'Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power': Who is Lenny Henry's Sadoc Burrow? Meet the 'incredibly brave' Harfoot
'Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power' which is one of the most awaited shows of all time is all set to premiere on September 1, 2022. The show has its own fan base from the movie franchise which will automatically draw in a large audience. Although there are conjectures by the fans and the media of how the show might be competing with HBO's fantasy series 'House Of The Dragon', a spin-off of the 'Game Of Thrones', the creators of the new series feel it is best if left unaddressed.
'Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power' brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. The epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' and takes viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil on Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone. In the series, we will see an ensemble cast including Lenny Henry. Read more to know more about Lenny Henry's character Sadoc Burrow in the series.

Larry Henry, who plays the character, said in an exclusive interview with Empire, “We’re a nomadic tribe, moving with the weather and the fertility of the crops. We have big caravans on wooden wheels and we’re very good at hiding things because humans are much bigger than us and bring trouble,” He continued, "We’re the traditional Tolkien little guy, traditionally, the little people in this world provide comedy but also get to be incredibly brave. You’re going to see us run the full gamut of emotions and actions in this adventure.”
