Rings of Power Star Explains How Show Sets up LOTR’s Tragic Isildur Story
Maxim Baldry, who is set to play Isildur in Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power opens up about how season 1 sets up his character’s tragic destiny. In 2017, Amazon acquired the television rights to The Lord of the Rings from the Tolkien estate for a record-breaking $250 million. Five seasons are planned for this epic, though Prime Video has only officially ordered two so far. Set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, the events depicted in The Rings of Power will take place thousands of years before the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films directed by Peter Jackson.
