The Wheel of Time Plot and Cast
Since the second season has not concluded yet, we cannot say anything about what will happen in Season 3. However, it is confirmed to continue from where the second season would end.
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.
Although it is not confirmed yet, the leads of the first season will return to reprise their roles. This includes Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski as Rand author, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, and others.
The Wheel of Time Season 3 Release Date
The first season premiered in 2021 and Season 2 was released recently. So, we cannot say anything about when Season 3 will premiere. We can still expect it by 2024.
The upcoming season might consist of eight episodes like the first and second seasons. The series is distributed by Sony Pictures Television Distribution and Amazon Studios.
