This multi-million dollar production, overseen by showrunners and producers JD Payne and Patrick McKay, it will begin in a period of peace. The quiet, however, will soon be endangered by a series of worrying omens concerning the emergence of a threat that will gradually become greater, namely the fearsome Sauron. The cast, in addition to Aramayo, sees among others Morfydd Clark as the warrior princess of the elves Galadriel, Maxim Baldry who plays the king of Númenór Isildur, and Ismael Cruz Córdova as the wood elf Arondir.
