The Rings of Power has been confirmed for a third season, set to begin shooting this spring. Despite a dip in viewership relative to its first season, it remains one of Prime Video's most-watched shows, leading to a greenlight for the next chapter. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay plan to accelerate the storyline, jumping forward in time to delve deeper into the War of the Elves and Sauron, culminating in Sauron's eventual defeat at Mount Doom. This strategic leap aims to eliminate filler and focus on pivotal moments in the conflict.
The Rings of Power will return for a third season, confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, and it will begin shooting this spring at Shepperton Studios in the UK.
Jumping forward in time, season 3 is set to take place at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, focusing on important story and character moments.
The confirmed continuation of The Rings of Power comes after its viewership ratings, despite being below season 1's, remain among the best on Prime Video.
With the story arc reaching Sauron's defeat at Mount Doom, the showrunners look to condense the narrative as they progress towards a climatic conclusion.
