A young Aragorn.
Let's hope its like the Shannara TV show with gorgeous looking you men and women filling their dialogue with liberal uses of the words "like" and "innit" and the upward inflection of the Australian Question Intonation for even more added verisimilitude.
I can't wait.

We have/had a Young Indiana Jones series, a Young Superman series,... why not a Young Aragorn one?

Re: TV series set in Middle Earth may be coming
I just hope they will introduce a true multi-ethnic cast this time, it's disgusting how Middle-Earth is like a white gentlemen's club. Everybody is white, most of them are men, and anything to do with 'black' is evil, right? In this day and age, that sort of thing is just not right.
