Prime Video today announced that Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) have officially joined the cast of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for the series’ upcoming third season. Bower will be a series regular, while Marsan will appear in a recurring role.
Season 3 is currently in pre-production and will begin filming this spring at the series’ new production home at Shepperton Studios in the UK.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Season 2 premiered on August 29, 2024, and followed Sauron as he manipulated events as Annatar, the “Lord of Gifts” while Galadriel uncovered the truth about Annatar and his workings with Celebrimbor.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been an unprecedented success, with a broad, highly engaged, global fan base. Critics have praised the series for its epic scope and production values, and Seasons One and Two are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Season One remains the biggest TV premiere in the history of Prime Video and Season Two the most-watched returning season by hours watched.
Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Prime Video.
