The deal is for a multi-season commitment and will apparently explore the pre-LOTR saga, though details are still limited. (Let's hope they don't go Young Bilbo the way they went Young Anakin.)

The news also didn't come with an expected release date, but we'll keep a close eye on what Amazon Studios releases in the coming months.
