The Rings of Power season 3 trailer has been unveiled, revealing a number of new cast members joining the fantasy series.
Following the previously announced casting of Jamie Campbell Bower as Celeborn, the Elf Lord and missing husband of Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Simon Pegg joins as the voice of the Balrog, a hulking magma monster that helps Sauron forge the One Ring.
The teaser trailer has hinted at the impending doom awaiting the heroes and warriors of Middle-earth, with Sauron’s voice heard saying: “Now, is the mighty hour as come”, before cutting to Galadriel as she dances with Celeborn.
In another part of the trailer, an orc tells Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova) that the Dark Lord “is on the brink of crafting … one ring to rule them all”, something the warriors of Middle-earth have long feared.
The trailer also offers a closer look at the previously announced Eddie Marsan as Thrain of Dwarven royalty, Andrew Richardson as Anarion, a king of Gondor, Zubin Varla as a Ringwraith, and Adam Young as an original character named Marnûkh.

It has been confirmed that season 3 will feature a time jump and will take 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,” as teased by the synopsis.
The third season of the Lord of the Rings prequel will return on Wednesday 11 November, almost two years after season 2 was released on Prime Video.
“From the very beginning, this series has embodied 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, in a statement.
He added: “The extraordinary response from millions of fans around the world has made it clear that this journey through Middle-earth continues to resonate, and that momentum has only grown heading into Season 3.”
The Rings of Power season 3 will arrive on 11 November. Seasons 1-2 are available to watch on Prime Video – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.
