![]() ![]() The journeys Robert Jordan created are epic. You know who these people are, and now you get to see them go on these journeys. "This season is a lot of screaming, crying, fighting, and two people talking in a room," showrunner Rafe Judkins teased at New York Comic Con last year. Whereas the first season adapted (pretty faithfully, for the most part) the first book in Robert Jordan's sprawling saga, "The Eye of the World," the next batch of episodes will focus on "The Great Hunt," as confirmed in the brief teaser promo below. Now, Prime Video has announced that Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski), Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) and the rest of the Westlands' ragtag heroes will return to our screens for more adventure on September 1. It's been almost two years since the debut season of The Wheel of Time concluded, and fans of the fantasy adaptation were beginning to grow a little impatient with the lack of season 2 updates. ![]()
