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”.
