The Theory - While Amazon is keeping specific plot details about its Lord of the Rings series very close to its chest right now, many fans believe that the show will focus mainly on the original creation of the Rings of Power. That includes some characters that writer-director Peter Jackson may have left out of his Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films. Indeed, with the series’ scope set to extend, at the very least, from the Years of the Trees through the Second Age of Middle-earth, the door is open for the project to bring some truly beloved Lord of the Rings characters to life on-screen for the first time.

However, the recent revelation that the series will also depict moments from periods before the Second Age has only made fans that much more curious to learn more about its mysterious cast of characters - and it’s not hard to see why. Tolkien fans ever since Amazon first announced the series and later revealed it will take place primarily during the Second Age of Middle-earth - far before the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That question has been on the minds of J.R.R. Which characters will appear in Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series?
