Rosamund Pike holds a monster’s head in a new Wheel of Time poster. Penned by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, The Wheel of Time series spanned 14 novels and has become one of the best-selling fantasy series since J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Hailed for its detailed imaginary world, complex characters, and impeccably developed magic system, The Wheel of Time centers on Moiraine Damodred (Pike), a member of the all-female organization of the Aes Sedai, as she embarks on a perilous mission.
In 2018, Amazon shook the fantasy world when it announced it would give the Wheel of Time show a series order. Helmed by Rafe Judkins, Wheel of Time has been in production since 2019. Featuring a massive cast, including Daniel Henney as al'Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, and Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al’Meara, The Wheel of Time season 1 will debut on Amazon in November 2021. Last month, Amazon released the trailer for The Wheel of Time, which indicated that the series may be making some major changes to Jordon’s novels. Now, as the series gears up to finally unveil the complex world, another image from the series has emerged.
Posted by The Wheel of Time on Twitter, a new poster for Amazon’s series shows Pike as Moiraine effortlessly grasping the head of a lifeless monster (believed to be a deceased Trolloc) flanked by Henney as Lan Mandragoran as they stand in long, feathery grass. Showcasing Moiraine and Lan seemingly amid battle, the poster highlights the series’ November 19 premiere date. Check out the poster below:
More recently, Amazon has doled out numerous reveals about Wheel of Time that continues to drum up excitement for the streaming service’s fantasy series endeavor. These include a Wheel of Time poster that shows the series’ terrifying villains, the release of the first soundtrack song, and the announcement that Mat Cauthon has been recast for Wheel of Time season 2. For now, the Wheel of Time poster featuring Moraine holding a monster’s head while Lan stands poised for a battle seems to emphasize the bond the characters shared in the novels.
For decades, The Wheel of Time has resonated with readers for its endlessly fascinating world, intricate weaponry, and powerful women at its core. Of course, the anticipation for Wheel of Time season 1 continues to grow. Those familiar with the beloved novels, as well as those eager to dive into a new fantasy series, have a lot to look forward to with Amazon’s adaptation of The Wheel of Time.
