It seems that Amazon may be making a Lord of the Rings series. In October, the website GeekWire reported that the streaming service had closed a deal with the Tolkien estate for the rights to produce a new series.
The series is still in the early stages of development, but if it goes forward, it would be the first time that the story of Middle-earth would be told on television.
While it’s still early in the process, there are a few things we know about the series. Amazon is looking for a writer to work on the series and is considering a range of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, and horror.
Additionally, the deal does not include the rights to make movies based on the books, so it’s possible that a television series could be the only way to get a Lord of the Rings movie made.
While there’s no confirmation that a Lord of the Rings series is actually in the works, it’s definitely an interesting development and one that fans of the books will definitely want to keep an eye on.
