Luke Lelliott, who had joined Amazon's Lord of the Rings TV series in September, has exited the show due to scheduling conflicts, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The streamer had moved ahead with an early renewal for Season 2 for the adaption of J.R.R. Tolkein's fantasy novels. In partnership with the renewal, the series will be going on a 4-5 month hiatus after filming the first 2 episodes from Season 1 to map out and write the bulks for Season 2. It was said that the production schedule made it unworkable for Lelliott to continue on with the project as well as his other committments.
Lelliott recently appeared in the Netflix film The Dirt and the role of Gally in Maze Runner franchise along with Dunkirk and the Netflix series Godless.
