Lord of the Rings Season 1 Showrunner, Crew, and More

Creators J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay (both are co-writers of Star Trek Beyond) have both been tabbed as co-showrunners to oversee the entire production. Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, A Monster Calls, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) will direct the first two episodes, to be followed in some order by television directors Charlotte Brändström (The Witcher, Jupiter’s Legacy) and Wayne Yip (Doctor Who, Preacher), and possibly others still yet to be announced.

The writer’s room includes Jason Cahill (The Sopranos, Halt and Catch Fire), Justin Doble (Stranger Things), and Gennifer Hutcherson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul).

Lord of the Rings Season 1 Cast

The sprawling ensemble is mostly made up of newcomers and fresh faces, making it all the easier to disappear into the fantasy world. The cast will be led by Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.

Lord of the Rings Season 1 Trailer

Don’t be hasty. We just received our very first look at the series through a hint-filled image, but no actual footage is forthcoming just yet. We’re still a year away from release, however, leaving plenty of time to ramp up the marketing and get audiences truly excited for a return to Middle-earth.
