Meet the Stars of The Wheel of Time!

As a devotee, I must admit that while “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” may stir up more chatter, Prime Video’s other colossal budget fantasy series continues to captivate audiences worldwide as it embarks on its third season.

In simple terms, “The Wheel of Time” is an adaptation of Robert Jordan’s epic novels, featuring Academy Award-nominated actress Rosamund Pike in the role of the mysterious protagonist, Moiraine – a potent member belonging to a magical order called the Aes Sedai.

Towards the conclusion of the previous season, she successfully completed a lifelong goal by announcing the Dragon Reborn. However, the narrative doesn’t stop there, as an ominous army known as the Forsaken now poses a threat to his survival. This undoubtedly promises an exciting third installment.

Presently, let me provide you with a summary of the main actors and personas featured in The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Video – and it’s important to note that the number of characters is quite extensive!

Rosamund Pike plays Moiraine

As a passionate movie-goer, I’d put it this way: “I’ve come across Moiraine – she’s one of those Aes Sedai ladies, you know, the ones who can work magic? For two whole decades, she’s been on the hunt for the Dragon, a figure who could either save or end the world as we know it. In season 2, Ishamael stripped her of her power, but with the help of Lan and Rand, she managed to regain it.

Moiraine went on to declare Rand the Dragon that she had spent so much of her life searching for.

Has Rosamund Pike been in any other notable films or series? She has gained recognition for her performances in David Fincher’s Gone Girl adaptation, which earned an Academy Award nomination for her, as well as the biopic A Private War, the thriller I Care a Lot, and the dramatic film Saltburn.

Josha Stradowski plays Rand al’Thor

What is Rand al’Thor? Initially, he was a shepherd who joined Moiraine on her grand adventure. Throughout Season 1, it was uncovered that he was actually the Dragon Reborn. Following this discovery, he decided to travel alone and asked Moiraine to tell his companions that he has passed away.

On this solitary trail, he found himself enveloped in deeper shadows, even facing a life-threatening encounter with Ishamael. Miraculously, he was saved by Moiraine and his fellow comrades. Now, it appears he is ready to embrace his fate.

Has Josha Stradowski appeared in any other productions aside from The Wheel of Time? Yes, following his debut in this English project, he has also secured a part in the movie adaptation of the popular video game Gran Turismo.

Daniel Henney plays al’Lan Mandragoran

What is the identity of Lan Mandragoran? Lan Mandragoran essentially acts as a protector, or warder, to Moiraine. This role can be thought of as akin to that of a bodyguard. Their bond is deep and rooted in mutual respect, such that Lan would readily sacrifice himself for Moiraine at any given moment. In the second season, he played a crucial part in reviving her magical abilities.

Besides Criminal Minds, Daniel Henney has appeared in other notable roles such as Agent Zero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the voice actor for Tadashi Hamada in Disney’s Big Hero 6.

Marcus Rutherford plays Perrin Aybara

Who is Perrin? Perrin is one of Moiraine’s companions, initially known as a blacksmith. He uncovered an important artifact called the Horn of Valere at the end of season 1, but it was stolen by the deceitful Padan Fain. As he chased after Padan, his friends were captured by the Seanchan, prompting Perrin to journey across the continent in a mad dash to rescue them.

His trip unveiled the truth about his unique nature – he was actually a wolf-kin, possessing the ability to converse with wolves and experiencing enhanced senses similar to theirs.

Has Marcus Rutherford starred in any other productions aside from Obey, County Lines, and Bulletproof (Season 2)?

Barney Harris (season 1) and Dónal Finn (season 2) play Mat Cauthon

I’m just a regular guy like you, but fate seems to have other plans for me. Mat Cauthon is the roguish companion I found myself traveling alongside on an extraordinary journey, selected by Moiraine for a perilous quest. Initially, there were whispers that I might be the Dragon Reborn, but it turned out to be something far more intriguing and complex than anyone could have imagined.

His destiny took a more ominous course when his travel partner Min (who was covertly on Ishamael’s side) foretold that he would slay the Dragon Reborn. From then on, he found himself shackled to the Horn of Valere, a venerated artifact known for its power to summon heroes from past eras.

What else has Dónal Finn been in? Finn replaces Barney Harris, who portrayed Mat in season 1.

Showrunner Rafe Judkins expressed to Deadline that while Barney was challenging to write for in the first season, they were incredibly fortunate that he turned out to be so fantastic; he adores him on the show. Additionally, Donal Finn, portraying Mat in season 2, is simply outstanding.

I’ve observed him on set performing his scenes, and let me tell you, they are remarkable! They truly embody the character of Mat, making the transition between the actors seem effortless. I believe this speaks volumes about the depth and quality of the Mat character.

Among Finn’s previous works are Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and the TV series SAS: Rogue Heroes, broadcast on BBC One.

Ceara Coveney plays Elayne Trakand

Who is Elayne Trakand? She is the heir to the throne of Andor, a kingdom within the world of The Wheel of Time. In season 2, she becomes a novice alongside Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden) and Nynaeve al’Meara (Zoe Robins), as they strive to learn and harness the One Power within the White Tower.

Initially, the trio was captured by the Seanchan towards the end of the season. However, they managed to put aside their disputes to find a way out. Meanwhile, Elayne took it upon herself to heal the Dragon Reborn.

Has the actress Ceara Coveney starred in anything else, besides Netflix’s Young Wallander and the movie Hoard?

Sophie Okonedo plays Siuan Sanche

Who is Siuan Sanche? She currently holds the position of Amyrlin Seat within the White Tower, making her the head of the Aes Sedai. At present, she’s working hard to safeguard them from the dangerous plots orchestrated by Liandrin and her associates in the Black Ajah, who are covertly challenging her authority.

Besides Hotel Rwanda, Sophie Okonedo has also made notable appearances in shows like Flack, Criminal: UK, Ratched, and Britannia.

Madeleine Madden plays Egwene al’Vere

Egwene al’Vere is another channeler who fell into captivity by the malevolent Seanchan in the second season. After managing to break free, she joined forces against Ishamael and played a significant role in confirming Rand as the Dragon Reborn.

Has Madeleine Madden appeared in any other productions besides Dora and the Lost City of Gold and Ark: The Animated Series?

Zoë Robins plays Nynaeve al’Meara

Nynaeve al’Meara is initially a healer from a peaceful town, where Moiraine unexpectedly shows up one night. Over time, she has evolved into one of the most potent channelers in over a thousand years, though her powers are currently unstable due to an obstruction.

I’ve seen Zoë Robins bring her acting chops to life in various roles. She starred in the spine-tingling holiday horror film, Black Christmas, and graced our screens with her presence on fantasy series like The Shannara Chronicles and Power Rangers Ninja Steel.

Natasha O’Keeffe plays Lanfear

Who is Lanfear? She is one of the Darkfriends, a band of sorcerers who pledged allegiance to the Dark One during the conflict known as the War of Power. She was once in love with the first manifestation of the Dragon, Lews Therin Telamon. However, at the conclusion of season 2, she betrayed her supposed ally Ishamael; in retaliation, he released all the other Darkfriends – these individuals now pose a significant danger.

Is there anything else where viewers might have seen actress Natasha O’Keeffe besides the crime drama Peaky Blinders, the dark comedy-drama Filth, or the sci-fi series Misfits?

Shohreh Aghdashloo plays Elaida Do Avriny A’Roihan

Elaida is a member of the Red Ajah within the organization known as the Aes Sedai. She harbors a deep grudge against Moiraine and Siuan, having shared a complex and tumultuous past with them. Upon her return to The White Tower, she is determined to take significant actions to fulfill her desires.

Have you wondered about what other productions Shohreh Aghdashloo has been part of? Apart from her notable roles as Chrisjen Avasarala in The Expanse, Grayson in Arcane, and Nadia Maroni in The Penguin, she has also appeared in films such as Star Trek Beyond, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Renfield, and Damsel.

Olivia Williams plays Queen Morgase Trakand

Morgase is identified as the queen of Andor. After a tough battle against her political adversaries for the throne, she has managed to win over many with her fair and effective rule. She wishes to ensure that her daughter Elayne, who is set to take over one day, avoids the same tribulations when it’s her turn to reign.

As a cinephile reflecting on the diverse roles of the talented Olivia Williams, I found her recent portrayal of Camilla Parker Bowles in Netflix’s engrossing royal drama, The Crown, to be quite captivating. Beyond this, she has graced our screens as the mysterious psychic Cole in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, Lady Jessica Farlowe in Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune: Prophecy, and most recently as Anne, the daughter of Anthony Hopkins’ character in The Father.

Meera Syal as Verin Mathwin

Is Verin Mathwin known as the semi-retired Aes Sedai that guarded Moiraine and Lan during the second season?

As a devoted cinephile, I’ve enjoyed Meera Syal’s performances immensely, particularly in the legal drama “The Split” and the comedies “Yesterday” and “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger”. However, I’m curious to discover what other films or series she has graced with her talent.

Jay Duffy plays Dain Bornhald

Who does the name Dain refer to? Dain is a prominent member within the ranks of the Children of the Light. Tragically, his father met his end at the hands of Perrin in season 2, which has left him grappling with the choice between seeking retribution or upholding a just cause.

Has Jay Duffy starred in any other shows or movies besides Derry Girls on Netflix and Handsome Devil?

Álvaro Morte plays Logain Ablar

Logain Ablar is recognized as the False Dragon, a significant character within the realm of The Wheel of Time. After a fierce conflict, he was apprehended by the Aes Sedai following the battle’s conclusion.

Apart from his role as The Professor in Money Heist, is there any other project that Álvaro Morte has been involved in?

Maja Simonsen plays Chiad

Who is Chiad, you ask? She’s a maiden from the Stones River sept of the Goshien Aiel, specifically known as the Maiden of the Spear. In a unique bond, she serves as a first-sister to Bain.

Has Maja Simonsen appeared in any other productions? (Or, What more films or shows has Maja Simonsen been part of?)

Ragga Ragnars plays Bain

Who is Bain? Bain is a Maiden of the Spear of the Black Rock sect of the Shaarad Aiel.

Have there been any other productions where Ragga Ragnars has appeared besides the popular Amazon Prime series “Vikings”, where she portrayed the real-life character Gunnhild, Mother of Kings?

Who is Sheriam Bayanar? An Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah.
