Amazon is taking another spin on The Wheel of Time, with a third season officially on the way.

During a panel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, Amazon Prime Video announced the renewal order, which will see the series continue to adapt the hit fantasy novels by Robert Jordan. The story follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike, I Care A Lot, Gone Girl), a member of the powerful all-female organisation called the Aes Sedai, as she 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 also stars Daniel Henney (Criminal Minds), who plays Lan Mandragoran; Zoë Robins (Power Rangers Ninja Steel), who plays Nynaeve al’Meara; Madeleine Madden (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), who plays Egwene al’Vere; Josha Stradowski (Just Friends),  who plays Rand al’Thor; and Marcus Rutherford (Obey), who plays Perrin Aybara.

“I’m so thrilled that we’ll be making a third season of The Wheel of Time,” said Rafe Judkins, executive producer and showrunner. “The Shadow Rising has always been my favorite book in the series, so being able to bring it to television and introduce new audiences to the stories that made me fall in love with these books in the first place is such an honor, and something I’ve been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago.”

“We are so excited to dive deeper into the world of The Wheel of Time with Rafe Judkins and his team, who have done such a marvelous job of honoring Robert Jordan’s vision and delivering an incredible viewing experience to Prime Video customers,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television, Amazon Studios. “Season One resonated with the most loyal of Jordan devotees, as well as the uninitiated, who were experiencing this incredible world for the first time, proving this is a show that truly stands out in the genre space. We couldn’t be happier to give fans more reasons to be excited about the show and bring more The Wheel of Time to our customers worldwide.”
