While The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power occupies much of the conversation when it comes to Prime Video’s epic fantasy shows, let’s not forget it was The Wheel of Time that preceded it. As the series adaptation of Robert Jordan’s popular novels embarks on its third season, a new trailer is here to prepare fans for the next chapter in the battle between good and evil.
Josha Stradowski is back as the humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, who learns he is The Dragon Reborn, whose destiny is to either protect the world or destroy it.
Rosamund Pike has been the most visible cast member in promos since the beginning. Also in the cast are co-stars Daniel Henney, Zoë Robins, Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Dónal Finn, Ceara Coveney, Kate Fleetwood, Ayoola Smart and Kae Alexander.
Rafe Judkins returns as showrunner on the series, which will run for eight episodes this season.
Here’s the synopsis: “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 (Natasha O’Keeffe), 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 (Madeleine Madden). 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.”
The Wheel of Time hits Prime Video on March 13th 2025.
