Fantasy feast set for November

Sometime in November, fantasy fans may find their brains reaching overload.
Entire seasons of two shows will air onAmazon Prime during a two-week stretch. They are:
— The third season of “Lord Of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Four episodes will arrive Nov. 11, two Nov. 18 and the final two Nov. 25.
— The first season of “Blade Runner 2099,” from producer Ridley Scott and starring Michelle Yeoh (shown here). All eight episodes will arrive Nov. 25 … which is both Thanksgiving eve and the day “Rings of Power” wraps its season.
Both shows offered details today (July 24) at Comic-Con in San Diego. There was also casting news, including Yeoh (an Oscar-winner for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”) in “Blade Runner” and Simon Pegg (the “Shaun of the Dead” star and Scotty in three “Star Trek” films) as the voice of the previously silent Balrog in “Rings of Power.”
The AMC networks were also their with fantasy-show news:
— Emily Kinney will be back in the “Walking Dead” universe. Her character, Beth, shows up in “Walking Dead: Dead City” sometime this season, which starts at 9 p.m. Sunday (July 26) and centers on Beth’s half-sister, Maggie.
