GoKawiilThe third season of Prime Video's Lord of the Rings prequel has its release date. The Rings of Power is keeping its 2-year cadence -- the first season hit Amazon's streaming service in 2022, with the second season following in 2024 -- with the third season arriving on Prime Video on Nov. 11.
Announced ahead of Amazon Upfront on Monday, Season 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has a time jump of "several years" from the second season, Prime Video confirmed, and will take place "at the height of the war of the elves and Sauron" as the One Ring is crafted.
Set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Prime Video's original series takes place during the Second Age of Middle-earth.
Alongside the announcement, Amazon shared only a picture of Sauron's profile, standing in shadows in front of a gate.
According to Prime Video, The Rings of Power has been viewed 185 million times worldwide and is "one of Amazon's strongest drivers for new Prime membership signups."
"From the very beginning, this series has embodied the scale, ambition, and cinematic storytelling that define Prime Video's biggest global series," Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, said in a press release. "This journey through Middle-earth continues to resonate, and that momentum has only grown."
