The release of Amazon Prime’s Wheel Of Time Season 2 is right around the corner. As the anticipation for the upcoming season grows, so does the curiosity about what’s coming next for the show’s characters.
In an interview conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike, Rosamund Pike, renowned for her portrayal of Moiraine Damodred, and Josha Stradowski, the talented actor behind Rand al’Thor, granted us a glimpse into Rand’s initial circumstances in Season 2.
Stradowski shared, “He finds himself in a place far away from his friends and he is working in a place where he takes care of people who struggle with their mental health as he himself at the same time, is also struggling with his mental health because he is a man who can channel.”
Pike added, “And he doesn’t know that I have a very strong idea of where he is and may even have had something to do with why he’s ended up there. He thinks he’s acting on his own free will, but possibly he’s being steered by some unseen wind, created by a powerless Aes Sedai who’s been cut off from the One Power but has other powers that she can rely on.”
Adapted from Robert Jordan’s acclaimed fantasy series, The Wheel of Time follows the transformation of Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), an unassuming farm boy who unveils his true identity as The Dragon Reborn. This fabled figure, with the potential to either rescue the world or plunge it into chaos, emerges from the annals of history.
Amidst the urgency to shield him from the clutches of the Dark One, a formidable assembly of sorceresses confronts the dual challenges of his rapidly expanding abilities and the looming specter of madness.
