With the show recommissioned as the first season wrapped, The Wheel of Time Season 2 has been a long time in the making.
To remind us of its impending return on September 1st 2023, Prime Video have released a striking new poster.
Here’s what they have to say about the new series.
Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series The Wheel of Time, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski) learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful women must reckon with his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. Though Rand thought he destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the world. In Season Two, threats new and very old seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they must find other sources of strength. In each other, or themselves. In the Light … or the Dark.
The show also stars Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al’Meara, Madeleine Madden as Egwene al’Vere, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara and Ceara Coveney as Elayne Trakand.
In Season 2, Dónal Finn (SAS Rogue Heroes) takes on the role of Mat Cauthon, previously played by Barney Harris.
