The Second Age lasted for 3441 years and ended with the downfall of Sauron’s army when he was defeated by the Last Alliance of Elves and Men following the downfall of Númenor.

On top of that, the official press release for the series noted the show would “explore new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring.” In other words, don’t expect a whole bunch of familiar characters popping up.

“The Lord of the Rings is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen. We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking The Lord of the Rings fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth.”
