This fantasy drama, action, and adventure series is based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Lord of the Rings and its appendices.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power also shows the downfall of the Númenor island kingdom and the last association between Elves and Men. The epic and visually spectacular The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been developed by John D. Payne and Patrick McKay and is expected to have 50 hours of total runtime across five seasons with the soon-to-release first season comprising 8 episodes.
