Amazon is currently filming the series in New Zealand. The story is set to take place thousands of years before the events of "The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings."

"The Lord of the Rings," based on J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy novel, was adapted into a live-action film trilogy starting in 2001.

In 2012, the franchise launched "The Hobbit" film trilogy. —JCB, GMA News
