    renewal for its hit fantasy drama, which serves as a prequel to
    the original Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Production is
    expected to begin sometime this spring at Shepperton Studios in

      When is The Rings of Power Season 3 time skip?
    Amazon MGM Studios has also shared the official logline for
    Season 3, confirming that the next installment will feature a
    major time jump which will bring viewers at the height of the

Meh.
I'm ambivalent about this show's return. Not as ambivalent as about "Yellowjackets" (that show I'm very likely to not even watch season #3). But pretty damn ambivalent - what little the show gets right is very much overwhelmed by *everything* the show gets wrong (horribly so in at least one case). And maybe the best character from season #2 won't even make it to season #3... Calling this "fanfic" may actually be too kind.
But, I'll probably be back to watch, as season #2 was... somewhat of an improvement over season #1, and they might actually get to some interesting parts in season #3.
