the series will cover Saurons slow rise to power over its multi-season run, leading up to (or going beyond) the moment when Isildur battles Sauron, defeating him using his fathers broken sword Narsil and cutting the One Ring from Saurons fingers. Its a moment audiences will be familiar with from the introductory sequence of The Fellowship of the Ring.

He basically wrote an entire alternate universe into literal existence so Im guessing he wrote about this time period, yeah.

He wrote a lot of backstory for Sauron yes.

I guess technically they could be ignoring that and making one up.

How involved are Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf during this period?

I know Elrond is in the battle against Sauron, but Hugo Weaving doesn't seem like he would return. I know McKellen is definitely down. No clue about Blanchett.

Not really at all beyond a mention here and there.

I'm also assuming every role is recast. It's not in continuity with the movies, I think?

It was supposed to be in continuity at first, but things have changed a lot since originally announced, so who knows?

McKellen is down and these are immortal motherfuckers. If their parts are minimal, they could easily just get them. At the very least Gandalf. They're spending a billion on this shit altogether, might as well go all out. A recast Gandalf would be horrible lol.

IIRC, the Tolkien estate cuts down on that pretty bad and is restrictive on making new material.

If its a comprehensive backstory on Sauron that doesnt include the actual war of the ring, Gandalf would be in like 4 minutes of it, honestly, and he would be arguing with CGI Christopher Lee about how to spend their resources.
