The third season of The Wheel of Time will premiere on March 13, 2025, with Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actress Shohreh Aghdashloo in the role of Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan, as well as Olivia Williams and others, to the cast.
Prime Video, which streams the series worldwide, recently released the first trailer at CCXP24 in São Paulo. Adapted from the best-selling high fantasy novels, The Wheel of Time chronicles the adventures of Rand al’Thor, a humble farm boy who learns he is the Dragon Reborn, a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world.
After the events of the second season, when Rand (Josha Stradowski) defeats Ishamael (Fares Fares), the most powerful servant of the Dark One, 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 (Natasha O’Keeffe), 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 (Rosamund Pike) and Egwene (Madeleine Madden). 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.

In the upcoming season, Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog, The Expanse) joins series star Rosamund Pike in portraying one of the powerful Aes Sedai, a group of women with the ability to channel the One Power who are part of an elite sisterhood. Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan is a ruthlessly powerful Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, as proficient in politicking as she is in channeling, with a deep history with Moiraine and Siuan (Sophie Okonedo), and scores to settle with both of them when she returns to the White Tower. Elaida is someone who believes in ends over means, and is willing to do anything to achieve what she envisions to be the greater good.
Other new cast members this season include Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, The Crown), Luke Fetherston (Doctor Who, Big Mood), Callum Kerr (Hollyoaks, Monarch), and Nuno Lopes (White Lines, The New Look). The four actors will portray the royal family of Andor, the largest and most influential country within the heart of the Westlands.
Williams will portray Morgase Trakand, Queen of Andor, with Fetherston and Kerr playing royal princes Lord Gawyn and Lord Galad, respectively. Lopes rounds out the quartet as Lord Gaebril, Queen Morgase’s male consort who oversees political and military matters in the matriarchal society.
