View original postUnless they are doing a Hobbit sitcom there really isn't much more Frodo story to tell. Strider on the other hand has 80 years of story we know almost nothing about. His time as a Ranger could make interesting TV.
A Strider prequel would be like those licensed Starwars books where nothing of consequence is allowed to happen to the major characters.
