J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s The Lord of the Rings not only provided the inspiration for Peter Jackson\u2019s Academy Award-winning trilogy, but it also inspired Amazon Prime Video\u2019s epic series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.<\/a> Following a disappointing Season 3 update, The Rings of Power is teasing fans with an all-new sneak peek.<\/p>\n

The official Rings of Power X and Instagram accounts both posted a 26-second video titled: \u201cThe Sword of the Faithful.\u201d The clip, posted to social media on Sept. 10, has more than 21,000 likes on Instagram and more than 409,000 views on X.<\/p>\n

In the short teaser, fans get an out-of-focus first glimpse of Elendil (Lloyd Owen) as he brandishes the \u201cSword of the Faithful.\u201d Lord of the Rings fans will see that the sword is seemingly Narsil, the famous weapon that cut the One Ring from Sauron\u2019s hand. Narsil was wielded by King Elendil during the War of the Last Alliance and later by Elendil\u2019s son, Isildur, to cut the ring off of Sauron\u2019s hand. Fans may also recall that Isildur is an ancestor of the heroic Aragorn.<\/p>\n

The video clip ends with the words: \u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 Sneak Peeks,\u201d alluding to the possibility that more of these types of sneak peeks may be coming in the future.<\/p>\n

Fans commenting on The Rings of Power’s Instagram post had mainly good things to say. \u201cYES, Amazon! This! Just a snippet, but exactly right! Goosebumps, a good snippet to choose, and giving some love to the show!\u201d wrote Instagram user breecrossroads. Another account, woods_of_lothlorien wrote, \u201c\u2018Sauron will not have forgotten the sword of Elendil. The blade that was broken and shall return to Minas Tirith!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The 26-second teaser comes just days after The Rings of Power received a disappointing production update from one of its stars. <\/a>Per Deadline<\/a>, Robert Aramayo, who portrays Elrond in the fantasy series, said that filming on The Rings of Power Season 3 is now underway. Production on Season 3, like Season 2, is happening in London, while Season 1 was filmed in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Aramayo, who is starring in the new film, I Swear, in which he portrays a man with Tourette\u2019s Syndrome, said that filming on The Rings of Power Season 3 is set to keep him busy until the end of 2025. He then laughed, saying, \u201cAnd then I\u2019ll try and get a job fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Could Fans See New Episodes of The Rings of Power?<\/p>\n

Production on the first season of The Rings of Power began in 2020, but was quickly paused because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While filming on Season 1 started up again that September, it did not wrap until August 2021. Season 2 then began filming in the U.K. in October 2022 and concluded in June 2023.<\/p>\n

However, the release time between the end of production on Season 2 and its Prime Video debut was nearly a year. Season 2 premiered in August 2024, and the finale aired in October 2024.<\/a> Taking into account production times on previous seasons, fans are unlikely to see new episodes of The Rings of Power in 2026, although there has been no official announcement on when Season 3 will debut on the streamer.<\/p>\n

Before Aramayo\u2019s confirmation that Season 3 is filming, the last update regarding The Rings of Power came back in June 2025.<\/a> At that time, three new cast members were announced for Season 3. The new faces include: Andrew Richardson (Extrapolations), Zubin Varla (Andor<\/a>), and Adam Young (The Witcher: Blood Origins). Richardson is set to be a new series regular with Varla and Young in recurring roles. Details on the exact characters they will be playing have not been released.<\/p>\n

One thing that is known about The Rings of Power Season 3<\/a> is that there will be a significant time jump. The official logline for the upcoming season reads: \u201cJumping 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
