Season 2 consists of a total of eight episodes, with the first three episodes released at once, followed by the remaining five episodes scheduled for release every Friday. The first season of the series was released in November 2021.
This American fantasy television series is based on the novel of the same name by Robert Jordan. The story follows Moiraine Damodred, a member of the Aes Sedai who searches for the reincarnated Dragon, the one who broke the world. The prophecy behind her search is that the Dragon's reincarnation will either save the world from the Dark One or break it once again.
The official synopsis of The Wheel of Time Season 2 by Amazon Prime states:
“Though Rand thought he destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the world. Threats new and very old seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they must find other sources of strength. In each other, or themselves. In the Light... or the Dark.”
