The makers of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have renewed the show for a fourth season. Additionally, they have also announced the premiere date of the eagerly awaited third season of the epic fantasy series.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s rich history of Middle-earth, drawing primarily from the appendices of The Lord of the Rings. It brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and takes viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
The series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth.
Jumping forward several years from the events of Season Two, Season Three takes place at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to craft the One Ring that will give him the edge he needs to win the war, bind all peoples to his will – and at last rule all Middle-earth.
Season Three of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Justin Doble, Kate Hazell, and executive producer-director Charlotte Brandstrom. Matthew Penry-Davey is the producer, and Ally O’Leary, Tim Keene, and Andrew Lee are co-producers. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
The third season will be released on Amazon Prime Video on November 11, 2026.
