‘The Rings of Power‘ is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit‘ and ‘The Lord of the Rings‘.

It has an ensemble cast of characters, new and familiar, as they take on the long-feared re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth.

The direction of the highly anticipated web show is helmed by Peter Jackson who directed the ‘The Lord of the Rings‘ and ‘The Hobbit‘ film trilogies.

Amazon spent about $465 million filming the first season, according to government officials in New Zealand, where the series was filmed.

The company plans to make five seasons of the show, making it one of the most expensive TV series ever.
