‘We’re working on it’: Season 3 of The Rings of Power hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the creators of the Prime Video series have an update on its development

The Rings of Power Season 2 isn’t out yet, but thoughts are already being given to the next chapter of the popular Amazon high fantasy series.

It’s true that the next episode of the hugely successful Prime Video series won’t be released until Thursday, August 29, but rumor has it that Amazon has all but confirmed the release date. The Rings of Power Season 3 is underway and it seems all parties are making plans to return to Middle-earth.

So when I sat down with showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay ahead of The Rings of Power‘s second season, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try to get an answer out of them. And when I say “try,” I really mean it, because neither Payne nor McKay wanted to give away too much.

When asked if they could say whether Season 3 was actually happening, or if they had already hinted at what storylines they wanted to tackle next, McKay, with a hint of mischief, simply said, “We’re working on it [and] that’s all we can say.”
