Great news! Plenty of room for made-up sub-GoT antics and not too much in the way of story straightjacket.

As you say, the key will be when they choose to set it, assuming they stick with the broad SA timeline.

I guess that's the sort of thing that executive producers have to wrestle with. If you start too late so that you can finish up with the Downfall, for example, you've got less room for sequels if it's a hit.

That said, I can see plenty of mileage in the rise of Sauron (who could still take a fair form, IIRC), the forging of the rings, Moria, etc etc.

Does anybody know how many episodes/series are in the works?
