Deadline is reporting that production has resumed on Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series in New Zealand with Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop expected to resume filming there as well on Wednesday, September 30.
The Second Age covered nearly 3,441 years, and it began after the banishment of Morgoth, the dark lord before Sauron.
The series adaptation of The Lord of the Rings received an early Season 2 renewal last year, and the outlet notes the show’s writing team used the hiatus to map out and write scripts for the second season.
The highly-anticipated Lord of the Rings series will be set in the Second Age.
