Following the departure of original lead Will Poulter from the upcoming Lord of The Rings series, Amazon has found a replacement in the form of Robert Aramayo, who is best known for playing young Ned Stark in seasons 6 and 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones.

Aramayo will play the young hero of the tale, who is being referred to as Beldor (although there is speculation that he will turn out to be an established character). He joins previously announced cast members Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle and Morfydd Clark, who is believed to be playing a younger incarnation of Elf Queen Galadriel.

The Lord of the Rings is set to begin filming soon in New Zealand with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona at the helm of the first two episodes.

We still don't know a whole lot about this take on Tolkien's classic, but it is expected to be a prequel of sorts to the original trilogy, set during The Second Age.

I was impressed with his Sean Bean impression for the short period of time he was on screen, looking forward to this series.

I like Poulter as an actor, but I don't think I could have dealt with him as a Middle-earth lead. Young Eddard Stark is an upgrade for me.

I kinda wish this series was based off the Middle Earth Shadows of Mordor and Shadows Of War games.

@AnthonyVonGeek - I kind of wish those games didn't exist as any part of Middle-earth lore, however easy it is to ignore them.

@AnthonyVonGeek - uhhhh no. Those games took a massive dump on Tolkien and Middle-earth lore.

Can't argue with the casting, yet. The quality of this show will depend on the material they choose and they're adherence to it. Tolkien's works rival both Marvel and DC in terms of their wealth of adaptable material. Still, I don't have a ton of faith in the people behind this project.

That’s cool, he’s from Kingston Upon Hull where I’m
from, pretty nice guy from what I’ve heard.

I’d much rather it be him that Will Poulter, can’t stand his face
