Ar-Pharazôn is major antagonist in the 2022 streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
First appearing when Galadriel enter's the Queen's court in Armenelos, Pharazôn's allegiances are initially unclear; while serving Queen Regent Míriel well, there seem hints of his own, secret agenda at work. When the Queen Regent expresses her support for the elves and an intention to sail with Galadriel using ships of the Númenórean navy to the aid of the Southlands, Pharazôn publicly supports her, though to the confusion of his son Kemen. Pharazôn details his ambitions to use a connection to Middle-earth to Númenor's political and financial advantage, reassuring his son of his opposition to the Elves, which earlier he had emphasized by giving an impromptu speech to disgruntled guildsmen in Armenelos who were angry at Míriel's perceived friendliness to Galadriel.
In Míriel's absence, the health of her father Tar-Palantir declines further, leading Pharazôn to charge the draftsmen of Númenor to design for him a tomb. Tar-Palantir dies before her return from Middle-earth, and Pharazôn stands over the king's body, deciding what his next move will be.
He is portrayed by Trystan Gravelle
