Earlier this week it was reported that actor Will Poulter would be dropping out of the series. When his casting was first announced many thought Poulter could be playing a younger Elrond (Made famous by Hugo Weaving).

JD Payne and Patrick McKay have been tapped to showrun the project. With Game of Thrones alum Bryan Cogman consulting and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A Bayona directing several episodes
