Wheel of Time Season 3 – New Character Details
Isabella Bucceri (Finally Me, Everything in Between) plays ‘Faile Bashere,’ a Saldaean ‘Hunter of the Horn,’ whose efforts to locate a treasured relic have led her to The Two Rivers.
Nukâka Coster-Waldau (Thin Ice, Anori) portrays eldest Wise One, ‘Bair,’ the most respected member of the Taardad Aiel. Her authority and wisdom are held in higher regard even than that of the Clan Chief. Along with being able to channel the One Power, she has access to an even more mystical ability.
Salóme Gunnarsdóttir (The Lazarus Project, Justice League) plays ‘Melaine,’ a Wise One of the Taardad Aiel. Despite not being able to channel, she is able to access a more mystical power.
Björn Landberg (German series Galileo Mystery, Unter uns) is ‘Rhuarc,’ the well-respected Clan Chief of the Taardad Aiel. Having passed the trial of Rhuidean to become Chief, he is one of the few Aiel who knows what lies within the fog, though he is forbidden to speak of it.
Synnøve Madocy Lund (Ragnarok, Saw X) plays ‘Melindhra,’ a Malkieri survivor taken in and raised by the Taardad Aiel.
About Wheel of Time Season 3
The Wheel of Time adapts Robert Jordan’s fantasy book series. The story follows humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, who learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world… or break it. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches.
After defeating Ishamael, one of the most powerful of the Forsaken, at the end of Season 2, Rand reunites with his friends in the city of Falme. There, he is declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season 3, the threats against the Light are multiplying. The White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both.
As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost.
Season 3 of The Wheel of Time will premiere on Prime Video March 13. You can also stream the first two seasons on Prime Video now.
