In an interview, Rafe Judkins talked about what to expect from the new year of the series, as well as the difficulties of adapting it to streaming
Back with its third season,The wheel of timewhich adapts fantasy saga from Robert Jordanit is grand since its first scene. Right in the first chapter, we witness the epic combat between AES SEDAI in the White Tower, which reveals to us that, in fact, part of them are Ajah Negras infiltrated.
Last December, when he was in Brazil for CCXP24, the showrunner Prime Video’s success series, Rafe Judkinstalked to the Cinebuzzpartner of Rolling Stone Brazilabout the conflicts that impact the new episodes.
“We wanted the third season to start with a crash, to make it very clear what we are doing from the beginning, because you can’t accommodate yourself at a pace,” stated. “Starting with 15 minutes from a group of women crushing in the white tower is a good way to open the season and welcome.”

The second year of The wheel of time ended with the victory of Rand al’thor (JOSHA STRTRASKI) About Ishamael (Fares Fares), and the statement that the young man is the Reborn dragoncapable of saving or ruining humanity.
However, in the new chapters, they need to go on new journeys while the threats against the light are multiplying: the white tower is divided, the black Ajah are loose, old enemies return to the two rivers and the remaining abandoned are in search of the dragon, even Lar (NATASHA O’KEEFFE), whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between light and darkness for both.
Divided into groups, they depart on journeys that expand the fantastic universe of the series. The characters will meet new cultures and new places in the world, such as AIEL WASTE and TANCHICO.
“The second season was very focused on the separate arches that each of the characters was doing so that you could approach them and understand what is happening in their heads,” explained Judkins.

According to showrunnerthe third season is an almost perfect combination of the first and second seasons. “We see the characters moving in groups in various ways. We see many of the relationships that are at the center of it, unlike their personal journeys.”he explained.
“It is very difficult to deal with 22 regular characters in the series, each with its own way and its own pretensions about the world, but I think our actors do a great job by giving it to life on any scene that appear on the screen, and you understand what they are doing and what they care about.”completed.
According to the five protagonists – Rand al’thor, EGWENE AL’VERE (Madeleine Madden), Mat cauthon (DONAL FINN), Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford) and Nynaeve (Zoë Robins) – Find their ways and follow their purposes, the people they were when they lived in two rivers, and those who need to become conflict:
“This is true, like life and all of us, and as we exist in the world,” reflected Rafe.
“It’s like the way you were created and who you were at the beginning, and then, as you start exploring the world, how you think you can become, and often people find the way back to who they were at the beginning too and sometimes find the way to something totally different and I think you see a lot from the characters,”,, “, completed.
