This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, 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&#8217;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 reemergence 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 farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.<\/p>\n<p>The series&#8217; first season 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, and producers Ron Ames and Christopher Newman. Wayne Che Yip is co-executive producer and directs along with Bayona and Charlotte Br\u00e4ndstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Video&#8217;s record-breaking global hit series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has announced that &#8220;The Making of The Rings of Power&#8221;
