Who’s back — and who’s new — in Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power season 3?
Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is packing a star-studded cast—find out who’s on the call sheet.
The new season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power lands with a binge-friendly splash: Prime Video will drop the first four episodes together, followed by the rest across the next two Wednesdays. It ’s an eight-episode run built around the war Season 2 set in motion, with Sauron on the move and alliances across Middle-earth bracing for impact.
Four episodes arrive November 11 on Prime Video, with the remaining four rolling out November 18 and November 25.
Season 3 follows the 2024 run that ended with the table set for open conflict. Expect the Elves, Dwarves and their allies to converge as Sauron tightens his hold. New additions point to a darker turn: a Balrog will roar back to life (with Simon Pegg voicing the beast), and Khamûl—one of the Nazgûl—enters the fray.
