Star Trek and Spaced star Simon Pegg is voicing the previously-mute Balrog for the third season of Prime Video’s prequel The Rings of Power.

The ComicCon panel for the Lord of the Rings prequel also revealed:

A brand-new teaser trailer unveiled the darker tone and some epic moments from Season 3, as Sauron’s quest to forge the One Ring is fully underway, and his goal to control all of Middle-earth threatens every one of its realms, causing new, and sometimes uneasy alliances to be formed to try and stop him.

New characters for season 3 include Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) as Galadriel’s long-lost husband, “Celeborn,” and Zubin Varla (Andor) who plays “Khamûl the Easterling,” of Rhûn. Eddie Marsan (Happy-Go-Lucky) portraying King Durin IV’s older brother, “Thrain”. Andrew Richardson (Guys & Dolls) is playing Elendil’s younger son and Isildur’s brother, “Anarion”.  Adam Young (Don’t Breathe 2) will play “Marnûkh,” a mysterious Orc who may not be what he seems

In addition, The Rings of Power’s Hall H panel was interrupted midway by a surprise appearance of four menacing Nazgnagôl in full armor, who were awaiting Sauron’s command. Introduced this season, these entities are ring-servants of Sauron and are the earlier Second Age incarnation of the Nazgûl, also known as Ringwraiths, of the Third Age.

The first four episodes of Season 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on November 11, 2026.  Episodes 305 & 306 will be available to stream on November 18th, and the final two episodes of the season will be released on November 25th.

In Season 3, Middle-earth is 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. 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… 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…
