The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power launched on Amazon's streaming service Prime Video on 1 September 2022. The series is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in the Second Age of Middle-earth.
Robert Aramayo, an English actor born in Britain, played the young Elrond, the elven half-blood later known as the lord of Rivendell. In the series he appears as a court official and diplomat close to the High King Gil-galad, and he forms a friendship with the dwarf prince Durin IV. The role was one of the show's central parts and brought Aramayo wider international recognition.
The production was among the most expensive television projects ever made, and Amazon had spent heavily on the rights to Tolkien's world. The premiere drew a large global audience, though critics and fans were divided over its changes to Tolkien's timeline and its pacing. The series was renewed for further seasons, and Aramayo continued in the role as the story moved forward.
