Today during Amazon’s annual Upfront presentation, Prime Video confirmed that the eagerly awaited third season of epic fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, will premiere on November 11, 2026. The globally successful and award-winning series, which has attracted over 185 million viewers worldwide, continues to be one of Amazon’s strongest drivers for new Prime membership sign-ups.

“From the very beginning, this series has embodied the scale, ambition, and cinematic storytelling that define Prime Video’s biggest global series,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “The extraordinary response from millions of fans around the world has made it clear that this journey through Middle-earth continues to resonate, and that momentum has only grown heading into Season Three.”

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is one of the highest performing and most-viewed titles ever on Prime Video, with a broad, highly engaged, global fan base. Critics have praised the series for its epic scope and production values, and Seasons One and Two are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Through their respective 91 day post premiere launch windows and ranked by viewers, Season One remains the biggest TV series premiere in the history of Prime Video, and Season Two is among the Top 5 most-watched returning seasons ever. Season Two debuted as the #1 Original Series on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 Chart and remained in the top 4 throughout its entire run.

The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and takes viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. The series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

Jumping forward several years from the events of Season Two, Season Three takes place at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to craft the One Ring that will give him the edge he needs to win the war, bind all peoples to his will – and at last rule all Middle-earth.

Season Three of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Justin Doble, Kate Hazell, and executive producer-director Charlotte Brandstrom. Matthew Penry-Davey is producer and Ally O’Leary, Tim Keene, and Andrew Lee are co-producers. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

All episodes of the first two seasons of the series are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories in multiple languages.

In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, Chatime and acclaimed chef Eva Chin of Yan Dining Room are coming together for Steeped in Craft: An Evening with Chef Eva Chin x Chatime — a one-night-only dining experience exploring tea beyond the cup.

Taking place on May 28, 2026 at Yan Dining Room, the intimate 26-seat tasting experience will feature a multi-course menu developed by Chef Eva Chin that incorporates Chatime’s teas throughout each dish, using tea as both an ingredient and storytelling device. From floral jasmine to smoky oolong and rich black teas, the evening will explore how tea can shape flavour, aroma, texture, and memory within contemporary Asian cuisine.

Known for redefining modern Chinese dining in Canada through her neo-Chinese tasting menus at Yan Dining Room, Chef Eva Chin will approach tea not simply as a beverage pairing, but as a culinary medium woven directly into the experience.

“Tea has always carried memory, ritual, and emotion for me,” says Chef Eva Chin, Executive Chef and Co-owner of Yan Dining Room. “This collaboration was an opportunity to explore tea in a more expansive way — not just as something you drink, but as something that can shape a dish, tell a story, and create unexpected depth and balance throughout a meal.”

For over 20 years, Chatime has played a defining role in shaping Canada’s bubble tea culture, introducing generations of Canadians to authentic tea traditions from Asia while continuing to innovate through flavour, technique, and customization. Steeped in Craft marks the brand’s entry into a new creative space — one rooted in culinary exploration, cultural storytelling, and the complexity that quality tea can bring to the table.

“At Chatime, tea has always been at the heart of everything we do,” says Trinh Tham , CEO, Chatime and Bake Code. “Partnering with Chef Eva Chin gave us the opportunity to showcase tea through a completely different lens — one that highlights its complexity, versatility, and cultural significance in a way that feels elevated, modern, and deeply intentional.”

Throughout the dinner, guests will be guided through eight courses with insights into the featured teas, their flavour profiles, and the culinary inspiration behind the menu.
