According to several reports, Robert Aramayo will play a leading role, but the specifics of his part haven’t been revealed. Originally, the part had gone to Will Poulter but the actor eventually departed the series. That paved the way for Aramayo to once again step into the big-budget world of swords and sorcery. Other confirmed cast members include Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle and Maxim Baldry. Morfydd Clark is also on board to play a young Galadriel, who was previously played by Cate Blanchett in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies.

Robert Aramayo has a couple of other major projects on deck for 2020, including the mystery horror flick Antabellum, as well as the Kingsman prequel, The King’s Man. Some of his other credits include the Oscar-nominated Nocturnal Animals, Netflix’s Mindhunter and The Standoff at Sparrow Creek. This continues a hot streak for the 27-year-old British actor. Details regarding the plot of the show remain under wraps. It will, however, explore new stories and is set to take place during what is known as the Second Age, which is before the events of the main Lord of the Rings books/movies. The Second Age concludes with the fall of Sauron, meaning it’s highly probable we will see Sauron at the height of his powers during the events of the show.
