The Wheel of Time Season 3 Sets Spring 2025 Return with Ominous First Trailer

Prime Video's ambitious adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved fantasy series The Wheel of Time is returning for its third season on March 13, 2025. The announcement came during Brazil's CCXP24 convention, where fans got their first glimpse at the upcoming season through a haunting new trailer.

A Dark Vision Ahead

The brief but impactful preview focuses on Rosamund Pike's Moiraine delivering a chilling prophecy: "I have seen thousands of futures. In every future I lived, Rand died. The only way for him to live is for me to die." The trailer's ominous tone continues with warnings of a changing world and deeper shadows, setting up what appears to be the darkest season yet.

Adapting "The Shadow Rising"

Season 3 will adapt "The Shadow Rising," the fourth book in Jordan's epic fantasy series, which many readers consider one of the strongest installments in the 14-book saga. The season will maintain the established format of eight weekly episodes, starting from the March premiere date.

The upcoming season sees the return of its core cast, including:

Rosamund Pike as Moiraine

Josha Stradowski as Rand al'Thor

Madeleine Madden as Egwene

Daniel Henney as Lan

Zoë Robins as Nynaeve

Marcus Rutherford as Perrin

Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon

The Journey So Far

While the series faced mixed reviews in its first season, the second season garnered more positive reception from both critics and fans. The third season, which completed filming in March 2024, stands at a crucial point for the series' future.

For newcomers, The Wheel of Time follows an ancient prophecy about the Dragon Reborn, destined to either save or destroy the world. Set in a universe where magic exists but can only be wielded by certain women, the story weaves together complex political intrigue, diverse cultures, and epic battles between light and darkness.
