“Wheel of Time” Releases First Clip of Gleeman Thom Merrilin

By Mary Anne ButlerDecember 23, 20201 Min Read

We are SO DELIGHTED to tell you about this newest clip from Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming “Wheel of Time” tv series! Fans of the epic sprawling fantasy will no doubt jump with glee at this clip, as short as it is.

It teases Thom Merrilin, Gleeman and important part of the story. He’ll be played by Alexandre Willaume, and we seriously need to see his cloak RIGHT NOW.

Check out the tease:

Fans of the series will notice that this instrument is NOT one of Thom’s usual tools of the trade. This of course is a big departure from his flute or harp, and one that showrunner Rafe Judkins is willing to talk about.

After @WOTonPrime gave you the HMS, this time they’re giving you a big departure from the books — Thom Merrilin’s guitar (not harp or flute). So now that we have a more controversial piece from the show, thought I’d do a Q&A about changes from the books in my Instagram stories

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
