Rings of Power Season 3 Adds Witch King Rumor

Production for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 has officially begun, featuring a major focus on Sauron's transformation and his iconic crown, signaling his rise in power. The season is set several years after Season 2, during the War of the Elves and Sauron, as he works to forge the One Ring and conquer Middle-earth. Jamie Campbell Bower has joined the cast, rumored to play the Witch King, though his role is unconfirmed. The series continues to draw from Tolkien's appendices, rather than The Silmarillion, which allows for creative reinterpretations of characters and artifacts, including Morgoth's Iron Crown. Extensive special effects and new locations may push the release as late as 2027. Season 3 aims to deliver the most dramatic and action-packed story yet, with the elves rallying against Sauron's forces.
