Rumor has it that the Lord of the Rings TV series will start filming next year with a total investment of over $1 billion

According to blogger @电影控控, the TV series version of "The Lord of the Rings" will start filming next year (2020), with a total of five seasons and a total investment of 1 billion US dollars, which exceeds the investment of the movie trilogy.

It is worth mentioning that Brian Cogman, the screenwriter of "Game of Thrones", has also joined the "Lord of the Rings" team.

“The TV series will tell the story of the Second Age, and Aragorn is from the Third Age, so he will basically not be there.

The major events of the Second Age include: the forging of the Ring of Power, the War between the Elves and Sauron, the origin of the Ringwraiths, the sinking of Númenor, the founding of Gondor, the War of the Last Alliance, until Sauron was overthrown and the Second Age ended.

The main characters that may appear in the Second Age include: Elrond, Queen Galadriel, Elendil, Gil-galad and Sauron.
