The official trailer for Amazon Prime Video‘s epic fantasy drama series ‘The Wheel Of Time‘ dropped on social media this evening. The first three episodes of the much-awaited Prime Video original series arrive on Friday, November 19, with new episodes available on subsequent Fridays. The season finale will premiere on December 24.
The trailer for ‘The Wheel Of Time’ is a stunning visual spectacle that reveals what the storyline is like. Lavish sets and imposing landscapes add to the mesmerising quality of the scenes featured in the trailer. Rosamund Pike plays Moirraine, a powerful member of the mystical order of female channelers (who can use the power of magic), called the Aes Sedai. She must shepherd five young people from the village of Two Rivers on a perilous journey, to fight the ‘Dark One’, an all-powerful creature who will destroy the world if not stopped in time. One among the five is a reincarnation of an ancient powerful channeler Dragon, who is prophesied to either save or destroy humanity.
The Wheel Of Time trailer gives glimpses of all the primary cast members. We even get a glimpse of Money Heist star Álvaro Morte as Logain Ablar. The show has been mounted on a grand scale. Stunning visuals add to the feeling of grandeur. Magic, mystique and monsters all find place in the montage of shots showcased in the trailer. ‘The Wheel Of Time’ is a tent pole show from Prime Video, which it intends to match “Game Of Thrones” in scale.
