    Amazon to Adapt J.R.R. Tolkien’s Globally Renowned Fantasy Novels, The Lord of the Rings, for Television with a Multi Season Production Commitment

    Television adaptation, exploring new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, slated to debut exclusively on Prime Video

    SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2017-- (NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced it has acquired the global television rights to The Lord of the Rings, based on the celebrated fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, with a multi-season commitment. The upcoming Amazon Prime Original will be produced by Amazon Studios in cooperation with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line Cinema, a division of Warner Bros. Entertainment.

    “The Lord of the Rings is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, Head of Scripted Series, Amazon Studios. “We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking The Lord of the Rings fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth.”

    “We are delighted that Amazon, with its longstanding commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multi-season television series for The Lord of the Rings,” said Matt Galsor, a representative for the Tolkien Estate and Trust and HarperCollins. “Sharon and the team at Amazon Studios have exceptional ideas to bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings.”

    Set in Middle Earth, the television adaptation will explore new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. The deal includes a potential additional spin-off series.

    There's certainly plenty of material to explore.

        They can go on weekly adventures, maybe pick up some treasure along the way, meet Joxer the Mighty and Xena...

            On a positive note, at least they're working with the Tolkien Estate. One can only hope they'll rein in the most egregious lapses.

              well they are going prequel to the writings so they can make up all sorts of stuff.

              Hey at least they already have a set made for Hobbiton if they can get permission to use the set from the movies. Then we can all go to New Zealand and stay with Starlight and Raphael and visit the show.

                This is how I felt when I first saw the DuckTales reboot announced, and I have to say those feelings were unfounded. I really like the new show, it's a shame it's on a break from episodes for a bit. At least I can watch volume 1 of the original, and some Atomic Puppet in the meantime.

                  Maybe it will be Silmarillion stuff. I record and upload a happy dance to Tweb if it were Silmarillion stuff. Feanor is the anti-hero our culture needs right now.

                          As long as it doesn't become Game of Middle-Earth™ it's already half a win in my book.

                              I'm sure it will be Silmarillion stuff; the question is, will it be First, Second, or Third Age?
