It features the classic prophecy where one person could either save the world or destroy it, but The Wheel of Time is nothing ordinary.
The television series was adapted from the book series by Robert Jordan with Brandon Sanderson, likened to epic fantasy shows like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones when it was first released.
The series, developed by executive producer Rafe Judkins, follows Moiraine on her hunt for the Dragon reincarnated when she stumbles upon five people with the potential. So, which of these potentials will save the world or mark its end?
With two successful seasons done and dusted, fans have begun to wonder when the third season will be released. Below we’ve answered all of fans burning questions regarding The Wheel of Time’s third season.
What is the plot for The Wheel of Time season three?
In the season two finale, the five protagonists Egwene, Rand, Perrin, Mat, and Nyaeve step up for a war between the Seanchan and the Whitecloaks. When Rand – the Dragon – kills both Lord Turak (Daniel Francis) and Ishamael (Fares Fares).
It is believed the next season will focus on the Foresaken, dangerous and evil channelers who served in Shadow in the War of Power who were released in the season two finale.
Despite little information confirmed about the new season, Rafe has provided a little teaser for fans.
“The first 15 minutes of season three is one of the most bonkers set pieces I’ve ever seen on television,” he told Deadline.
“I was just watching it this week, and it is absolutely bananas what our team pulled off … just a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s shredding each other, and it is wonderful to behold.”
When will season three release?
In March 2024, a special video of the cast was shared to X (previously Twitter) with the announcement that filming had officially wrapped.
