We see reactions from the main characters, and it’s Nynaeve (Robbins) who first speaks to Lan – surely exciting readers of the books who know what’s coming for their characters. Perrin (Rutherford) references some kind of ceremony that Egwene went through earlier, but before the two can get too much further into revealing anything, Moiraine (Pike) and Lan (Henney) make their appearance as Aes Sedai and Warder. Rand (Stradowski) stands against a wall and watches Egwene, and we see hints of the love story that will be at the center of this first season. The clip shows Egwene (Madden) serving drinks at her parents’ inn in the Two Rivers, the village where the book begins. It’s the moment that these kids who live in this mountain village, their life is never the same from the moment that walks into town. So, it’s that moment that kind of activates everything in the Wheel of Time. It’s cool because it’s when we get to see all of the lovely people on this panel really interact together and be in the same room for the very first time in the series. Judkins described it as “Moiraine’s first arrival in the Two Rivers.
“I think if people can just see it up on the screen and feel like at its heart it feels like the books, in that intangible way, then we will have done our job,” he said.Ī clip of the show premiered during the panel. He wanted to make sure that readers would recognize the series, and that new viewers would be intrigued. When asked how he tackled adapting such a long-running series, Judkins said it was more about the heart than sticking strictly to every plot point of the books. Judkins was at San Diego Comic-Con over the summer to provide an overview of Amazon’s adaptation of Robert Jordan’s 14-book American fantasy series, but with the premiere just over a month out, NYCC ticket holders were given a much more concrete view. Showrunner Rafe Judkins and castmembers Rosamunde Pike, Daniel Henney, Josha Stradowski, Marcus Rutherford, Zoë Robbins, and Madeleine Madden joined Nerdist’s Amy Ratcliffe to discuss what viewers can expect from the show’s first season, alongside a sneak peek and some exciting casting news for the already greenlit second season. Amazon’s forthcoming fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, had an eventful panel at New York Comic Con today.
