Prime Video has posted a short behind-the-scenes clip for The Rings of Power Season 3 that zeroes in on Narsil, the Númenórean blade that will one day be reforged into Andúril. The clip, captioned “The sword of the Faithful,” shows Lloyd Owen’s Elendil drawing and handling the weapon on set.

What the new clip shows
It's a very brief clip. Elendil unsheathes Narsil and moves through a few measured beats for the camera crew. Just confirmation that the sword is back in play and central to his arc.
Why Narsil matters
Season 2 ended with Míriel gifting the blade to Elendil, a handoff that set up its Second Age journey. In Tolkien’s chronology, Narsil becomes the sword Isildur uses against Sauron at the end of the War of the Last Alliance, then lies broken until it is reforged as Andúril for Aragorn. Bringing it forward in marketing suggests Elendil’s path steps closer to that larger history in Season 3.
The bigger picture
Amazon’s slow-drip campaign started in late July with a teaser built around Sauron’s crown. The studio has said Season 3 jumps ahead several years to the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, with the forging of the One Ring looming. The crown teaser and this Narsil beat fit that focus and quietly confirm returning players like Charlie Vickers and Lloyd Owen without a full trailer.
Release outlook
Season 3 is filming in the U.K. There is no date yet. Based on the current cadence, late 2026 is possible, with early 2027 still in play if the schedule stretches.
