Although it is not clear which companies will aspire to the series, the closest candidate is Amazon, which is preparing to publish The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power series soon. Amazon bought the rights for this series for $ 250 million.
On the other hand is Warner Bros. itself. Warner Bros., which was previously in litigation with the Tolkien Estate for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy, is working on the production of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, which will be in the anime genre. It is not impossible for Warner Bros. to pursue these rights with a big surprise.
