The Rings of Power showrunner confirms they're planning more time jumps in future seasons

The Rings of Power season 3 shifts the narrative of the Lord of the Rings prequel five years ahead, beginning in the midst of battle between Sauron and the Elves. It's a choice that the show's creators, J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, have said allows them to start the story at a "tipping point", and one that will be followed in future seasons too.

When speaking to GamesRadar+ recently, we asked if this is something that they're planning to do again. "Yeah, very much so," says McKay. "I think from the very beginning, we aspired the show to compress the time that's in the books, but also to have significant jumps forward in time for characters to age, for kingdoms to rise or fall, and I think you know there will probably be some jumps in the future."

The original plan when the show was pitched was for it to run for five seasons. Rumors of work on a fourth season kicking off started circulating last year, but Amazon Studios has yet to confirm the news.

With season 3, this choice allowed them to drop the audience right into the story and continue the pace of the ending of season 2. "We really wanted to start at a running clip, and a great way to do that is to drop the audience into a situation where what they knew before is sort of in the past and doesn't help them; they have to chase the show a little bit," McKay explains.
