Until now.

“After undertaking an extensive global search, we are delighted finally to reveal the first group of brilliant performers who will take part in Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series,” said showrunners and executive producers, J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.
“These exceptionally talented women and men are more than just out actors: they are the newest members of an ever-expanding creative family that is now working tirelessly to bring Middle-earth to life anew for fans and audiences worldwide,” they added.

Set many years before the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, the series will be based on stories from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels and its first season will play out across eight episodes.
The length of these episodes however, have not been disclosed but reports suggest that they’ll be around an hour in length each.
Previous reports have stated that Joseph Mawle – who played Benjen Stark in Game of Thrones, will take on the role of a villain named Oren, while Morfydd Clark (Dracula) will play a young Galadriel.

The series was announced back in 2017, so it’s big news that the cast has finally been announced. The series is expected to debut in 2021.
We’re expecting to see production stills and behind-the-scenes looks into the series by the end of 2020! Maybe a trailer would drop by the year’s end too! We’re crossing our fingers and toes!
