Jamie Campbell Bower Calls Rings of Power Season 3 the ‘Perfect Kind of Antidote’ After Stranger Things

Jamie Campbell Bower says joining *The Rings of Power* after playing Vecna in *Stranger Things* has been a welcome change. He described the role as an “antidote” to the emotionally taxing work of portraying a villain, and said he was grateful to join the series.

Bower plays Celeborn, Galadriel’s long-lost husband, in the show’s third season, which resumes five years after Season 2 amid the war with Sauron. Tolkien’s writings leave Celeborn’s origins open to interpretation, so Bower built his portrayal around sensitivity and vulnerability. The first four episodes are available on Prime Video; the remaining episodes are scheduled for 18 and 25 November.
