Co-executive producer Patrick McKay said Tolkien has had "some of the greatest female characters in literature" and Galadriel was one of the first characters the creators thought about for the new story.
"Imagining what her world was like and what she might have been struggling with from clues throughout the text was really a joy," McKay said.
Trystan Gravelle who plays Pharazon shared the same sentiment and said he doesn't think there's anyone more "badass on this Earth than a woman."
"To see that on screen, to see Morfydd take names and take numbers like she does, is incredible," he said.
Among others, the show stars Robert Aramayo, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Sophia Nomvete, and Nazanin Boniadi and is set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years prior to "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" films.
The series follows both new and seasoned characters as they face the re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth and carve out legacies that will last lifetimes.
