I don’t think the Tolkien estate is willing to option Silmarillion or any other content. Far as I know, all of the film and TV content is based on a single, very old license agreement from before they soured on film and video. As a result it only covers The Hobbit and LOTR. The Amazon show was therefore restricted to the LOTR appendices only.
and it really shows with how stretched out and shit that show’s writing is. They would’ve been better off to make it a comparatively short trilogy at best and not a series.
Maybe he’s gonna do The Silmarillion

I love pointing out that Amazon made an excited show out of footnotes and authors notes.
