Amazon has already renewed the show for a second season. The Wheel of Time’s first season will have eight episodes and will begin streaming on Amazon Prime video on Nov. Moiraine believes that one, or maybe all, of these five young people could be the key to stopping the Dark One and saving the world. Based on a children's book by Paul McCartney. An imaginative young squirrel leads a musical revolution to save his parents from a tyrannical leader. This quest brings Moiraine and her Warder (basically her bodyguard) Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney), to the small town of Emond’s Field where they meet Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), Mat Cauthon (Barney Harris), Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford), Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden), and Nynaeve al’Meara (Zoë Robins). When a psychiatrist shelters a mysterious cult escapee, her world is turned upside down as the girl's arrival threatens to tear her own family apart. In order to stop the impending approach of an evil force called the Dark One, agents of the Aes Sedai travel the world looking for potential magic-users who could help save it.
The trailer introduces us to Moiraine Damodred (Rosemund Pike), who is a member of the Aes Sedai, a group of women trained in a magical art known as channeling. Amazon’s massive (non- Lord of the Rings) fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, is almost here, and the show’s latest trailer gives fans a preview of how the story starts.
