Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series may be at least a year from its debut, but the company has begun quietly teasing this highly ambitious, highly expensive project. A series of tweets from the official “The Lord of the Rings on Prime” Twitter account has been offering clues as to when the show might take place and what pieces of J.R.R. Tolkien’s lore the series will focus on, and the newest teaser confirms Amazon’s adaptation will be set during the Second Age of Middle-earth.
