R. R. Tolkien upon whose books those films were based.

Netflix pitched multiple connected series focusing on characters such as Aragorn and Gandalf which reportedly “completely freaked out the estate”. Amazon did not pitch a specific story but promised to work closely with Tolkien’s estate so they could “protect Tolkien’s legacy”, which the estate felt they were unable to do with previous adaptations.Amazon emerged as the frontrunner by September 2017 and entered negotiations.

On November 13, 2017, Amazon acquired the global television rights for close to US$250 million. Industry commentators described this amount—before any production costs and without any creative talent attached to the project—as “insane” although some considered the project to be more of a reputational risk for Amazon than a financial one due to Bezos’s wealth Amazon’s streaming service Amazon Prime Video gave a multi-season commitment to the series that was believed to be for five seasons, with the possibility of a spin-off series as well. Despite this, Prime Video had to give a formal greenlight to future seasons before work could begin on them
The budget was expected to be in the range of US$100–150 million per season, and was likely to eventually exceed US$1 billion which would make it the most expensive television series ever made. Warner Bros. Television was not involved in the project because Amazon Studios wanted to produce it themselves. Amazon was working with the Tolkien Estate, the Tolkien Trust, HarperCollins, and New Line Cinema. New Line, the Warner Bros. division that produced the films, was reportedly included to allow the use of material from the films in the series. The estate imposed creative restrictions on the series, and the deal stipulated that production begin within two years.

The showrunners disagreed with suggestions that the series was only “vaguely connected” to Tolkien’s writings. McKay said they felt it was “deeply, deeply connected” and a “story we’re stewarding that was here before us and was waiting in those books” to be told. A disclaimer is featured in the series’ end credits stating that some elements are “inspired by, though not contained in, the original source material”.

Rick Heinrichs was initially announced as production designer, but was soon replaced by Ramsey Avery. The showrunners gave Avery several “guideposts” when he joined the series: they wanted the series to feel like a real world that the characters lived in rather than a fantasy world; as many of the sets needed to be built for real as possible, using visual effects only when necessary; the audience should be able to easily identify the different cultures of Middle-earth; and the series had to be true to Tolkien. A “war room” was assembled where the design language for each culture was defined. The series’ designs reflect that it is set thousands of years earlier than the films and depicts a “golden age” of Middle-earth. Avery and Hawley did not return for the second season. They were replaced by Kristian Milsted and Luca Mosca, respectively.

The week after filming ended for the first season, Amazon announced that it was moving production of the series to the United Kingdom starting with the second season. Factors that played a role in the change included Amazon already heavily investing in UK studio space for other productions as well as New Zealand’s restrictive pandemic-era border policies.
