The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is almost back, and we’ve got the complete Season 3 episode release schedule!

Prime Video released a new trailer on Wednesday (October 21), giving fans another look at Sauron’s plans to take control of Middle-earth.

The fantasy series returns on Wednesday, November 11, with four episodes available on premiere day.

Unlike the show’s previous weekly release pattern, the eight-episode third season will be released across just three Wednesdays.

Here’s when every episode comes out and what to expect from the new season.

What Happens in The Rings of Power Season 3?

Season 3 picks up five years after the fall of Eregion, with Sauron (Charlie Vickers) and his armies taking control of much of Middle-earth.

Here’s the official description, via Prime Video:

In Season Three, Middle-earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory – Khazad-dûm, where the Dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings. But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a 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 come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life…
