The series will take place in the events before the ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’. Other than that virtually no information has been released about the project, besides the recruitment of J.A Bayona. Bayona recently directed ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ and has been tapped to executive produce, and direct two episodes.

J.R.R. Tolkien created one of the most extraordinary and inspiring stories of all time. I can’t wait to take audiences around the world to Middle-earth and have them discover the wonders of the Second Age, with a never before seen story.https://t.co/imSFOSh5MJ
