The fantasy epic, described as a $1 billion Prime Video project, is set to return next November as Charlie Vickers’ Sauron prepares to form the One Ring and plunge Middle-earth into darkness.

Prime Video also released the official synopsis for the new season, “In Season 3, Middle-earth is at war.
It has been five years since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies marched across the world, conquering everything in their path. Only a few isolated enclaves stand between the Dark Lord and complete victory – Khazad-dum, where the dwarves are now locked deep in their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, protected by their Three Rings.
But deep in the land of Mordor, in the newly completed Tower of Barad-dur, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing the power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: one ring to rule them all… Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – dwarves, elves, men, and wizards alike – must find a way to work together, in a race against time to stop Sauron from achieving his goal. Of absolute control over all of life…”The new season pushes the story closer to The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, with Payne and McKay’s sprawling saga now reaching the halfway point of its planned five-season run.
