Have heard quite a bit about this. Remains to be seen if anything will come of it.

Still, couldn't it work? We've talked before about how a TV series would have the potential to be more satisfying to purists. |

I'm already skeptical just on the basis of who is involved. I don't think their motivations lend themselves to being faithful to Tolkien's narrative. I fear Amazon is trying to make the next Game of Thrones. I don't want to see the Prancing Pony turned into a bordello. I also think this is still too soon after the movies for anything else to really take off. |

You can't handle the truth!

It is, in fact, the Estate- probably not unconnected with Christopher Tolkien's resignation as President at the beginning of August. The original JRRT-United Artists contract explicitly reserved the TV rights, so this could not have come from ZaentzCorp/Middle-earth Enterprises, who only got film rights (plus "derivative rights" which their lawyers have ballooned into everything from videogames to poker machines).
