WELCOME TO NUMENOR
The opulent human kingdom of Numenor has not been depicted in previous movies and the production of the new series has built the entire seaside city from the ground up, stone by stone. In Tolkien's books Númenor is the
greatest human civilization in Middle-earth's history, a beacon of knowledge and culture that influenced the rest of the world. The most expensive series ever is inspired by the extensive notes that Tolkien has left behind him. The
island of Númenor is ruled by the queen regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), and this seemingly idyllic paradise is facing tensions of its own. Númenórean royals are human but have elvish blood, and for years, they've
been friends with their immortal counterparts. Míriel is aided by her close counsel Pharazôn (TrystanGravelle), with his son Kemen played by Leon Wadham. Númenor also has hopeful allies, like the sea-faring Elendil
(Lloyd Owen) and his son Isildur (Maxim Baldry). The young Isildur is Aragorn's direct ancestor who will grow up to face off against Sauron, but in the series he's just a young sailor trying to find his place in Middle-earth.
Emma Horvath plays Isildur's sister Eärien who wants to become an architect. You can also check out the magnificent full first trailer below released an hour ago to the delight of fans around the world:

UNCOUPLED TRAILER
NEIL P. HARRIS IS NEWLY SINGLE, WHO FORGOT HOW TO MINGLE
Netflix has sent us the trailer for their new eight episode comedy series UNCOUPLED which will stream July 29th with Neil Patrick Harris in the lead with Darren
Star as the producer. The dating pool is a difficult place to be in the best of circumstances, but it’s even harder when you’ve been shoved in the deep end with no warning. That’s the lesson thriving New York City real estate broker Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) learns in the new sitcom UNCOUPLED. When his loving boyfriend of 17 years moves out, Michael’s steady life is turned upside down — and to make matters even worse, he’s now a 50-year-old man who needs to learn how to use Grindr without accidentally calling an Uber. Peter Porte and Marcia Gay Harden also star.
