We were joined on the Popternative show by Ceara Coveney (Hoard) and Ayoola Smart (Killing Eve) to discuss the highly anticipated third season of the fantasy drama series, The Wheel of Time. Season 3 will debut globally on March 13 on Prime Video with Ceara returning as Elayne Trakand and Ayoola as Aviendha.
Based on Robert Jordan’s beloved and epic fantasy book series, in The Wheel of Time, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world, or break it. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. In Season 3, the threats against the Light are multiplying as the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon, including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both.
