Before landing this major gig, Bayona has proven his talent with critically acclaimed dramas The Impossible and A Monster Calls. His most recent credit is blockbuster flick Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom from 2018.

The script will be written by JD Payne and Patrick McKay, who are excited about welcoming Bayona to the creative team. He’s equally thrilled to join them and bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic novels to our small screens.

“J.R.R. Tolkien created one of the most extraordinary and inspiring stories of all time, and as a lifelong fan it is an honor and a joy to join this amazing team. I can’t wait to take audiences around the world to Middle-earth and have them discover the wonders of the Second Age, with a never before seen story,” said Bayona in a statement.

Sharon Tal Yguasdo, head of scripted series for Amazon Studios, said in a statement that the streaming service is “thrilled to be taking ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth,” especially because the book series is a “cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen.”

Amazon Studios will produce the series working with the Tolkien estate and trust, HarperCollins, and the Warner Bros. division New Line Cinema.

“We are delighted that Amazon, with its long-standing commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multi-season television series for The Lord of the Rings,” Matt Galsor, representing the Tolkien estate and trust and HarperCollins, said in a statement.

This announcement marks the studio’s biggest acquisition to date.
