Amazon Prime Video has released the official teaser trailer for their upcoming fantasy series The Wheel of Time. It is based on the bestselling book series of the same name. The first three episodes of the first season will premiere on Friday the 19th of November. After that, one episode will be released each week. The season finale will air on the 24th of December.
The Wheel of Time is one of the most popular fantasy series of all time, with over more than 90 million books sold. The Amazon adaptation of Robert Jordan’s books is set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists, but only women can use it. The trailer also gives first glimpses as Rosamund Pike’s Moiraine, a member of the shadowy and influential all-female organization called the ‘Aes Sedai’ who arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.
The Wheel of Time was adapted into a television series by executive producer/showrunner Rafe Judkins. Red Eagle Entertainment's Larry Mondragon and Rick Selvage, Mike Weber, Radar Pictures' Ted Field, Darren Lemke, Marigo Kehoe and Uta Briesewitz will also serve as executive producers. Briesewitz will direct the first two episodes. Rosamund Pike will serve as producer and Harriet McDougal and Brandon Sanderson will serve as advising producers. The Wheel of Time will be co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.
