Exclusive Sneak Peek: Unveiling the Jaw-Dropping 10 Epic Book Stories Coming in Wheel of Time Season 2!

Summary

Furthermore, the upcoming season will mark the debut of Elayne, who will forge a friendship with Nynaeve and Egwene.

The trailer for The Wheel of Time season 2 reveals glimpses of Mat's ongoing journey and the Seanchan's acquisition of the Horn of Valere. It also highlights Egwene's distressing experience of being collared by the Seanchan. The trailer, along with other news about season 2, confirms that the show will include several significant book moments and stories for characters like Rand, Egwene, Mat, Perrin, and more. It appears that the series will bring key narratives from the books to life on screen.

In spite of the attention The Wheel of Time received for its significant changes to the source material, the first season of Amazon’s live-action retelling of Robert Jordan’s acclaimed book series adapted several events from the first book, The Eye of the World. While season 2 is expected to introduce its own alterations to Jordan’s work, it is likely to include various adventures encountered by the main characters in books like The Great Hunt and The Dragon Reborn. The Wheel Of Time season 2 trailer is abundant with hints about what those adventures might be.

7 Rand Meets Lanfear

In The Great Hunt, Rand unexpectedly encountered Selene, who not only accompanied him on his journey but also assumed the role of a distressed individual when they first met. Unbeknownst to Rand, Selene, who appeared innocent, was none other than Lanfear, a member of the Forsaken and one of his most formidable adversaries. Having been involved with the original Dragon, Selene became fixated on Rand upon realizing his true identity as the rebirth of Lews Therin. Her ultimate goal was for Rand to reciprocate her affection, prompting her to disguise her true powers while assuming the persona of Selene. The trailer for the show features Natasha O’Keeffe, cast as Lanfear, dramatically embracing Rand, confirming the show's adaptation of this captivating storyline.

6 Nynaeve & Egwene Become Novices

Nynaeve and Egwene can be seen wearing white attire in the trailer for season 2 of The Wheel of Time. This indicates that they will soon become novices once they return to the White Tower. In the series, starting as a novice is the initial stage of Aes Sedai training, with the next step being Accepted. The idea of Egwene and Nynaeve returning to the White Tower to acquire the ways of the Aes Sedai was strongly hinted at in season 1, and it is now confirmed in the season 2 trailer.

In The Great Hunt, a part of Nynaeve and Egwene's storyline revolves around their engagement with the politics of the White Tower while learning to channel. It seems that season 2 will follow a similar path. Although season 1 showcased their impressive power, particularly Nynaeve's, they still have much to learn about the intricacies of the One Power and the numerous weaves they can create.

5 Nynaeve & Egwene Make Friends With Elayne

Ceara Coveney’s Elayne Trakand, a character who was strangely absent in season 1, stirs up several questions. Elayne actually appears earlier in the story than the discovery of Rand as the Dragon Reborn in The Eye of the World, but her introduction has been postponed. In the books, Rand first encounters Elayne when he accidentally finds himself in the palace of Andor. This brief meeting sparks Elayne's infatuation with Rand, but they do not meet again for a considerable amount of time. Elayne resurfaces in The Great Hunt when she arrives at the White Tower and befriends Nynaeve and Egwene. The three of them form a close-knit trio, and share numerous adventures together.

The scene in The Wheel of Time season 2 trailer where Elayne is seen talking to Egwene confirms their friendship and suggests that Elayne will indeed go through novice training alongside them in Amazon’s series. However, it is unclear whether her encounter with Rand has been omitted altogether, delayed, or will still happen before she starts her training as a novice. What remains evident is that Wheel of Time is committed to portraying Elayne as the crucial ally to Nynaeve and Egwene, just as she is portrayed in the books.

4 Wheel Of Time Reveals Mat Hasn't Been Fully Healed Yet

In The Wheel of Time season 1, Moiraine supposedly healed Mat of the corruption caused by the ruby-hilted dagger. Initially, this healing seemed to deviate from the original source material, as in the books, Mat wasn't healed until the Aes Sedai collaborated to expel the corruption from him at the White Tower in The Dragon Reborn. In The Eye of the World, Moiraine's efforts only temporarily delayed the effects, but the series implied that she resolved the issue entirely. However, Mat's uneasiness when he sees the dagger in the season 2 trailer confirms what was suggested in the ending of Wheel of Time episode 6 – that Mat has not yet fully returned to his normal state.

3 The Seanchan Acquire The Horn Of Valere

Padan Fain absconded with the Horn of Valere at the end of season 1 of The Wheel of Time, fleeing to unknown territories. While the television series did not explicitly reveal his destination, details from the books suggest that the Seanchan, the newly introduced antagonists, would eventually come into possession of the Horn. In The Great Hunt, High Lord Turak of the Seanchan ends up acquiring the Horn, setting the stage for a showdown between him and Rand al'Thor. The trailer hints at a Seanchan character, possibly Turak, opening the Horn's container.

2 Siuan Sanche Warns Rand About His Destiny

Early in The Great Hunt, Rand had a transformative conversation with Moiraine and Siuan. They revealed to him the truth about his destiny as the Dragon Reborn and cautioned him about the immense power he possesses. Although Rand is already aware of this information in the TV series, a confrontation between him and Siuan awaits in the near future. Mirroring his book counterpart, in The Wheel of Time season 2 trailer, Rand voices his concerns about being controlled, saying, "I’m tired of being a spoke in the wheel."

1 Egwene Is Collared By The Seanchan

Egwene appears to be in immense distress in a particular scene of season 2, showcasing a plated object draped over her shoulders. The books reveal that this scene is an adaptation of a significant event from The Great Hunt, where the Seanchan inflict a "collar" upon Egwene. In The Wheel of Time universe, the Seanchan utilize leashes on women who possess the ability to channel, effectively enslaving them as they are referred to as damane. Damane endure severe punishments for disobedience towards their masters, and Egwene seems destined to undergo a similar harrowing experience, as depicted by her agonized expression in the trailer.
