Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power returns with Season 3 today, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026. The Prime Video prequel series set in Tolkien’s Second Age premieres exclusively on Prime Video with a multi-episode debut.

Episodes 1–4 are available Nov. 11. Episodes 5–6 follow Nov. 18, and the season concludes Nov. 25 with its final two episodes, all on Prime Video.

How is Season 3 being released on Prime Video?

Prime Video is rolling out The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 in three drops across November. The season begins with four episodes on Wednesday, Nov. 11. One week later, on Wednesday, Nov. 18, two more episodes arrive. The rollout concludes on Wednesday, Nov. 25 with the final two episodes.

This 4–2–2 pattern gives viewers a substantial opening day of four episodes, followed by a pair the next week and a two-episode finale the week after. All of it streams exclusively on Prime Video. The structure is clearly defined by date and episode group, helping anyone planning their viewing track when each set becomes available.

The cadence also means every new installment lands on a Wednesday in November. If you plan your viewing around those dates—Nov. 11, Nov. 18, and Nov. 25—you will see the entire season as it becomes available on Prime Video.

How many episodes can you watch on day one?

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, Prime Video is making Episodes 1–4 of Season 3 available. That’s a four-episode opening slate. Viewers who want an early jump into the new season can start with those four installments as soon as they appear on the service.

A week later, Episodes 5–6 arrive on Nov. 18, extending the story by two more entries. The season then ends with its final two episodes on Nov. 25. Together, those three dates outline the complete November release plan for Season 3.

Where can you stream The Rings of Power Season 3?

Season 3 streams exclusively on Prime Video. There is no separate U.S. linear-TV listing to look for; the series is a Prime Video title and premieres on the service.

If you watch on Prime Video, the Season 3 premiere day provides four episodes, then two episodes the following Wednesday, and a final two-episode drop the Wednesday after that. The entire rollout takes place on Prime Video.

What is The Rings of Power?

Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is a Prime Video prequel series set in Tolkien’s Second Age, long before The Lord of the Rings films. That framing places it earlier on the timeline of Tolkien’s legendarium than the events many moviegoers know from the film trilogy.

The Second Age setting and prequel status define the series within the broader on-screen adaptations of Tolkien’s work. Season 3 continues that prequel series on Prime Video, following the streaming schedule Prime Video has announced for November.

What dates should you mark in November?

There are three dates to track for Season 3 on Prime Video:

Wednesday, Nov. 11: Episodes 1–4
Wednesday, Nov. 18: Episodes 5–6
Wednesday, Nov. 25: Final two episodes

These three consecutive Wednesdays carry the entire Season 3 rollout. If you begin on Nov. 11, you can watch four episodes right away. If you return on Nov. 18, you will find Episodes 5 and 6. The final two episodes arrive Nov. 25, completing the season’s November schedule on Prime Video.

For viewers who prefer to space out viewing, the week-by-week approach fits the schedule exactly. For those who prefer to wait, Nov. 25 is the day that the season’s final two episodes become available on Prime Video, concluding the planned rollout.

How does the staggered schedule shape viewing?

A three-date release concentrates attention on specific Wednesdays—Nov. 11, Nov. 18, and Nov. 25—while making the premiere week especially full with four episodes. That structure is clear and predictable: a large opening, a mid-month pair, and a two-episode finish. Because each drop is identified by both date and episode grouping, viewers can decide whether to watch immediately on each Wednesday or wait until all of the season’s planned episodes are available by Nov. 25.

This approach offers two straightforward paths. One is to watch the opening four episodes starting Nov. 11 and then return on the next two Wednesdays for the remaining releases. The other is to hold off and begin on Nov. 25, when the season’s final two episodes join the earlier installments on Prime Video. Either way, the schedule remains the same and exclusively tied to Prime Video.

How to track the rollout across November

The easiest way to track Season 3 is by noting the Wednesday release pattern and the exact dates. The initial release window—Nov. 11—covers Episodes 1–4. The second week—Nov. 18—covers Episodes 5–6. The third and final week—Nov. 25—covers the final two episodes. That three-part outline defines when each portion of the season arrives on Prime Video.

If you start on the premiere date, you will have four episodes ready to stream. If you return seven days later, two more episodes will be there. Seven days after that, the final two episodes complete the rollout. Each step is announced by date and episode range, making it easy to follow without additional details beyond Prime Video’s schedule.

What’s next

The season’s release plan wraps on Wednesday, Nov. 25, when the final two episodes debut on Prime Video. At that point, the season completes its November rollout, and all released Season 3 episodes will be available to stream on the service.

Until then, the schedule is straightforward: Episodes 1–4 on Nov. 11, Episodes 5–6 on Nov. 18, and the final two on Nov. 25. Viewers who want to watch as soon as episodes arrive can follow those dates; viewers who want to see the season after the rollout finishes can begin on Nov. 25.

Prime Video remains the exclusive streaming destination for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Season 3’s November schedule provides clarity on when each episode group lands and where to find them.
