Amazon Prime Video’s Lord Of The Rings TV series has announced the main cast, including Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur and more.

Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Budge, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers and Daniel Weyman have all been confirmed to feature in the upcoming series.

Table reads in New Zealand are already underway, with filming set to start in February and is said to be costing an enormous $1billion (£768million) to make.

Rumours had previously surfaced that Robert Aramayo, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh and Joseph Mawle had signed up for the show but Amazon didn’t confirm the news until now.




Will Poulter had initially signed up for the series but ended up pulling out in December due to scheduling conflicts.

Robert Aramayo, who previously starred as young Ned Stark in Game Of Thrones, will be playing Beldor in the upcoming series.

Robert played the young Ned Stark in flashback sequences throughout Game Of Thrones’ run, and has appeared in critically acclaimed films including Nocturnal Animals, and the upcoming The King’s Man – a Kingsman prequel.

Amazon Co-head of TV Vernon Sanders said: ‘We still have a few key roles to cast’, keeping tight-lipped about other actors who may be joining the series.

Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay added: ‘After undertaking an extensive global search, we are delighted finally to reveal the first group of brilliant performers who will take part in Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series.

‘These exceptionally talented women and men are more than just our actors: they are the newest members of an ever-expanding creative family that is now working tirelessly to bring Middle-earth to life anew for fans and audiences worldwide.’

The storylines are a closely guarded secret at present, though it has been revealed that the TV series will explore new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Fellowship Of The Ring.
