When was The Wheel of Time season 3 confirmed?
The Wheel of Time season three was confirmed back in July 2022 ahead of the release of season two in 2023.
The exciting announcement was made at Comic-Con, with series show-runner Rafe Judkins saying: "I’m so thrilled that we’ll be making a third season of The Wheel of Time. The Shadow Rising has always been my favourite book in the series, so being able to bring it to television and introduce new audiences to the stories that made me fall in love with these books in the first place is such an honour, and something I’ve been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago."
What will The Wheel of Time season 3 cover?
As previously mentioned by show-runner Rafe Judkins, season three of The Wheel of Time will cover the fourth book in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan called The Shadow Rising.
This is the official synopsis of The Shadow Rising:
"The Stone of Tear, invulnerable fortress of legend, has fallen. The Children of the Dragon have risen to the call of prophecy and march to the aid of the Light. Callandor, the Sword That Is Not a Sword, is held by Rand al'Thor, the man proclaimed as the Dragon Reborn.
"But still the shadows lengthen and still the Forsaken grow in strength. If he is to fight them, Rand must master the male half of the True Source, a power corrupted by the Dark One, a power that drives men to madness, a power that may save or damn the world."
The first season covered the first book in the series The Eye of The World and season two focuses on the second and third books The Great Hunt and The Dragon Reborn.
