Get ready to meet a new royal family. Amazon revealed a number of new cast members headed to The Wheel of Time season 3. Olivia Williams, Luke Fetherston, Callum Kerr, and Nuno Lopes all join the upcoming season.
The four actors will portray the royal family of the kingdom of Andor. Andor is the largest, most populous, and most influential country within the heart of the Westlands, as depicted in Robert Jordan’s bestselling fantasy book series upon which the Prime Video TV series is based.
Williams (The Crown) plays Morgase Trakand, the Queen of Andor. Morgase did not inherit her throne. Rather, when the succession was left without an heir, she waged a brutal war against a half-dozen noble rivals, and thanks to her political savvy and utter ruthlessness, she won. She has sworn ever since to shield her daughter and heir, Elayne, from ever having to endure what she did… and do what she did. But far from being a tyrant, Morgase has become one of the best queens Andor has ever known.
Fetherston (Doctor Who) plays Lord Galad of House Trakand. A royal prince of Andor and brother to Gawyn and Elayne, Galad is a skilled fighter, famously handsome, and protective of his younger sister.
Kerr (Hollyoaks) plays Lord Gawyn of House Trakand. Gawyn is a royal prince of Andor, and older brother to Galad and Elayne. Despite being the first born, he is not the heir to the throne. Andor is a matriarchy, and so the role of heir falls to his younger sister, Elayne.
Lopes (White Lines) plays the role of ‘Lord Gaebril,’ Queen Morgase’s male consort. Both her lover and adviser, he assists in overseeing matters political and military. Andor is a matriarchal society, and so his power and influence, though vast, are always second to that of his Queen, to whom his loyalties and services are sworn.
The Wheel of Time season 3 will premiere on Prime Video March 13, 2025. Until then, check back to THS for more updates.
