Developed by JD Payne and Patrick McKay, the fantasy series takes place in the mythical Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years prior to the events depicted in the beloved The Lord of the Rings films.
The R-rated film is produced by Greg Berlanti, p.g.a., and Sarah Schechter, p.g.a., and executive produced by Casey McQuiston, Michael Riley McGrath, Matthew López, Michael S Constable.
In the series, Brian Cox will be cast as the The Controller, who has millions of pounds to give away — up to £1m per couple — but he doesn’t make it easy.
