Amazon Prime has released a new teaser for its “The Wheel of Time” TV series adaptation of Robert Jordan’s popular fantasy book series starring Rosamund Pike.
The teaser reveals the introduction of a sword bearing the heron mark. Creator Rafe Judkins popped up on Twitter following the clip’s premiere to answer questions about the lavish big-budget series.
He revealed that the narrative structure of the show’s first season won’t be a direct adaptation of just the first book – rather the show will be adapting the saga as a whole:
“We’re approaching this as an adaptation of the entire series, not just each book individually, so hopefully Season 1 will feel more like the entire book series of Wheel of Time than it does like Eye of the World [the first of the fourteen books]. With that in mind – no Moiraine staff. Let chaos ensue, ha.”
“The Wheel of Time” is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime sometime in 2021.
