Creators Of The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Series Have Released The First Photos Of Orcs

The game web IGN has informed that the creators of the anticipated prequel series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have given us a first look at the Orcs. The series will be available on Prime Video on the 2nd of September and will have 8 episodes. 

Orcs should be given more space in the series than in the movies up until now. Since The Rings of Power will be set in the so called Second Age, and will therefore take place in a period before the famous trilogy by Peter Jackson, we will see Orcs scattered all over Middle-Earth.

Thousands of years before they have transformed into an unimaginable force which subsequently helped destroy the realm of elfs and people, there is paradoxically little Orcs, they are not lucky and are fighting for survival. "We spent a lot of time talking about what it meant to be an Orc in the Second Age," said the executive producer Lindsey Weber. 

„It seemed appropriate for their appearance to be different, as a part of a wilder, more drastic Second Age of Middle-Earth, closer to where The First Age ends. When we meet them, they are not yet organized into armies, are a bit more scattered and looking for food. So it is just a different age in their complete story," she added. According to the first photos, the series Orcs look quite scary.
