The Wheel of Time returns to Prime Video on September 1, and the streamer (via SFFGazette.com) has now debuted the first trailer for the second season.
While season 1 focused on The Eye of the World, season 2 will adapt what is generally considered one of the most popular novels in Robert Jordan's sprawling fantasy saga, The Great Hunt (though it's also expected to include elements of the third book, The Dragon Reborn).
In the season 1 finale, our heroes believed they were successful in vanquishing the Dark One (Josha Stradowski, but, as Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) points out in the teaser, all they did was "set him free."
Now, Rand Al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), aka The Dragon Reborn, must attempt to come to terms with the fact that he is a lot more than just a "spoke on the wheel," and harness the immense power flowing through him if he hopes to save his friends - and the entire world - from a terrible fate.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know if you watched the first season of The Wheel of Time in the comments.
Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series, 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.
