Tolkien fans are incredibly excited about the forthcoming “The Lord of the Rings” TV series. Not only is it an extension of the beloved Peter Jackson films, but it’s also going to explore a time in Middle-earth that has yet to be seen on screen. And when it was announced, it was clear Amazon was committing quite a bit of resources to the series, as it was guaranteed at least two seasons. But boy, oh boy, we had no idea just how costly this show would become.
