About The Wheel of Time
In The Wheel of Time, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches.
After defeating Ishamael, one of the most powerful of the Forsaken, at the end of Season Two, Rand reunites with his friends in the city of Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season Three, the threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost.

Today, Prime Video announced that the first scene from Season Two of The Wheel of Time is now available to view at the end of the Season One finale episode (Episode 108) as a special surprise bonus for fans.
This sneak peek of the new season reflects the structure of the best-selling and epic The Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan, on which the Amazon Original series is based, where at the end of each novel, Jordan would add the first chapter of the next book as a preview.
In an additional homage to the show’s inspiration, the scene which has been made available—the opening from Episode 201—is an adaptation of the fan favorite “Darkfriend Social” prologue of the second novel of Jordan’s series, The Great Hunt, upon which Season Two is largely based.
Ahead of the sneak peek of the new season, here are five things to remember about the Wheel of Time Season one.

Amazing news! Prime Video‘s top-rated Series THE WHEEL OF TIME has just been renewed a third season as just announced at Comic-Con! A Panel was held today where fans got to see a minute-long Sizzle Reel, along with the big news!
“I’m so thrilled that we’ll be making a third season of The Wheel of Time,” said Rafe Judkins, executive producer and showrunner of The Wheel of Time. “The Shadow Rising has always been my favorite book in the series, so being able to bring it to television and introduce new audiences to the stories that made me fall in love with these books in the first place is such an honor, and something I’ve been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago.”
“We are so excited to dive deeper into the world of The Wheel of Time with Rafe Judkins and his team, who have done such a marvelous job of honoring Robert Jordan’s vision and delivering an incredible viewing experience to Prime Video customers,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television, Amazon Studios. “Season One resonated with the most loyal of Jordan devotees, as well as the uninitiated, who were experiencing this incredible world for the first time, proving this is a show that truly stands out in the genre space. We couldn’t be happier to give fans more reasons to be excited about the show and bring more The Wheel of Time to our customers worldwide.”
“Initially, people around the globe fell in love with Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time books and now thanks to Rafe Judkins and his incredible team that epic world has vividly been brought to life on Prime Video,” said Jeff Frost, president, Sony Pictures Television and Jason Clodfelter, co-president, Sony Pictures Television. “We are so pleased to be able to continue the journey and deliver this remarkable story to fans around the world. Sony Pictures Television is proud to continue its partnership with Amazon Studios as we move toward Season Three.”

Robert Jordan‘s Fantasy series THE WHEEL OF TIME has amassed a huge following around the globe, with 90+ million books being sold. The Series gets adapted into a TV Series, arriving this weekend on Prime Video.
Don’t know much about these Novels? No worries, the Series which consists of eight episodes, takes its time doing a bit of world-building so you don’t need to have read the source material to get into this.
The Series centers around the fierce Moirane (Rosamund Pike) who is a member of a powerful organization of women called the Aes Sedai, whom have magical abilities. Moirane takes five men and women with her on an adventure and one of them could well be the reincarnation of the Dragon. They are Egwene (Madeleine Madden), Nynaeve (Zoë Robins), Rand (Josha Stradowski), Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) and Mat (Barney Harris). This however could be either a wonderful thing for the world or completely catastrophic.
Moriane is accompanied by her Warder al’Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney), whose job is to protect her and we await their story to unfold over the Series as they ground the story, as we get closer to discovering whom of the five contenders might be the Dragon. Pike is a real presence and we could not keep our eyes off of her, and we’re delighted she is getting this chance for the world to see her talent in such an accessible way. Above this, we love the inclusivity in the Series’ casting choices. While the Series takes place way in the past, it is years ahead in its progressiveness.
While it certainly unfolds at a slower pace, the investment should pay off for fans of the Franchise as the Series really focuses on the details and staying faithful. Visually, it is a spectacle with some really cool CGI, in ways filling the void left behind in the genre as fans await an upcoming Game of Thrones Prequel.
The first three episodes of THE WHEEL OF TIME premiere on Prime Video November 19, 2021 with new episodes weekly, until December 24, 2021.
Featuring groundbreaking technology, you can view the new Trailer for Prime Video‘s THE WHEEL OF TIME in a virtual 3-D wheel with YouTube‘s 360 Player. More on the 360 Player here.
