Major Plot Twist Revealed: Wheel of Time Season 2 Finale Shocks Viewers with Shocking Ingtar Darkfriend Scene!

Warning: Major spoilers for the Wheel of Time books.

Summary

In the season 2 finale of The Wheel of Time, a scene exposing Ingtar as a Darkfriend was omitted for better pacing and emotional impact.

Judkins suggests that the Darkfriend reveal may still occur in the future and commends Gregg Chillin's portrayal of Ingtar.

The showrunner of The Wheel of Time confirms that Ingtar's Darkfriend scene was omitted from the season 2 finale. Ingtar Shinowa, played by Gregg Chillin (known for his role in A Discovery of Witches), was a recent addition to the Wheel of Time series, portraying a Shienaran warrior leading the search for the Horn of Valere. However, in the original book series that serves as the basis for the Prime Video adaptation, Ingtar is also unveiled as a Darkfriend.

During a recent Q&A session in New York City, showrunner Rafe Judkins confirmed that a scene revealing Ingtar as a Darkfriend was omitted from the season 2 finale of Wheel of Time. This decision was made in order to prioritize emotional connection and maintain focus on the main characters. However, Judkins expressed the possibility of releasing the deleted scene in the future, praising actor Greg Chilligirian's performance and acknowledging the significance of the scene from the original books.

The Wheel of Time Is Taking A Patient Approach With Its Biggest Stories

In the fantasy realm of Wheel of Time, Darkfriends are ordinary individuals who have pledged allegiance to the Dark One. This oath is open to anyone, spanning all walks of life, including even queens. In the book titled The Great Hunt, the character Ingtar confides in Rand al'Thor, but the revelation is far from straightforward. Ingtar grapples with remorse and regret.

During the battle for Falme, the turning point comes when Ingtar switches sides once more, sacrificing himself to aid Rand and his companions. It is uncertain whether the Prime Video adaptation will depict Ingtar's death in the same manner, but this captivating storyline should not be disregarded in the midst of an already action-packed conclusion. The Wheel of Time not only advances its existing plotlines, but also carefully sets the stage for future story elements derived from the books.

In another part of the Prime Video series, a pivotal moment arises as Elayne (Ceara Covene) saves Rand's life, laying the foundation for their significant relationship. With confirmation of The Wheel of Time season 3 and future episodes planned, it is hoped that the series will continue to effectively portray the impactful emotional moments found within the books.
