Preview — The Wheel of Time Season 2: The Final Battle is Just Beginning

Previews, The Wheel of Time

This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.

On The Wheel of Time Season 2, the Emond’s Field Five are adjusting to life after battling the Dark One. They’re split up across the land.

Moiraine is now powerless — she was cut off from the One Power on The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 8, “The Eye of the World.” Egwene and Nynaeve are novices at the White Tower, Perrin is off doing his own thing, and Rand has everyone convinced he died fighting the Dark One.

As for Mat, he’s missing in action. Last we saw, Moiraine had told the Red Ajah about him. The trailer and photos below give us glimpses of him, so he’s alive and most likely causing chaos somewhere.

Season 2 is said to cover events that occur in books two and three of Robert Jordan’s hit fantasy book series and will feature the introduction of Elayne Trakand, Aviendha, and Lady Suroth.

Season description: Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series The Wheel of Time, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski, Gran Turismo), learns he is The Dragon Reborn — a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful sorceresses must reckon with his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. Though Rand thought he destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the world. In Season Two, threats new and very old seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they must find other sources of strength. In each other, or themselves. In the Light … or the Dark.
