This is the second casting announcement for the series in as many weeks. It was previously revealed that seven actors were joining the series, including Sam Hazeldine, who will take over the role of Adar from Joseph Mawle in the second season.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” hails from J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, who serve as executive producers and showrunners.
