The Wheel of Time Season 2 left many loose ends to tie up, further increasing the hype for Season 3. The second season was a turning point for the series, covering significant ground—such as Rand finally discovering he is the Dragon Reborn.

The fact that he accidentally set Ishamael (Fares Fares), the Dark One's lieutenant, free opens the door for another intriguing storyline in the upcoming season. The second installment of the fantasy drama concluded with the Two Rivers gang reuniting.

Although Rand has declared himself the Dragon Reborn, the other Forsaken released by Ishamael are likely to cause trouble under his rule. Additionally, the White Tower’s divided allegiances will only add to Rand’s struggles.

The stage for Season 3 is perfectly set, promising more action, drama, and shocking twists. The Wheel of Time, based on the eponymous book series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, is set in a high-fantasy world where magic exists but can only be accessed by certain individuals, according to the official synopsis.

The story follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of the powerful all-female organization known as the Aes Sedai. Her path crosses with five young individuals, whom she trains and leads on a dangerous, world-spanning quest.

In the final moments of Season 2, Lanfear discovers that Ishamael has broken the seals of the other Forsaken. Moghedien then threatens Lanfear, warning her to stay away from Rand—leaving her genuinely scared and shocked. It seems the heroes of this beloved fantasy series will have plenty of dangerous foes to face in the future.

The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time Season 3 will be released on March 27 on Amazon Prime Video. Check out the details of the episodic releases here!
