The Rings of nguồn is due lớn hit Amazon Prime Video in September 2022, with the first season running for eight episodes in total.

It"s worth noting, Amazon"s series won"t be rehashing or going over the story paths already trod in the two movie trilogies so far. Instead, these will be based on some of the longer, deeper và more historical world missed out by the two movies. Think of these as being set thousands of years before The Hobbit when evil re-emerges in Middle-earth.

Best viewing order for Hobbit & Lord of the Rings
