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 N\u00famenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.<\/p>\n<p>As previously announced, the series is led by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne &amp; Patrick McKay; they are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, J.A. Bayona, Bel\u00e9n Atienza, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, Bruce Richmond, and Sharon Tal Yguado, co-executive producer Wayne Che Yip, and producer Christopher Newman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon Studios announced today that Charles Edwards, Will Fletcher, Amelie Child-Villiers, and Beau Cassidy will round out the ensemble cast of its forthcoming Amazon Original series based on The Lord of the Rings, currently shooting in New Zealand.
