Jennifer Salke, The Head of Studios, said, “I can’t express enough just how excited we all are to take our global audience on a new and epic journey through Middle-earth.” Until now, the filming of the series has been done in New Zealand with some of the cast and crew. The development of the series began in 2017 after Amazon bought rights to stream The Lord of the Rings trilogy. After that, Amazon has committed to five-season TV series with a budget of $465 million that can be worth $1 billion. With this, Amazon is making history as one of the most expensive TV series ever.
Season 1 started in February 2020 but has been put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, as works are slowly resuming, they rush the completion of the shoot and start with post-production works for season 1.
