LOTR: ROP 5 Fully Planned Seasons
The co-creator of the show J.D.Payne, recently revealed to an outlet that the show is completely planned from beginning to the end across the 5 seasons.
“We even know what our final shot of the last episode is going to be. The rights that Amazon bought were for a 50-hour show. They knew from the beginning that was the size of the canvas – this was a big story with a clear beginning, middle and end. There are things in the first season that don’t pay off until Season 5″
The Show-runner also confirmed the show will be true to Tolkein’s vision and scope.
“The pressure would drive us insane if we didn’t feel like there was a story here that didn’t come from us. It comes from a bigger place. It came from Tolkien and we’re just the stewards of it. We trust those ideas so deeply, because they’re not ours. We’re custodians, at best.”
