PREQUELS
Reenter the fantasy world imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien. In Middle-earth’s dangerous Second Age ( before hobbit Bilbo’s adventure), viewers see the forging of the 20 rings of power—and the elven kings, dwarf lords and mortals who are corrupted by the evil artifacts. Five bigbudget seasons are on deck. The massive cast includes Morfydd Clark (below) as elven royal) as Celebrimbor, the elven smith manipulated by dark lord Sauron to create the rings.
