Whatever the series has in store for us, the trailers and images are stunning, from the costume creation to the New Zealand landscape. It should be incredible with a single season price tag of around $465 million. Plus, we’re getting to see Khazad-dûm, before the destruction, which is something I’m beyond excited about. Here is the synopsis for the new series:
Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
