Amazon is turning The Lord of the Rings into a TV show
RE: ...I have no idea what to say. - Dartz - 11-13-2017
It'll probably be turned into the standard TV-structure, 5 minutes of setup, 2 minutes of stuff, ad-break, 5 minutes recapping the previous segment, 2 minutes of stuff moving forward, ad-break..... Ten minutes entrtainment in an hour long slot type stuff.

Amazon video doesn't have adverts, you pay by giving them so much a month/year

What do you mean, "a"?
Amazon to make multiple Lord of the Rings prequel TV series

There's also the millennia prior to The Hobbit that such a series could explore — loads of stuff from The Silmarillion, The Book of Lost Tales, etc. It still doesn't strike me as a GOOD idea, but it's not as obviously a money-grubbing bad idea as the initial headline made it sound.

From what I've heard, this is post Hobbit, pre LotR.
