Suffused with a heady mixture of global-scale politicking and war, cut with plenty of romance and interpersonal arguing, the Wheel Of Time books were started by Jordan way back in 1990, and finished 23 years later (outliving their creator by a full six years). The series takes place in a world in which only women can use magic, because any man who does so turns into an insane murder machine. This, understandably, makes for some pretty complicated power dynamics—especially given that Moraine is seeking out The Dragon Reborn, the reincarnation of a male channeler who came very close to destroying the world in the setting’s past.
The first three episodes of Wheel Of Time—which also co-stars Josha Stradowski, Marcus Rutherford, Zoë Robins, Barney Harris, and Madeleine Madden as the five rural youths who get swept up in Moraine’s potentially apocalyptic quest, and Daniel Henney as her loyal bodyguard—will air on Amazon on Friday, November 19; the season will wrap up on December 24, and has already received its Christmas present (a second season) early, with Amazon announcing the news back in May.
