Sara Zwangobani, who is one of the stars set to feature in Amazon’sLord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, has described how her character’s Harfoot family struggles in season 1. Based on the works of prolific fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien, The Rings of Power is set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years prior to Frodo and his friends setting out for Mount Doom during the events depicted in The Lord of the Rings. Amazon has spent big in their quest to bring Tolkien’s Middle-earth to their Prime Video streaming service, reportedly making an unprecedented production commitment worth at least $1 billion over five seasons.

One such race expected to play a major role in the series are the Harfoots, distant ancestors and precursors to the Hobbits of the Shire. Unlike their Shire-bound kin, however, Harfoots are known for their nomadic lifestyles which would see them travel the wilds of Middle-earth.
