Everything about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will make a major time jump from the second season—check out the official synopsis: "Many years after the events of the second season, the third is set at the height of the war between the elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to forge the One Ring, which will give him the edge he needs to win the war and conquer Middle-earth".

Within the mythology created by J.R.R. Tolkien, the war of the elves against Sauron took place during the Second Age of Middle-earth, and it was the first major battle against the villain, played in The Rings of Power by Charlie Vickers. It is a battle that takes place before the confrontation seen in the prologue of The Lord of the Rings films.

In addition to Vickers, returning for the third season are also Morfydd Clark (Galadriel), Robert Aramayo (Elrond), Ismael Cruz Córdova (Arondir), Owain Arthur (Durin), Daniel Weyman (Gandalf), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Miriel), Trystan Gravelle (Pharazôn), and more. New additions to the cast include Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), in roles that have not yet been revealed.

Showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay, who have led the series since Season 1, remain in charge of The Rings of Power. Directors for the third season’s episodes will include Charlotte Brändström (Shōgun), Sanaa Hamri (The Wheel of Time) and Stefan Schwartz (The Boys).

Season 3 premieres on November 11, 2026.
