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.

Upper West Side double stabbing suspect facing hate crime charges

▶ Watch Video: CBS News New York The suspect in Thursday's double stabbing on New York City's Upper West Side has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, among other things.The two stabbing victims come from two different communities that share a belief that something must change to keep people safe.Charges in NYC double stabbingRaul Morales, 51, has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, assault as a hate crime, and criminal possession of a weapon for the attack on Moshe Grunhaus, a 50-year-old Jewish man, police say.For the attack on a 57-year-old Asian man, police say Morales has also been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, along with attempted murder and assault – but not as a hate crime for this instance.Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the suspect allegedly yelled "Allahu Akbar" during both attacks.  Morales barricaded himself inside a nearby apartment after the attacks, according to authorities. On Friday, detectives were seen going in and out of that building, carrying evidence bags filled with books, including a Che Guevara book and the Quran.Morales has no known mental health history with the NYPD, but Tisch says the initial investigation suggests mental health may have been a factor.Both victims are expected to survive.   "It can't go on like this"Rabbi Yosie Levine, of the Jewish Center, said he has known Grunhaus for the past decade, and that he is devoted to the Jewish community.Levine said Grunhaus had been praying at his synagogue Thursday moments before he was stabbed."Moshe had just gotten up to leave at around 1:30 after having spent the whole morning and beginning of the afternoon with us, and for this to happen 200 feet from our synagogue is just, it's almost hard to believe," he said.Levine visited Grunhaus at the hospital Friday morning."I was happy to see him. I was very relieved to see him alert and in relatively good spirits, all things considered," Levine said. "He was surrounded by good friends and family."He added, "I would say in the 22 years that I've been serving as a rabbi in this community, I never visited with a stab victim in the hospital, and I never visited with a victim of a hate crime in the hospital ... There's a real person whose whole life is turned upside down because of this. It can't go on like this. It's intolerable."The rabbi said Grunhaus recently moved to Florida and was just back in town for a couple days to tie up loose ends when this happened.
