MTV heads to New Zealand to give a behind the scenes video tour of The Shannara Chronicles.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy may have put New Zealand on the map, but they certainly don’t own the rights to the sprawling landscapes or incredible views. The Shannara Chronicles is certainly taking advantage of that.

In a video released today we get a good look at the backdrop New Zealand has to offer, along with some commentary from the cast about their experience of working on set. You can check it out below:

We still have a bit of a wait before The Shannara Chronicles debuts on MTV next year. The network announced that the show would premiere sometime in January 2016, but the exact time or date is still unknown.

Anticipation for the fantasy drama has quickly been building since the release of its teaser video both online and at San Diego Comic-Con.

In both videos it’s easy to see that the scale of the project looks absolutely immense. Plus, the visual effects alone should be enough to quiet any fears some may have had about MTV adapting this project.
