Prime Video has announced that the first scene from Season Two of The Wheel of Time is now available to view at the end of the Season One finale episode (Episode 108) as a special surprise bonus for fans.

This sneak peek of the new season reflects the structure of the best-selling and epic The Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan, on which the Amazon Original series is based, where at the end of each novel, Jordan would add the first chapter of the next book as a preview.

In an additional homage to the show’s inspiration, the scene which has been made available, the opening from Episode 201, is an adaptation of the fan-favourite “Darkfriend Social” prologue of the second novel of Jordan’s series, The Great Hunt, upon which Season Two is largely based.

Ahead of the sneak peek of the new season, here are five things to remember about the Wheel of Time Season 1.

• The search for the Dragon Reborn begins in the Two Rivers.
• The villagers are separated from one another on their journey
• A self-proclaimed Dragon Reborn is found but proven to be false
• The group reunites at Tar Valon, and Moiraine leads them to where The Dragon Reborn will be revealed.
• Rand fulfills the prophecy as the Dragon Reborn and battles who we think is The Dark One at The Eye of the World, breaking his seal and signaling a larger war to come.

Season Two of The Wheel of Time is also based on some elements of Jordan’s third novel, The Dragon Reborn, and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on 1 September 2023 in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.

The series was filmed in the Czech Republic, Morocco, and Italy, and stars Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, I Care a Lot) as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney (Criminal Minds) as Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski (Gran Turismo) as Rand al’Thor, Zoë Robins (Power Rangers Ninja Steel) as Nynaeve al’Meara, Madeleine Madden (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Egwene al’Vere, Marcus Rutherford (Obey) as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn (Rogue Heroes) as Mat Cauthon, and Ceara Coveney (Young Wallander) as Elayne Trakand. The Wheel of Time is a co-production with Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.
