The wheel of time bridges the Lord of the Rings gap in autumn for all fantasy fans and returns on September 1, 2023 after 2 years of absence with the 2nd season return.

Fantasy Flashback: Amazon’s Wheel of Time reminds you what happened in Season 1 in the video

The 1st season of The Wheel of Time, based on the fantasy series * by Robert Jordan, started on Amazon Prime in November 2019. In the fantasy universe where only the women of the Aes Sedai are allowed to practice magic, Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) went in search of a chosen one who should save or destroy the world: the “Reborn Dragon”. In doing so, their traveling companions were pursued by the henchmen of the captured great villain: the Dark One.

While you’ll need a little more fantasy information to understand the world of The Wheel of Time, to remind you of Season 1 in preparation for Season 2, according to the cast, that’s apparently enough 5 facts:

  • 1. Initial situation: The village of “Two Rivers” is the starting point for the quest for the prophesied, powerful “Reborn Dragon”.
  • 2. Separation: The friendly travel companions go different ways on the way.
  • 3. False Dragon: The man who proclaims himself the chosen one (Álvaro Morte) is not.
  • 4. Merge: From the city of Tar Valon, Moiraine leads the reunited party to the site of the dragon’s revelation: the Eye of the World.
  • 5. The chosen one: Rand (Josha Stradowski) turns out to be a “dragon” and fights the (apparent) big villain, the Dark King (Fares Fares). A bigger war begins.

    So far, so memorable. But if you listen carefully, you will already notice a wording in the wheel of time video: “Rand fulfills the prophecy as the Dragon Reborn and fights at the Eye of the World the one we believe to be the Dark One.”

    That can only mean that we – contrary to what was assumed at the end of the first season of The Wheel of Time – the Main villain of the fantasy series not yet met have.
