With an expanding fanbase, as newcomers to the TV series join long-time fans of the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy book series upon which it is based, The Wheel of Time is gearing up for its best season so far.
For those new to the viral fantasy, it centres on a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, who learns he is The Dragon Reborn, a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it.

Filmed in South Africa, it’s set to deliver breathtaking visuals not to mention mind-bending plot twists.

Read on for everything you need to know about this sweeping adventure, with Season 3 premiering on Prime Video on March 13, 2025.
What is the plot of The Wheel of Time Season 3?
The lore of The Wheel of Time is deep. So deep in fact that it would be easier to fight the Dark One than try and summarise what to expect.
So, according to the official synopsis, “In Season 3, the threats against the Light are multiplying. 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.
“As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene.
“These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost.”
Who is in the cast of The Wheel of Time Season 3?
Saltburn star Rosamund Pike leads the ensemble cast of The Wheel of Time as Moiraine Damodred, a member of the Aes Sedai, an organisation of women who can wield magic.
