The number of episodes in the first season of The Lord of the Rings has been announced
The first season of the television series based on The Lord of the Rings will consist of two dozen episodes. This was told by one of the participants in the project, Tom Shippi, quoted by the publication Slash Film. "They are planning 20 episodes for the first season. But until they decide what the ending should be, they can't start movieing," he said. According to Shipley, the heirs of the author of "The Lord of the Rings" made a condition - do not change anything in the content. "The Tolkien Foundation will insist that the Second Age storyline remains unchanged. Sauron invades Eriador, but is soon forced to retreat under the onslaught of Numenor's forces. He then finds himself in Numenor. There he corrupts its inhabitants and convinces them to violate the Valar prohibition. All this must remain intact. But we can add new characters and ask many questions, for example: "What did Sauron do during this time? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated?" In theory, Amazon can answer these questions by making up its own stories, since Tolkien has no direction whatsoever. But this should not contradict what the writer himself came up with, "he added. Recall that Amazon bought the movie rights for $ 250 million. The first season is expected to be presented to viewers in 2021.
