Official cast of the Lord of the Rings prequel series is out. Might be the only fantasy series that has gotten me excited after The Witcher flattered to deceive. Love to see what Amazon will do with this. #LOTRonPrime

Just last month, the castings agents for The Lord of the Rings TV Series announced that they were looking for people with fewer teeth, extra wrinkles and usual amounts of body hair to play the orcs and goblins. In the highest budgeted TV programme, the 'different' looking actors are wanted by two casting agents based in Auckland, New Zealand. Amazon has already spent nearly £190 million just to obtain the rights of the show which will also be the first adaption since Peter Jackson's films in the early 2000s.
