TV & Film

Feb 14

Amazon announced its return to Middle-earth when The Rings of Power returns for its third season. The show is currently in pre-production at the new Shepperton Studios in the United Kingdom. Charlotte Brandstrom and Sanaa Hamri will return to direct, with newcomer Stefan Schwartz joining the team this season. The third season will feature a massive time jump and will focus on the creation of the One Ring. According to the official logline, “Jumping forward several years from the events of season 2, season 3 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 and conquer all Middle-earth at last.” This War of the Elves took place just before the flashbacks that open Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM studios, promised exciting things this season. He explained, “The creative team has an extraordinary vision of what’s to come with stories that have left us enchanted and enthralled. We look forward to continuing this epic journey, for our global customers, delving even deeper into the legendary tales that shaped Middle-earth.” The creation of the One Ring was a selling point for the series, so perhaps the new focus can draw more viewers. No release date has been set yet.
