Just saw a new article about the proposed series.
They describe it as a "partnership" between Amazon and the Estate (wonder how CT feels about that). One quote that stands out: Quote:

The rumours I've seen are that they've approved 5 seasons (risky!), with the first probably being Young Aragorn. I think it's likely that the other seasons will follow the first, chronologically, which means... well, what are the options? -Adventures of the Old Took. Obviously a bit out of its timeline, but viable, and a hilarious notion. -Adventures of Tom Bombadil. ^_^ -Adventures of Balin in Moria. A bit of a downer. -Adventures of Not-So-Young Legolas (And Tauriel). Time to reuse those Hobbit movie sets! -Adventures of Evil Saruman. C'mon, we could definitely have a season of Saruman's fall into darkness. (Again, serious timeline issues, but this is Movie-earth.) -Adventures of Young Imrahil. If Young Aragorn doesn't cover the Corsairs, then this Dol Amroth-centric series will. -Adventures of Young(??) Galadriel. Who wants to stay in the woods when you can go be shiny at people? -Adventures of Young Theoden. Horses! ... more horses! -Adventures of Young Talion. Because what we really need is Mordor the Green and Pleasant Land, right? ... right?! -Adventures of The War In The North. I suppose we should pay lip service to the whole plot of the books, yeah? In which case... -Adventures in Scouring the Shire. Hey, PJ left it out, so we get to put it in. And, finally... -Adventures in Gardening. Just a whole season of Master Samwise peacefully tending his garden, looking after his kids, and being the best dang mayor the Shire has ever had. hS |

Regarding the young Aragorn point-the appendices do give some material to work with.
My attitude towards this is cautious neutrality-if it turns out to be good and faithful both the lore and spirit of the work then I will be pleased. If its mediocre then well at least it wasn't terrible, if its terrible well then I will be unhappy but unsurprised. |

I was thinking about this thread the other day. Assuming that this series doesn't become a cesspool of intersectional politics, I'd genuinely like to see all original characters and storylines, with the known Tolkien characters in the background or in cameo appearances.
The reason for this is because we already know the fates of the existing characters, which takes some of the adventure out of the story. Example: Aragorn is in a cliffhanger ending. Well, it's not really a cliffhanger because we know that, no matter what, Aragorn will survive to appear later in Rivendell and save Middle Earth afterward.
