasons if we are to believe the first announcements concerning its budget.
