As announced on TORn Tuesdays tonight (watch here), and posted on the Home Page here, TORn happened upon the official synopsis of the new Amazon series and were granted an exclusive to release it tonight!
Together with the maps (also in the Home Page story), the synopsis helps us hone in on places we suspected might be in the series, as well as characters (Annatar/Sauron). Read it below, and hopefully look for more frequent releases (and/or leaks) in the future!
Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
