R. R. Tolkien's history of Middle-earth.After Amazon teased Sauron's return in the upcoming season, the showrunners have confirmed that the series' big bad will plunge Season 3 into a darker and more dangerous realm after forging the One Ring in the volcano.As fans would remember, the showrunners adopted a smart and meta strategy to conceal Charlie Vickers' identity as Sauron, who was introduced as the human Halbrand and the Elf Annatar, the "Lord of Gifts''. It was only after Sauron, disguised as Halbrand, helped the Elven-smiths of Eregion forge the other Rings of Power and deceived the people of Middle-earth, that the showrunners revealed his true identity, concluding Season 1 on a high note.However, Sauron is no longer in disguise and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Season 3 will explore the height of his powers.Naturally, the One Ring, designed to enslave Middle-earth by controlling all the other Rings of Power, is Sauron's ultimate weapon, which binds the minds of anyone wearing the other 19 rings to his absolute will. This central event will shift the narrative tone of the upcoming season, transforming Sauron's psychological manipulation into open & apocalyptic warfare.What have the showrunners said about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Season 3? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn his interview with Empire, Patrick McKay teased a darker and grander season ahead:“The first two seasons were all about building out this world. But throughout that time, we’re lighting all these fuses and setting all these stories in motion. The third season is when all those bombs are starting to explode.”Additionally, Charlie Vickers expressed excitement about the most important sequence in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Season 3, revealing that he 'cried' the first day he walked onto the set. Based on the actor's comments, the upcoming sequence appears to lean into a meta moment, with the filming process itself matching the epic scale of the One Ring's creation in Tolkien's universe.In addition to Vickers, the upcoming season stars Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Míriel, Trystan Gravelle as Pharazôn, Robert Aramayo as Elrond, Lloyd Owen as Elendil, Daniel Weyman as Gandalf, Ismael Cruz Córdova as Arondir and many more.The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Season 3 will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on November 11.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
