The untitled series was picked up for multiple seasons at the streamer when it was first ordered back in 2017. Filming was completed on the first season of the show on Aug. 2. Season 1 post-production will continue in New Zealand through June 2022, while pre-production on Season 2 will begin concurrently in the U.K. after the first of the year.
Sources close to production say Bray Film Studios and Bovingdon Airfield will be the initial production facilities used to film the big-budget series. Pre-production is set to begin in the second quarter of 2022.
Based in Maidenhead, to the west of London, Bray Film Studios boasts almost 54,000 square feet and a 183,000-square-foot backlot. “Mamma Mia” and “Rocketman” are among the productions to have used the studio, as well as the series “Bodyguard” and “Dracula.”
Meanwhile, the Bovingdon Airfield, to the north west of London in Hertfordshire, has 60 acres of open land. Movies filmed there include “Justice League” and “Fast and the Furious 6,” while ITV Studios also has a facility on the premises, where entertainment juggernaut “Dancing on Ice” is filmed.
As is expected for such a sprawling production, more filming locations for “Lord of the Rings” will be scouted in time.

“We don’t want to give too much away, but one character we’re excited for folks to meet in Season 2 is Círdan the Shipwright,” says Payne. “In the time of our story, he’s the oldest of all known elves in Middle-earth—in fact he lived so long, he had a beard.”

Joseph Mawle était le meilleur cast de la série... C'est con.
Mais vraiment pas le meilleur personnage.
On sait pourquoi il ne rempile pas ?
Sinon, que des réalisatrices de série, ça sent la saison 2 au rabais.

Interview de Vernon Sanders (Head of Global TV chez Amazon (il dit que la saison sera bigger, faster, stronger)) :
DEADLINE: How is production on Season 2 going?
SANDERS: It’s going great. Season 1 had so much establishing to do that we now get to have the fun of seeing the story ramp up as Sauron is revealed. And I think audiences can look forward to a show that, while it feels true to itself, feels like the stakes are ever higher and now that the rings are in play, seeing what they can do and seeing how the various factions within the world deal with those implications. I think it’s going to be really compelling.
DEADLINE: How is moving production from New Zealand to the UK going to impact Season 2? SANDERS: We’re going to new lands, and there are new expansive things happening in season two. And part of the benefit of being in the UK is that we’re going to be able to shoot in places that look very different than what we saw in season one. We’re able to shoot all across Europe, and we will see some of that production value on screen.
DEADLINE: What did you learn from the experience of developing and producing Season 1 that you are applying to Season 2?
SANDERS: We’ve never done anything like this. So the whole production model, how to produce a show like this, the scale work, all that were things that we needed to learn for the first time in the process of making the show. We are going to be faster. We are going to be able to put more money on screen, just in terms of the scale and scope of what we’re doing now that we know how to do it. And I also think the pace of our story is going to increase in part because the story is demanding that now that everyone’s been established, the stakes are established, that we’re going to watch some characters in some lands go to war.
DEADLINE: Speaking of war, will we see bigger battles in Season 2?
SANDERS: Yes, I can say you will see bigger battles in season two including some iconic moments from the appendices and the books.
DEADLINE: Talk about the decision to recast a main character, Adar, heading into Season 2.
SANDERS: Unfortunately it didn’t work out. And with a show that had this many series regulars and this many recurring characters, it unfortunately happened. Joseph was tremendous and gave an incredible performance. We’re also excited about our new actor. The character of Adar in Season 2 has some really exciting dynamic things to play so I’m telling them to stay tuned.
DEADLINE: From the Season 2 cast addition announcements so far it appears that you are continuing to bring diversity to Middle-earth. Can you speak about that and tease more familiar characters from the lore that we can expect?
SANDERS: The series continues to be cast from all around the world. We think that represents the show that we created in Season 1, and we’re doing the same thing for Season Two, we are trying to find the best actor for the role.
We’ve already announced that there’ll be some characters from the lore. I don’t think we’ve announced all of them, so there are surprises to come. I think the fans will be really delighted.
C'est très bien de teaser la S3 mais... où en est la 2 ?
En vrai c'est rassurant car le temps de développement (d'écriture... ) nécessaire à chaque saison est considérable, et vu le demi-échec de la première, plus tôt ils s'y prennent mieux ce sera.

ANNATAR ??!!!
Je ne m'y attendais pas après le coup de Halbrand et maintenant que les anneaux elfiques sont crées.
Il aurait peut-être été plus subtil de changer d'acteur, là ils prêtent le flanc aux critiques (incroyable la haine que la série se prend sur youtube d'ailleurs). Il va falloir jouer cette carte très finement, c'est faisable mais quasiment tous les principaux personnages elfes savent déjà à quoi ressemble Sauron sous cette forme, j'espère qu'ils ne comptent pas nous faire avaler qu'ils ne le reconnaissent pas maintenant.
En tout cas très bonne surprise pour moi, ils s'attaquent bien au morceau qu'on pouvait espérer pour cette seconde saison. J'étais beaucoup plus curieux de voir cette BA que celles de HotD (qui était déjà impeccable avec sa première saison, aucune inquiétude pour la suite).

Je n'avais plus vraiment d'attente pour cette saison 2, même si pas détesté la première (juste saoulé par le faux suspens Sauron).
Mais le trailer donne envie !
