We’re inside a soundstage at Shepperton Studios in late June for Season 3 of Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” and with mercury levels topping 90 degrees and wildfire alerts across Greater London, the residents of the dwarf kingdom of Khazad-dûm are facing a dastardly new villain: sweat.

Almost every cast and crew member, numbering in the hundreds, is holding a mini fan. If a fan isn’t spotted in the back of a shot (remember the “Game of Thrones” coffee cup?), it’ll be a miracle.

Cameras are getting ready to roll, and before Owain Arthur — who plays newly crowned dwarf King Durin IV — steps onto a set that looks like it been carved out of the Misty Mountains themselves, one assistant holds a mini fan directly in front his face while another points one at the back of his neck. For all the valiant efforts, the battle against the intense heat isn’t always victorious.

“Eddie Marsan’s beard suddenly peeled off in a close-up yesterday,” notes hair and make-up designer Flora Moody. “We’re really try to keep things on, but it’s a struggle — everyone’s just sweating so much.” While few may have foreseen an early summer heatwave such as this, Moody hasn’t exactly helped matters.

To reflect Season 3 jumping ahead five years after Season 2, she upped the volume of on-screen hair considerably. “I think this is one of the hairiest shows,” she suggests.

As a result, the dwarf beards — made of yak tail hair (quite itchy, apparently) — are bulkier, longer and often more elaborate plaited. Crucially, they’re heavier, so when the glue holding them in place mixes with sweat, they are more liable to slip off.

It’s not any easier for the prosthetics team, which is desperately trying to stop the same fate as Marsan’s beard happening to their oversized dwarven noses and ears. “When you’re getting somebody into a thick layer of rubber and then covering them in really heavy leather costumes, they’re just walking saunas,” says Barrie Gower, who, alongside his wife Sarah Gower, has overseen the creation of the thousands of body parts being used across the show.

“We’re probably one of the most irritating departments for the actors and supporting artists, because we spend the entire day walking around and prodding their faces to try to preventing things from peeling off them.” Inside Khazad-dûm, more elaborate dwarven cooling technologies have also been deployed. “We had ice vests,” notes Marsan, speaking after the shoot.
