"We saw hundreds of people for each role. Thousands total," Payne said."We had two criteria: they had to be an excellent performer, and two, we had to look in their eyes and say, 'do they have Middle-earth in them?'"

Payne also expanded on the show's outline and how it differs from Peter Jackson's hugely successful movie trilogy. He added: “It’s a human story — how far into the darkness are you willing to go to reach the good. The world is in a different state, the Second Age. It’s about reintroducing this world and there’s a new evil. We didn’t want to do a spin-off — we wanted to find a huge Tolkienian epic.

McKay added that the show will have wide appeal, but won't skimp on scares, telling Hall H:"[We wanted to] make a show for everyone, for kids who are 11, 12, and 13, even though sometimes they might have to pull the blanket up over their eyes if it’s a little too scary."We talked about the tone in Tolkien’s books.
