Amazon Prime Video has officially announced that production on the highly anticipated third season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has wrapped. To celebrate, the platform has shared a new teaser featuring insightful interview snippets with cast members, alongside fresh behind-the-scenes footage.

New Characters and Speculations

In the teaser, introduction is made by Jamie Campbell Bower, known for his role as Vecna in Stranger Things, who joins the cast for Season 3 in an undisclosed character role. Bower's character was given the codename "Arlen" during filming and is depicted as a "handsome high-born knight."

While details are scarce, there's been speculation regarding his character. Potential theories suggest he may portray either the Elven warrior Glorfindel or Celeborn, Galadriel's lost love—hinted at in the Season 2 finale. According to Fellowshipoffans.com, it appears that Bower is indeed portraying a significant character from the lore, likely Celeborn.

This narrative arc will focus on Sauron’s quest to forge the One Ring, aiming to tip the balance of power in his favor and subsequently conquer all of Middle-earth.

In response to the fan enthusiasm, Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios, expressed excitement about the project's trajectory: "The creative team has an extraordinary vision of what’s to come with stories that have left us enchanted and enthralled."
