According to Screenrant, Patrick McKay (Flash Gordon) stated in an interview with Collider, “We’re really excited about that. We’ve never seen deserts on screen in Middle-earth, and we’re really excited to go there. We think deserts are beautiful and awesome and we’re doing our own Tolkienien Lawrence of Arabia.”
McKay continues“One of the things that’s been fun about that is Rhûn is really a blank canvas. There are little hints. There’s talk about magic cults, and talk about the stars being strange, and rumors of wizards having adventures in Rhûn that may or may not have gone well.

McKay added, “It’s been really fun trying to imagine that world, what the people in it are like, what the architecture is like, what kind of a desert. We just spent five weeks shooting in a far-flung overseas location for spectacular vistas, and it’s really cool.”
The series writer,J.D. Payne (Flash Gordon) commented, “There’s something I find very magical as a viewer when I see Nori and The Stranger together. Putting them on a journey where they’re very far from home felt really delicious and exciting. Hopefully everybody agrees.”
