The official casting announcement was made back in January and at the time, Baldry hadn’t officially signed onto the project. But, there were rumors that he was going to be a lead in the show.

“We still have a few key roles to cast,” Amazon Co-head of TV Vernon Sanders said in the announcement.

Baldy will be joining Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Budge, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, and Daniel Weyman.

The British actor just wrapped up his role as Viktor in the BBC-HBO limited series Years and Years and he’s also known for appearing in the shows Doctor Who and Strike Back and well as the film Last Christmas.

Although production hasn’t started for the first season of The Lord of the Rings series, it’s already been renewed for a second season.

The country which was the primary filming location for Peter Jackson’s three Lord of the Rings films will serve as the production location for the forthcoming television series. 

The series, which is set to be the most expensive show ever made at an estimated cost of $1 billion, hails from showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay for Amazon Studios, which is producing in cooperation with the Tolkien Estate and Trust.

“We knew we needed to find somewhere majestic, with pristine coasts, forests, and mountains, that also is a home to world-class sets, studios, and highly skilled and experienced craftspeople and other staff,” said Payne and McKay. 

“As we searched for the location in which we could bring to life the primordial beauty of the Second Age of Middle-earth, we knew we needed to find somewhere majestic, with pristine coasts, forests, and mountains,” they added.

Production on the series is scheduled to begin in Auckland in the coming months.
