The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 teaser trailer has arrived.

Prime Video released the new trailer for the upcoming third season on Friday. It debuted during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con for the fantasy series.

Appearing on the panel were showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, as well as cast members Benjamin Walker, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Owain Arthur, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Charlie Vickers and Daniel Weyman. Season 3 newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower also participated in the panel.

Season 3 finds Middle-earth at war. “Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all 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 mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings,” according to the season’s official description.

“But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: One Ring to rule them all,” the description continues. “Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards alike – must find a way to come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life.”

The panel also revealed that Simon Pegg will take on the voice of the Balrog.

The first four episodes of season 3 are set to premiere on Nov. 11. They are followed by episodes five and six premiering on Nov. 18 and the final two episodes dropping on Nov. 25.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s fixer-turned-nemesis, says he’ll interview former boss

▶ Watch Video: Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen says he would be "a test case" for DOJ "anti-weaponization" fund Michael Cohen's long and winding relationship with his former boss, President Trump, is poised to take another unexpected turn Thursday when the man he testified against in two separate trials calls into his radio show.Cohen told CBS News that he is set to interview the president on his program, confirming a report from MS NOW. "This is the first public conversation between the president and myself in eight years," said Cohen. "You know, there have been private conversations that have, of course, been reported. But this is the first public conversation."Cohen spent more than a decade as Mr. Trump's "fixer," his right-hand man, intimately involved in the Trump Organization's dealmaking and Mr. Trump's private matters."I was a permanent fixture in his office, most specifically the far-right red velvet chair," Cohen said Wednesday. But the relationship fell apart during Mr. Trump's first years in the White House, as scrutiny mounted over a $130,000 payment Cohen made on Mr. Trump's behalf to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to financial and campaign finance crimes and lying to Congress, and spent more than a year in prison. He later built a podcast and book career devoted to harsh criticism of Mr. Trump."I truly f**king hope that this man ends up in prison," Cohen said at one point. "You better believe I want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to my family."Cohen testified against Mr. Trump in his civil and criminal trials in New York, helping to get Mr. Trump convicted of 34 felony counts of falsification of business records tied to the Daniels matter.But Cohen appears to have had a change of heart this year, writing in his Substack newsletter in January that he "felt pressured and coerced" by prosecutors to testify against Mr. Trump.The rift between them may be on the mend."I reached out to the White House, reached out to the president, and he kindly agreed," Cohen said, referring to his radio invitation.Cohen said the call is being recorded Thursday morning, and will air in parts on that evening and Sunday on his radio show "When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen" on New York's 770am WABC station.
