Prime Video<\/a> has set The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3<\/a> for November 11, 2026<\/strong>. This time, it\u2019s bringing in Marn\u00fbkh, Adam Young\u2019s new \u201cOrc with an arc,\u201d along with a five-year jump that moves the story into Sauron\u2019s open war, the forging of the One Ring, and the early formation of the Nazg\u00fbl.<\/p>\n

In episode 2, you\u2019ll reportedly see Marn\u00fbkh lead<\/strong> Galadriel and Arondir to the Orc prison of Gundabad to rescue an elven smith, and if he survives, that could interfere with Sauron\u2019s plan. It also pushes The Rings of Power past where seasons 1 and 2 had gone. Adar had already hinted that Orcs might be more than faceless extensions of evil; now the show is giving you a named Orc with agency, a personal story, and maybe some real moral complexity, right in the middle of a debate Tolkien readers know well.<\/p>\n\n

If you want a different angle on Middle-earth, this season looks worth your time, even if the audience numbers are still up for argument. Season 1 reportedly debuted with 25 million viewers<\/strong>, while season 2 reportedly saw some drop-off, even as Amazon said it reached more than 55 million viewers and Nielsen reported a strong debut week in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n

You\u2019ll be able to watch the eight-episode season<\/strong> on Prime Video, with four episodes available at launch and the remaining four released in batches over the next three weeks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
