The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will return for season three. We know the season will feature a time skip and take us right into the heart of war. Such an intense change to the setting and story means we’ll likely see a ton of new cast join in the fun of The Rings of Power season three. Prime Video has most recently revealed three new actors who will come aboard The Lord of the Rings series.
Here’s what we know about the new cast members coming aboard The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season three.
The Rings of Power Season 3 Adds 3 New Cast Members
The first new additions to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season three cast are three new actors. One of them will play a series regularly. The other two will appear in recurring roles.
Joining The Rings of Power season three as a regular cast member is Andrew Richardson, who is best known for his roles in theater to date, including Guys & Dolls, Uncle Vanya, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s hard to guess at who he might play given his background. Could he perhaps be Durin’s mysterious dwarven brother?
Joining The Rings of Power‘s season three cast in recurring roles are Zubin Varla and Adam Young. Varla also has a vast stage resume, and Young is best known for playing Jim-Bob in the horror movie, Don’t Breathe 2. We’re not sure about Varla, but Young has elven energy… or Sauron energy. It’s too soon to know exactly.
More About The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3
In addition to new cast announcements, here’s what know about The Rings of Power season three. The third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Justin Doble, Kate Hazell, and executive producer-director Charlotte Brändström. The third season of The Rings of Power recently began production.
The logline for The Rings of Power season three teases, “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 Middle-earth at last.“
The creators of the series further shared with Nerdist, “Sauron needs Celebrimbor’s expertise to forge the Rings. He cannot make them alone. It would be cheating for Sauron to all of a sudden be able to make a Ring. He’s on his own journey of craftsmanship, and without Celebrimbor, now having to make a Ring is a potentially really interesting challenge for him.”
This challenge will no doubt be the central focus on season three. But will these new The Rings of Power season three cast help or hinder Sauron? We’ll have to wait and see when the series returns. In the meantime, you can stream the first two The Rings of Power seasons on Prime Video.
