'The Wheel of Time': How to Watch Season 3 of the Fantasy Show

6 hours ago 2

Prime VIdeo's lavish TV adaptation of Robert Jordan's epic fantasy novel series is back, with season 3 of The Wheel of Time promising more power struggles, new alliances and unpredictable villains.

While production on its first season was hampered by the pandemic and fanbase-dividing diversions from the intricate plot lines of Jordan's books, The Wheel of Time has been a big hit, nestling in nicely alongside Amazon's other mega-budget show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Season 3 drops us back into the story Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and his journey from a simple shepherd to a destined hero known as the Dragon Reborn. The threats against Rand and his allies of The Light are multiplying.

The White Tower, home of the all-female order of magic users the Aes Sedai, stands divided, while the Black Ajah — rogue Aes Sedai sworn to the Dark One — operate unchecked. Meanwhile Lanfear, a Forsaken with a deep past with Rand, is set to force a defining choice between Light and Dark for the show's protagonist.
