‘The Wheel Of Time’ Season 2 Trailer: Rosamund Pike Leads The Final Battle Against Evil This September

The Dark One is vanquished, but evil isn’t so easily defeated. Season two of Amazon’s ambitious The Wheel of Time follows Rand al’Thor (Joshua Stradowski) continuing to face his destiny as the one who will either save the world, or destroy it.

Rosamund Pike returns as Moiraine Damodred, joined by Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Zoë Robins, Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Dónal Finn, Priyanka Bose, Kate Fleetwood, Sophie Okonedo, Fares Fares, Kae Alexander, and Ceara Coveney.

Here’s the synopsis for season two: Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski, Gran Turismo), 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 sorceresses 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 Wheel of Time returns to Prime Video on September 1st.
