8 Upcoming TV Adaptations You Should Be Excited For

8. The Lord Of The Rings - Amazon

Peter Jackson's epic trilogy still holds up to this day as an accomplishment in grand-scale storytelling and visual effects. Adapting or remaking such a series of films might seem like a bad idea on paper, but given the wealth of source material in J.R.R Tolkien's work, it couldn't hurt to expand on some corners of the films fans didn't see.

The Lord Of The Rings series, coming to Amazon Prime, has been in production for quite some time now and that's assuredly a good thing. Knowing this series isn't being rushed onto the screens proves that studio minds behind the project are taking their time and doing this right. With something as big as this, I'm sure viewers would be willing to wait until it's complete.

Amazon has had a great run with its current adapted content, and there is no doubt the adapted TV series of The Lord Of The Rings will be any different. With new actors (and supposedly new characters) brought into the fold, there's very little risk of die-hard fans of the original trilogy seeing their favourite films spoiled by something new.
