We are absolutely delighted to share the news that Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary will score Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series. McCreary is kind of a workaholic, with several groundbreaking genre projects under his belt like “Battlestar Galactica,” “The Walking Dead,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Child’s Play,” “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” and much, much more.
Howard Shore, who’s beautiful themes helped cement Sir Peter Jackson‘s “The Lord of the Rings” films as dreamscape greatness, will compose the series theme.
The news was revealed on Thursday July 21st, as San Diego Comic-Con is just getting started. The official “Rings of Power” panel is set for Friday, July 22nd, and we expect to get more of a taste of what McCreary has in store for fans.
We’ll keep you updated on this and other SDCC news.
“The Rings of Power” will premiere on Amazon Prime Video September 2nd, 2022.
