What Could The Spin-Off Be About?
It’s admittedly still early to be speculating, but let’s do it anyway! Tolkien created a dense and intricate history of Middle-earth called The Silmarillion, which covered major events like the creation of the world, epic wars between races, political intrigue, the downfall of entire societies, dwarf and elvish history, and much more. There are dozens of options to choose from in there – even the recent Lord of the Rings video games incorporated characters from The Silmarillion like Celebrimbor, an Elvish prince who forged some of the rings of power. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a show (or two) about the creation of the rings, since that story would provide a bridge that leads directly to the movies.
