Today we share some LOTR show Dwarven rumors. Specifically some Barside Buzz from insider Fellowship of Fans, who has been the only outlet getting much LOTR show leaks so far. There’s nothing I would consider high on the SPOILER alert here. However as always that depends upon your own spoiler meter. So if you want to know nothing at all about this show other than official information? Check out before going past the image below.
Here is a list of LOTR show Dwarven rumors from FoF.
EXCLUSIVE: There will be a 'King Durin' in the show who is also a father and has a son called 'Durin' as well.

EXCLUSIVE: The Dwarven Queen sings a "sad lament with noble dwarves holding fire filled vessels to commemorate the dead" from the cave collapse where many Dwarves died (previous dead).
These scenes were directed by J.A Bayona which means they are from the first pilot 2 episodes

The fact that Dwarves will be present in the show is pretty much a given considering the era being explored. At this point the Dwarves’ still had many large kingdoms including Moria at it’s peak. Also given the nature of Dwarven history it would have seemed odd to not have their leader, or at least one of their leaders be known as Durin. As for Dwarven females? Well, of course they kinda made fun of them in The Two Towers movie, but as yet we have never seen Dwarven women on screen, or really have much to describe them to us from Tolkien’s books. For example. the beard joke in The Two Towers is artistic license. Tolkien never stated they had beards.

Here is what Tolkien did say, that only a third of the population were female, so they generally stayed in their most secure places. It’s also why so little Dwarven men ever marry. However, he also said when they do travel, they look so much like male Dwarves that people can’t tell them apart. However, for me, that’s easy enough to play with. All female Dwarves disguise themselves as no different form the men when they travel to protect them. There you go.
I guess what I’m saying is, that this choice makes sense logically for the show. However, it’s also a huge risk to take in terms of the design choices. I don’t think we need to see bearded women that are less feminine than some of the male Dwarves in The Hobbit. I’m therefore very pleased that Dwarven women are not going to have beards in this.
