“The journey begins on September 2, 2022 with the premiere of our original Lord of the Rings series on Prime Video,” Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, said in a statement.
Amazon is spending about $ 465 million on filming the show’s first season, according to New Zealand government officials. He hopes to make five seasons of the series, which makes it one of the most expensive in history.
In a press release it was reported that the first season will be available in more than 240 countries, with new episodes released weekly.
The epic fantasy plot will take place thousands of years before the events narrated by the writer JRR Tolkien in his books “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”
