Season 3 of “Rings of Power” will take place five years after the events of Season 2. The Nine Rings of Men are being distributed by the Dark Lord, and his servants are spreading across all lands of Middle-earth as the Elves are forced to retreat on essentially every front.
Meanwhile, political intrigue has gripped the island of Númenor, where Ar-Pharazon is continuing his battle against the Faithful. And in the Dwarven kingdom of Khazad-dûm, Durin must decide how to deal with his older brother Thrain, who has fewer compunctions about siding with Sauron in his quest for domination.
