These are the two highly anticipated series of the end of the summer: House of the Dragon, prequel to Game of Thrones, which will be broadcast from this Sunday evening, and The Lord of the Rings, to discover from September 2.
Two series with huge budgets, but which should undoubtedly attract fans of their respective universes.
Are you more dragon or hobbit?
In any case, it may be necessary to choose because two highly anticipated series are coming to TV.
House of the Dragon
will be broadcast this Sunday evening in the United States, next night in France.
And the series declined from
Game of Thrones
will therefore have to face the other heavyweight of the season,
The Lord of the Rings
.
The wallet of these two series weighs heavy: 200 million dollars for the creatures of
House of the Dragon
.
Success guaranteed for the series which should recover all fans of
Game of Thrones
, the most watched program in the world.
This Sunday, Fire Will Reign.

$1 billion for
The Lord of the Rings
But audiences will have to come face-to-face with Tolkien's magic with
The Lord of the Rings
, brought to life on television.
It is the most expensive series in the world, costing the Amazon platform $1 billion.
The plot will take place 4,000 years before Frodo and Gandalf.
But we will find the character of the elf Galadriel, played at the time by Cate Blanchett.
Precisely, we do not yet know the actors of this series which should be declined in five seasons.
Amazon is betting with
The Lord of the Rings, the rings of power
, on a bewitchment of viewers who will choose either to put the ring on their finger, or to go on the back of a dragon to covet the Iron Throne.
