Prime Video has finally released the official trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3, two years after the previous installment. The upcoming season will focus on Sauron‘s quest to forge the One Ring, set five years after Season 2. The series has been building toward this moment, with Middle-earth now engulfed in war.
The Rings of Power Season 3 will see Sauron’s army, including the Nazgnagôl, marching and conquering much of the world. Thwarting the Dark Lord will require the collective power of the remaining free peoples of Middle-Earth. This includes the Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards. The series adapts the Second Age of Middle-earth’s history, drawing on J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings.
