Filming has already begun

Filming for the series was supposed to begin in February. But the Corona pandemic has thwarted these plans, as is the case with many products. In July, the government in New Zealand relaxed Corona measures, and filming has been in full swing since then.

The Lord of the Rings series, adapted from the legendary JRR Tolkien fantasy novels (1892-1973), does not yet have an official name. It is unclear which major story will be the focus of the Second Age of Middle Earth, which will span several thousand years. The series begins before Tolkien’s “Companions”.
