‘Lord Of The Rings’ TV Series Cast Adds Ema Horvath As An Orc Or An Elf Or Something, Who Knows
TheLord of the RingsTV series cast has added another name, and as is par for the course for this show, we have no idea who they’re playing.Ema Horvathis the new addition, and the actress is probably playing an orc, or an elf, or a hobbit, or something. We can only guess, because nearly every detail of this show is being locked up tighter than Fort Knox.Deadlinehas the news about Ema Horvath joining theLord of the RingsTV series cast. And while they don’t come right out and say it, I’m just going to assume Horvath is playing Tom Bombadil. If Amazon wants to prove me wrong, they’re going to have to release the name of heractualcharacter. Checkmate, Jeff Bezos.
Horvath joins Will Poulter, Markella Kavenagh, and Joseph Mawle, who are all part of the cast even though Amazon has yet to confirm that. Horvath is a relatively new actress, and her credits includeThe Gallows Act IIand the fairly entertaining horror anthology movieThe Mortuary Collection.
The series will focus on “previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings.” The show is set during the 3,441-year period, known as the Age of Númenor, or the Second Age, long before the events ofThe Fellowship of The Ring.Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdomdirector J.A. Bayona is helming the first two episodes of the show.
After those two episodes are shot, the series will immediately go on hiatus for a few months to verify everything is going smoothly. If not, some retooling will take place. In any case, the series has already been renewed for a second season, and Amazon reportedly has a five-season commitment on the show after shelling out $250 million for the rights alone. The series itself is said to a billion-dollar production budget.
No release date has been set yet for theLord of the RingsTV series, but it’s expected to arrive on Amazon in 2021, at which point we may or may not have some actual information about the show.
