While we didn’t LOVE the first season of “The Wheel of Time,” we do agree the casting for each of these iconic characters from Robert Jordan‘s (later finished by Brandon Sanderson) novels was pretty spot on. That’s why, yes, we’re pretty excited for season 2.
This morning, Prime video released 8 first look images (thanks, Entertainment Weekly!) of whats to come in the second season.
IT’S FREAKING AVIENDHA!! And, AND, the recast of Mat Cauthon, who will now be played by Dónal Finn.
“The Wheel of Time” season 2 will premiere September 1st, 2023. Check out the images now:

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.
