User blog comment:High King Ithilion/Amazon To Produce a Lord of the Rings Series/@comment-33185350-20171114142421

It’s been said that it’s set before the Fellowship of the Ring. What does that mean? Is it starting a little earlier and then going through the story of the Lord of the Rings? Or is it telling its own story set in the Third Age? Or is it telling something like the story of the Quenta Silmarillion or the Akallabêth? I am not entirely sure what to think. Personally I hope they retell one of the books, but it seems likely that they are making up their own story.
