LONDON — October 22, 2026 — Prime Video announced the full trailer for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 3 on Oct. 21, with four episodes arriving Nov. 11 as Sauron moves to forge the One Ring.
The footage lands three weeks before launch and builds toward the forging of the One Ring, which pulls the series closer to the events of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” It also marks a pivotal return for Amazon’s flagship fantasy series, which is still slated for a five-season run.
“…the scale, ambition, and cinematic storytelling that define Prime Video’s biggest global series,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television at Amazon MGM Studios, when the premiere date was confirmed in May.
What the Trailer Shows
The footage picks up five years after Season 2, with Charlie Vickers’ Sauron in his armored form and his army spreading across Middle-earth.
In the trailer, Sauron says, “I will take my place as the conqueror.”
Prime Video’s synopsis says Gandalf emerges as the wizard of lore, while Galadriel continues her path toward becoming the Lady of Lothlórien.

Episodes 305 and 306 follow on Nov. 18, and the final two episodes arrive Nov. 25.
All 16 episodes of the first two seasons are available to stream on Prime Video now.
Why the Return Matters
