The Rings of Power focuses on the Second, an epic span of time occurring thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit.Tolkien chronicled the Second Age in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, and McKay and Payne say they jumped at the chance to explore stories like Sauron's first rise to power and the original forging of the One Ring.
"We were not interested in doing a show about the younger version of the same world you knew, where it's a little bit of a prequel," McKay previously told EW. "We wanted to go way, way, way back and find a story that could exist on its own two feet. This was one that we felt hadn't been told on the level and the scale and with the depth that we felt it deserved."
