In a recent interview with IGN about the upcoming season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power , co-showrunner Patrick McKay said big changes are coming, including a five-year time skip . McKay went as far as to describe season 3 as a “soft reboot” of sorts. While that’s certainly a big deal, another line in the interview will stand out for many Tolkien-heads.
