The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is preparing to return for its third season on Prime Video. The fantasy series serves as a prequel to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and is therefore set thousands of years before Frodo ever left the Shire with the One Ring. So far, Rings of Power has detailed how the Dark Lord Sauron gained power after his master, Morgoth, fell during the First Age of Middle-earth. Thousands of years later, he sets to work creating the legendary weapons that would help him keep it—the titular rings.
In previous years, Prime Video followed a traditional release schedule for new episodes of The Rings of Power. Episodes were generally released weekly on the streaming platform, so a season spanned multiple months. This time around, however, things are being done differently. The Rings of Power season 3 will be released on Prime Video in three batches, all of which will be available to stream by the end of November.
Rings of Power‘s premiere will consist of four episodes, all released on November 11, 2026. Then, two additional episodes will hit the platform on November 18, 2026, with the final two releasing on November 25, 2026. All within three weeks, the third installment of this fantasy TV series will be all wrapped up.
The Rings Of Power Season 3, Episodes 1-4 Begin Streaming At 3:00 AM (ET) & 12:00 AM (PT) On November 11th

You won’t have to wait long to watch the first four episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 on Wednesday, November 11th, since they will all drop at precisely 12:00 AM Pacific Time and 3:00 AM Eastern Time. Prime Video subscribers will then be able to binge the first half of season 3 at their own pace before the next two episodes arrive exactly a week later, on the next Wednesday, and so on.
What To Expect From The Rings Of Power Season 3
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 is when things are really supposed to be kicked up a notch, which is precisely why Prime Video has adopted a binge-centered release model. In season 2, The Dark Lord Sauron finally crafted the dreaded Rings of Power that we know he will use to control the masses of Middle-earth. In season 3, it’s confirmed that he will begin handing out the rest of these. This will give viewers a chance to see, for the first time, which mortal men are doomed to become Sauron’s nine Ringwraiths.

Even more exciting than this, however, is the confirmation that Rings of Power season 3 will be when Sauron finally crafts his One Ring to Rule Them All. This is the weapon that stands at the very center of the wider Lord of the Rings franchise, and its creation remains shrouded in mystery. Never before has this event from Tolkien’s legendarium been portrayed on screen, so whether it happens in season 3’s first four episodes or not, it gives viewers something to look forward to.
Finally, Rings of Power season 3 is when the world of Middle-earth might begin to feel a bit more like what Lord of the Rings audiences are familiar with. That period of temporary peace has come to a definitive close, and, after a five-year time jump, Rings of Power season 3 will find its characters in the midst of the terrible War of the Elves and Sauron. We can expect epic battles and desperate, heroic maneuvers as plentiful as what we find in the Third Age. It will start with those first four episodes this very week of November, and by the holidays, you’ll know how this stage in the adventure ends.
