Developed by Rafe Judkins, The Wheel of Time is an American epic fantasy television series for Amazon Prime Video. Judkins is also the executive producer alongside Rick Selvage, Larry Mondragon, Ted Field, Mike Weber, Darren Lemke, Marigo Kehoe, and Sanaa Hamri.

The first season, consisting of eight episodes, premiered on Prime Video on November 19, 2021. The series was renewed for a second season in May 2021, before the series premiered.

So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who will come back to reprise their roles? Keep reading to know further details.

The Wheel of Time Plot and Cast

Rosamund Pike

By the end of the first season, Rand and Moiraine had snuck off in search of The Eye of The World, where they had a treacherous encounter with the Dark One. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang stood with the forces of Fal Dara in a desperate battle against the Dark One’s forces.

Rand managed to overcome the Dark One with the help of a totem Moiraine had given him to banish him deeper into his current prison. Although he triumphed, he urged Moiraine (who has been cut off from the One Power by the Dark One) to tell his friends he had died due to his worries about what he might do now that he has a connection to the One Power.

Season 2 will no doubt deal with the fallout from this climactic decision, as well as explore what Mat was up to, plus the arrival of the Seanchan army from across the sea.

The Wheel of Time Season 2 will see most of the original main cast returning for the next part of their adventure, barring one major shake-up. This includes Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, and others.

The major change comes in the form of Mat Cauthon, the remaining villager suspected of being the Dragon Reborn. Although Mat was portrayed by Barney Harris, Barney is not returning for the second season.

Amazon hasn’t set any release date for The Wheel of Time Season 2 yet. We can expect it in late 2022 or early 2023. Not much has been revealed regarding Season 2, but we know that it will consist of eight episodes, just like the first season.

The first episode of the second season is titled ‘A Taste of Solitude’. This was revealed via a tweet from the official The Wheel of Time account back in May 2021.
