There will be more adventures in Middle-earth’s Second Age. Prime Video announced Thursday that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been renewed for a third season.
The season 3 renewal was expected, with Prime Video reporting that the series has garnered over 170 million viewers worldwide.
The Rings of Power season 3 is in pre-production and will film at Shepperton Studios in the UK this spring.

Brändström and Hamri previously directed past episodes of The Rings of Power.
Season 3 will include a time jump.
