The third season of the American fantasy television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is based on J. R. R. Tolkien's history of Middle-earth, primarily material from the appendices of the novel The Lord of the Rings (1954–55). Set thousands of years before the novel in Middle-earth's Second Age, the season takes place five years after the second season at the height of the war between the Elves and the Dark Lord Sauron. It depicts the latter's efforts to create the One Ring, which will give him the power to win the war and conquer all of Middle-earth. The season is produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with New Line Cinema and with J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay as showrunners.
Amazon acquired the television rights to The Lord of the Rings in November 2017 and made a multi-season commitment for a new series. A third season was being written by October 2024, and it was officially confirmed in February 2025. Filming took place in the United Kingdom, beginning by mid-May and wrapping by mid-December. Charlotte Brändström, Sanaa Hamri, and Stefan Schwartz directed episodes.
The season is set to premiere on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on November 11, 2026, with its first four episodes. The next two episodes will be released on November 18 and the final two on November 25.
