Prime Video also released the official synopsis for the new season, “In season three, Middle Earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the world, conquering everything in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory: Khazad-dûm, where the dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountains, and the elven kingdoms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings. But deep in the land of Mordor, in his recently completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord works day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: a ring to rule them all… Now all the free peoples of Middle-earth—dwarves, elves, men, and wizards—must find a race to rally against Sauron in a time to achieve his goal of mastering all life…”The new season brings the story closer to The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, with Payne and McKay’s sprawling saga now reaching the midpoint of its planned five seasons.
