Markella Kavenagh & Megan Richards Interview: LOTR Rings of Power
The world of J.R.R. Tolkien is coming back to life with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, the Prime Video series acts as a prequel to both its titular novel franchise and The Hobbit book.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set thousands of years prior to both books and explores Middle-earth's Second Age that would lead to some of the biggest conflicts, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron and the last alliance between Elves and Men.
