‘The Rings of Power’ Officially Confirms the Moment Fans Have Waited 3 Seasons to See

*The Rings of Power* co-showrunner Patrick McKay has confirmed that Season 3 will show Sauron forging the One Ring. The event is central to Tolkien’s mythology, as the Ring will later become the focus of *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings*.

McKay said the season’s stories are being shaped around the Ring’s creation, with the show aiming to build momentum by linking key events. In Tolkien’s account, Sauron forges it in Mount Doom to dominate the other Rings of Power; its making eventually leads towards the War of the Last Alliance and, much later, Frodo’s quest.
