Prime Video has just dropped a first look at the poster for the upcoming third season of its smash hit fantasy series, The Wheel of Time , and it looks like we’re heading to Rhuidean, the city in the Aiel Waste which was originally built by the Jenn Aiel, full of majestic but unfinished palaces. The series features Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al’Meara, Madeleine Madden as Egwene al’Vere, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon, and Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran. The cast also includes Kate Fleetwood as Liandrin, Priyanka Bose as Alanna, Hammed Animashaun as Loial, and Fares Fares as Ishamael, among others. The poster depicts Rand al’Thor carrying Moiraine through a desert landscape, heading to Rhuidean.
The second season of The Wheel of Time ended with some wild scenes and major developments that set the stage for the upcoming third season. The finale, titled “What Was Meant to Be,” wrapped up the Horn of Valere arc and includes the deaths of six characters from the original books by Jordan, which included major figures such as Ishamael and High Lord Turak. The season ended on a hugely dramatic note with the main characters reuniting in the city of Falme after a series of harrowing events and battles.
The third season finished filming back in March, with the news being shared on social media by the cast. Pike, Ayoola Smart, and Marcus Rutherford announced the completion saying, “That is a wrap for Season 3.” Henney, meanwhile, had the last word in the video as he hinted at the scope of what fans could hope and expect to see, adding that “It’s going to be very big.”

Speaking in May of this year, executive producer Rafe Judkins, joined by stars Rosamund Pike and Daniel Henney, as well as costume designer Sharon Gilham and make-up/hair designer Davina Lamont, participated in a discussion at the Deadline Studio while part of Prime Video‘s promotional push, and it was during that interview that Judkins opened up on the incredible scenes fans could expect when the characters return to our screens in 2025.
“The first 15 minutes of Season 3 is one of the most bonkers set pieces I’ve ever seen on television. I was just watching it this week and it is absolutely bananas what our team pulled off … just a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s shredding each other, and it is wonderful to behold.”
The Wheel of Time returns to Prime Video in 2025. Check out the first two seasons now, and stay tuned to Collider for more.
