Key points

  • Season 3 premieres on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, only on Prime Video.
  • The eight episodes arrive in three drops: four, then two, then the final two.
  • The whole season is out by November 25.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power returns on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video. Amazon is releasing the eight-episode season in three batches over just over two weeks, so the full season is out before the end of November.
