Lord of the Rings: Amazon Series– Premiere Date, First Image
The highly-anticipated epic fantasy series will debut on the streamer on September 2, 2022, with new episodes dropping weekly after that.
Filming was completed on the first season of the show on August 2 in New Zealand.
Amazon has also released the first official image from the series, which can be seen above.
Not much is known about the plot of the series to date, including its official title, but it is known that it will take place during the so-called Second Age, thousands of years prior to the events of both “The Lord of the Rings” books and “The Hobbit.”
The series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
“The journey begins September 2, 2022 with the premiere of our original ‘The Lord of the Rings’ series on Prime Video,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.
“I can’t express enough just how excited we all are to take our global audience on a new and epic journey through Middle-earth! Our talented producers, cast, creative, and production teams have worked tirelessly in New Zealand to bring this untold and awe-inspiring vision to life.”
