I am pleased to announce that Amazon has purchased the rights to my proposed TV series, "The Numenorean." Jeff Bezos read my proposal, realized it is clearly superior to Amazon's heavily criticized "Rings of Power" series, and decided to cancel Season 2 of Rings of Power in order to produce this project instead. He generously invited me to be a senior producer and screenwriter on it.
Mr. Bezos reached out to Pedro Pascal, who is also enthusiastic about the idea, and quickly agreed to play the title role. Viggo Mortensen will return to play King Elessar (Aragorn). We will soon be holding auditions for the role of the princess, and other important parts.
We expect to air the series by 2025, in time for the 80th anniversary of the publication of the Return of the King, to which this series will be a sequel.
