Fans are seemingly excited for Season 3, based on the reaction to the video. Instagram user alil490 commented, “Probably the best looking uruks I’ve seen! We appreciate that you went with prosthetics instead of just using CGI.” Another commenter, drewwinchester said, “The makeup is INCREDIBLE.” Another commenter stated what they would like to see in Season 3 as far as Uruks are concerned. “I hope to see neurodivergent orcs and traditional Uruk families,” commented icbfactory.
Season 3 Will Bring New Cast Members to Middle-earth
The Rings of Power comes from showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay and is set many, many years before the events of Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The show, which has an 84% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, covers the events of the Second Age, including the forging of the Rings by the Elven Smith, Celebrimbor. It also chronicles the rise to power of the Dark Lord Sauron, played by Charlie Vickers.
A premiere date for The Rings of Power Season 3 has not yet been revealed, but one of the show’s actors gave an update in September 2025. Robert Aramayo, who plays Elrond in the show, said at that time that filming was underway on Season 3 and planned to continue through the end of this year. “And then I’ll try and get a job fast,” Aramayo joked about what he will do after Season 3 finishes production.
