The Lord of the Rings showrunner has finally spoken on the rivalry between the fantasy series and HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel. As both shows have spin-offs premiering soon, a competition between the fanbases has been sparked.

Lord of the Rings will be returning to screens next month with a highly anticipated prequel, The Rings of Power.

Just 10 days before its premiere, House of the Dragon will land on HBO to tell the story of the Targaryen civil war.

As for the epic fantasy, the storyline will be set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s hit adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

With both spin-offs premiering in close time, fans have fuelled a competition as comparisons have long been made between them.
