## Key points

- Lloyd Owen drew on Peter Jackson’s films for Narsil’s return.
- The production aimed to preserve the sword’s iconic design.
- Season 3 premieres on 11 November with four episodes.

## Summary

Lloyd Owen says he revisited Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films before filming The Rings of Power season 3, using Viggo Mortensen’s handling of Narsil as a visual reference. The sword, which Míriel gave Elendil at the end of season 2, is set to return in the new season.

Owen and director Charlotte Brändström aimed to echo the impact of the sword’s unsheathing in Jackson’s films. Armour master Alex Francis said the design team also drew on the established film depictions, books and existing blueprints, seeking to keep Narsil recognisable. Season 3 starts on Prime Video on 11 November with a four-episode premiere.
