The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set to return for a third season. The show is currently in pre-production and will film in the U.K. Fans of the series can expect a time jump since the events of Season 2, which aired in October.

The official synopsis of the show reads: "Jumping forward several years from the events of Season 2, Season 3 takes 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 of Middle-earth at last."
