The Wheel of Time has never been afraid to redefine its status quo. From one season to the next, the Prime Video series has pushed its sprawling cast to the brink and back — but Season 3 is poised to go even further than its predecessors.
The new season opens with a blindsiding bombshell for the Aes Sedai, the society of witches who can channel the One Power. After they discover a traitor in their midst, tensions in the White Tower reach a fever pitch, with Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood), a member of the shadowy “Black Ajah,” waging battle against Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo) and those still loyal to the light. Their battle is a total shock to the system, not only because it’s the very first scene we get in Season 3, but because it shows the true ruthlessness of the Aes Sedai for the first time since Season 1.
