The Lord Of The Rings

The small screen adaptation of The Lord Of The Rings is set to be the most expensive TV series ever. The battle for rights of the fantasy adventure was on for quite some time between Netflix and Amazon. The negotiations have resulted in Amazon acquiring the rights of the series, adapted from JRR Tolkien's books, for USD 250 million. The five-season series deal ensures that the show must be in production within two years. The series is expected to cost more than USD 1 million, with the casting, producers, and visual effects factored in.
