And now, in 2022, a new Lord of the Rings installment will be hitting streaming giant Amazon's Prime Video. Titled The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Amazon's project will be a TV series from creators Patrick McKay and John D. Payne.
"The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earth's Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men,” the creators said in a statement, per GQ.
