We’ll take it: Prime Video unveils brief sneak peek at Wheel of Time S2 at NYCC
Prime Video dropped a rapid-fire S1 recap and sneak peek at the second season of Wheel of Time during New York Comic Con.
New York Comic Con is happening this weekend, and the folks at Prime Video took the opportunity to unveil the briefest of sneak peek teasers for the second season of its epic fantasy series Wheel of Time, based on the novels by Robert Jordan. The new season isn't slated to premiere until sometime next year, but the streaming platform is confident enough in the series that it's already been renewed for a third.
(Spoilers for S1 below.)
As I've written previously, the series centers on Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of a powerful, all-woman organization called the Aes Sedai. Magic, known as the One Power, is divided into male (saidin) and female (saidar) flavors. The latter is the province of the Aes Sedai. Long ago, a great evil called the Dark One caused the saidin to become tainted, such that most men who show an ability to channel that magic go mad. It's the job of the Aes Sedai to track down such men and strip them of their powers. There is also an ancient prophecy concerning the Dragon Reborn: the reincarnation of a person who will save or destroy humanity.
