The Lord of the Rings series was announced back in 2017. It is based on the books by JRR Tolkien. Peter Jackson, who directed the films in the 2000s, is not involved in The Rings of Power. It should not be a remake of the films. Instead, the series shows the prehistory from the Lord of the Rings universe. With Sauron, Isildur and Galadriel there should be a reunion with some well-known characters.
