This laid the groundwork for season 3, which will be pulling heavily from Robert Jordan’s fourth book in the series,The Shadow Rising.

Now, Prime Video has released new images fromThe Wheel of Timeseason 3,teasing the appearance of new characters like Morgase (Olivia Williams) and Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo), alongside multiple Aiel characters. The images also tease continued stories for other characters like Rand training with Lan (Daniel Henney), reuniting with Matt (Dónal Finn) and Perrin (Marcus Rutherford), and working with the Aiel. Siuan (Sophie Okonedo) can also be seen on the attack, while one final image shows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) channeling her powers. Check out the new images below:

What The Wheel Of Time’s New Images Mean For Season 3

The Fantasy Series' World Is Further Expanding

The Wheel of Timeseason 3promises a deeper look into the series' world, with the Aiel playing an important role following Aviendha’s introduction during season 3. However,new dangers are also appearing, with Elaida influenced by her desire for power, something that could cause another threat, like Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood), to rise out of the Aes Sedai. Moghedien’s promise that all the Forsaken have been released is another major clue about the season, with Lanfear’s appearance in the images indicating she’ll be facing the consequences of Ishamael’s (Fares Fares) death.

The world of the Wheel of Time includes not only the many countries and city-states of the Westlands, but also the vast regions beyond.

It also appearsRand is growing into his role as the Dragon Reborn by training with Lan, but isn’t letting it define him, given his reunion with Matt and Perrin. However, his friends have their own stories going on as well, with the former’s possibly connected to Nynaeve (Zoë Robins), since they’re sharing an important scene together in the images.The Wheel of Timecastis also expanding to include more Aiel characters, something the core protagonist’s story will seemingly hinge on as he travels to their lands.

Our Take On The Wheel Of Time Season 3’s New Images

With a multitude of new storylines taking shape, it appearsThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 will be offering some of the most challenging circumstances for its heroes so far. As Rand explores new lands and the Aes Sedai deal with new threats, the images remain light on what the Forsaken’s release means for the Dark One’s plans. These new glimpses at season 3 are just a small part of the larger narrative, which will no doubt include the main character readily stepping into his role as the Dragon Reborn.
