Check out details and secrets of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'

The producers and cast of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' have recently revealed the challenges behind the scenes. The show is written for a time, much before the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

Only for Tolkien fans?
Charlie Vickers (Halbrand) says no homework is required, but having prior knowledge about the world and lore would enhance the experience.

However, one can also go into it as a completely new Tolkien fan. Sara Zwangobani (Marigold Brandyfoot) says that she hopes they can bring in new fans who like this sort of world and get more people to watch the show.


What can you expect?
Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) says that the main character is Middle-earth in Tolkien's world. It makes sense if one understands that. Patrick McKay (executive producer and showrunner) says there is great evil in the show, just like in Tolkien. However, the makers wanted the evil to have a point of view, one that would be true to him. The show's first line says, 'Nothing is evil in the beginning.'

Sophia Nomvete (Dwarven Princess) says that the show has bravery matched with fear. She believes they live in a world where external forces and society can dim instincts, the instinct that says 'do it.'

Maxim Baldry (Isildur) says he feels the weight of expectation on his character as people already have an idea of the character. However, this show is set many years before that, and that is when his character begins.
