Everything you need to know 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 Season 2, Season 3 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 Middle-earth’s Second Age and was the first great 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 Morfydd Clark (Galadriel), Robert Aramayo (Elrond), Ismael Cruz Córdova (Arondir), Owain Arthur (Durin), Daniel Weyman (Gandalf), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Míriel), 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 its first season, remain in charge of The Rings of Power. Episodes in the third season will be directed by names such as Charlotte Brändström (Shōgun), Sanaa Hamri (The Wheel of Time) and Stefan Schwartz (The Boys).

Season 3 premieres on November 11, 2026.
