Indeed, according to the New Zealand media Stuff, the initial season of the series inspired by the universe of JRR Tolkien will cost approximately US $ 465 million (CAN 581 million) for a total of eight episodes.

Amazon declined to comment, but the numbers were revealed by New Zealand’s Minister of Economic Development, Stuart Nash, where the entire series will be filmed.

This new series will focus on events that took place in Middle-earth thousands of years before those of the novel. The hobbits. Robert Arayamo et Joseph Mawle (Game of Thrones) as well as Nazanin Boniadi (How I Met Your Mother) are part of the distribution. Amazon hopes to broadcast the series as early as 2021.
