We will see a young Aragorn’s early adventures as a ranger. The rest of the cast includes Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Serkis as Gollum, and Ian McKellen, who will be back as Gandalf.

2. Trust (TBA)
‘Trust’ is an upcoming drama series that promises to be another feather in the cap of the versatile Winslet. The series, based on Hernan Diaz’s 2022 novel of the same name, will be written and directed by Todd Haynes. It delves into the life of a wealthy financier who, discontented with a novel that portrays his life and his wife’s role in it, commissions a secretary to ghostwrite his memoir to set the record straight. However, as the secretary delves deeper, she becomes increasingly aware that he’s rewriting history, especially concerning his wife’s place in it. The narrative, told through four distinct voices and genres, challenges the very concept of truth and who has the authority to define it.
Winslet, renowned for her roles in iconic films and series, is not just participating as an actor but is also one of the executive producers of the series. The project further solidifies her collaboration with HBO, following her critically acclaimed role in ‘Mare of Easttown.’ While details about her character are still under wraps, the series is still in active development, and audiences eagerly await further updates concerning its production, anticipating another masterful portrayal by Winslet.
