Amazon Studios is developing a television series based on J R R Tolkien&#39;s fantasy novels The Lord of the Rings.&nbsp;The studio has made a multi-season production commitment to the TV series, reported Variety.

The original series will be produced by Amazon Studios in cooperation with the Estate of J R R Tolkien, publishing house HarperCollins, and New Line Cinema, a division of Warner Bros.&nbsp;However, the series will not be a retelling of Peter Jackson&#39;s Oscar-winning trilogy.

Warner Bros and the Tolkien estate have been shopping a series based on the classic fantasy novels and their assortment of hobbits, wizards, and warriors, sparking a competitive situation from which Amazon emerged as the victor.
