This anime entry into the Tolkien saga is based on three pages of the Return of the King appendix and follows the 9th King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand. It is set to release on December 13th 2024.
The story is set 200 years before the Lord of the Rings and is narrated by Miranda Otto, reprising her role as Eowyn.
The executive producer is Lord of the Rings screenwriter Philippa Boyens, who is interviewed here by YouTube channel Nerd of the Rings.
They're joined about halfway through by the movies screenwriters, Phoebe Gittens and Kenji Kamiyama.
The appendices offer a lot of great material to mine for animated releases, but I really hope that they are somehow able to get into the stories from the Unfinished Tales book. The Rohan story that I would really love to see realized is the origins of Rohan, the tale of Cirion and Eorl.
