Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television’s big-budget TV series adaptation of Robert Jordan’s novel series “The Wheel of Time” has finally wrapped filming in the Czech Republic after kicking off its shoot originally in late 2019.
Timed with that wrap, Amazon has officially granted the Rosamund Pike-led fantasy series an early second season renewal – long before the first season has premiered.
Showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkins said in a statement: “Getting a second season order before the first season has even premiered is such a vote of confidence in the work we are doing and the property itself, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to continue to live and work in the world Robert Jordan created.”
The series is set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists, but only women can use it. The story follows Moiraine (Pike), a member of the shadowy and influential all-female organization called the ‘Aes Sedai’ as she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women.
Moiraine believes one of them might be the reincarnation of an incredibly powerful individual, whom prophecies say will either save humanity or destroy it. The series draws on numerous elements of European and Asian culture and philosophy.
Daniel Henney, Alvaro Morte, Sophie Okonedo, Kae Alexander, Madeleine Madden, Zoe Robins, Michael McElhatton, Barney Harris, and Marcus Rutherford star.
