"Colbert stated that the film will adapt six early chapters from The Fellowship of the Ring, specifically 'Three is company' through 'Fog on the Barrow-downs,' which were not part of the first film."
"Colbert mentioned, 'I thought, 'Oh wait, maybe that could be its own story that could fit into the larger story.' He and his son worked on a framing device for the narrative."
"Warner Bros. released a synopsis stating, 'Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure.'"

Colbert expressed a desire to create a story that remains faithful to both the books and the previous films. The plot follows Frodo's friends retracing their adventure while Sam's daughter uncovers a hidden secret about the War of the Ring.
