The first three episodes of The Wheel Of Time will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, November 19, with new episodes available on subsequent Fridays.

The first teaser for The Wheel Of Time reveals a rich, lavish drama, 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 teaser. The 2-minute-long teaser gives distinct “Game Of Thrones” vibes, and the show has all the makings of an epic drama.
The Wheel Of Time is a fantasy series, adapted from Robert Jordan’s book series of the same name. It centres on a powerful, mystical order of female channelers (who can use the power of magic), called the Aes Sedai. Following an attack by the forces of the ‘Dark One’, Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), an Aes Sedai, embarks on a perilous journey with five young people of the village of Two Rivers. She believes that one person among the five is a reincarnation of an ancient powerful channeler Dragon, who is prophesied to either save or destroy humanity.
The story of The Wheel Of Time is vast and sprawling, with an impressive number of characters included in the fourteen novels that make up the series. The series picks up themes from Hinduism (reincarnation), Islamism (Shaitan or the Devil), Buddhism (cyclical nature of time) and Christianity.
The Wheel of Time is written by Rafe Judkins (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Chuck), who is also the showrunner and executive producer of the series.
The sprawling cast of the series includes Sophie Okonedo, as the legendary Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Sanche; Kae Alexander as Min Farshaw; Kate Fleetwood as Liandrin Guirale; Álvaro Morte as Logain Ablar; Peter Franzen as Stepin; Clare Perkins as Kerene Nagashi; Daniel Henney as al’Lan Mandragoran; Madeleine Madden as Egwene Al’Vere; Priyanka Bose as Alanna Mosvani; Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara; Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon; Zoe Robins as Nynaeve; Josha Stradowski as Rand Al’Thor, among a host of others.
