According to Deadline, Rafe Judkins, showrunner stated, “The belief Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television have shown in The Wheel of Time has been incredible to see throughout the entire process of making this show. Getting a second season order before the first season has even premiered is such a vote of confidence in the work we are doing and the property itself, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to continue to live and work in the world Robert Jordan created.”

He continued to add, “This property is one I’ve loved since I was a teenager, and seeing it brought to life with the resources to make it truly worthy of what’s on the page is something I can’t wait for the other fans of the books to see. And Season 2 just keeps expanding the world we built in Season 1.”
The Wheel of Time Season 2 Potential Release Date
As of May 12, 2022, there is no announced release date for The Wheel of Time Season 2. However, based on fan speculation and the release date of the previous season, it is expected to premiere sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. We should stress that this is merely an assumption, as Amazon Studios will reveal the official release dates once Season 2’s post-production is completed.

Because the series is an epic fantasy television series, the upcoming season will almost certainly require a lengthy post-production process due to the numerous sets, costumes, locations, and special effects. As a result, the official release dates will take some time. Until then, we recommend that fans wait patiently and rewatch Season 1 of The Wheel of Time to return to this realm of fantasy.
The Wheel of Time Season 2 Plot
The fourteen-volume Wheel of Time novel series was written by Robert Jordan until his death in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, a fellow fantasy writer, completed the series with A Memory of Light, which was released in 2013. Fans and critics alike praise the series, with many hailing it as a modern fantasy classic.

So, many reports suggest that the novels will play a greater part in incorporating the potential plotlines in the upcoming season. It is also reported that season two will follow Moiraine, a member of the Aes Sedai, an all-female organization in a world where only specific women can wield its magic, which will be the main focus of the upcoming season.
According to, Deadline, Co-Head of Television at Amazon Studios Vernon Sanders added, “The Wheel of Time is a beloved series of fantasy novels from Robert Jordan, renowned for the rich world and diverse characters he created. The approach Rafe and his team have taken with this project is a testament to Amazon Studios’ commitment to delivering something special for devoted fans around the world. In partnership with the team at Sony Pictures Television, we wanted our Prime Video customers to be delighted that a second season is already in the works so that they would know that the journey would continue.”
“From the moment we pitched the Amazon Studios team, we realized they shared the same excitement as we did about this brilliant project based on Robert Jordan’s series of best-selling novels and that we were all creating a very special and extraordinary spectacle,” said Jeff Frost, President of Sony Pictures Television.
“Receiving a second season pickup right after wrapping Season one, exemplifies their dedication to and belief in this series. We can’t wait for audiences globally to experience the magic that Rafe, our other talented producers, Rosamund and the rest of the cast and crew have created.”

On the other hand, the first episode’s title is A Taste of Solitude, according to a post from The Wheels of Time’s official Twitter account as seen above. This is the title of a chapter in the sixth book in the series. So, fans can expect to see that the second season, will blend plotlines from Book Two, The Great Hunt, and Book Three, The Dragon Reborn, according to Rafe Judkins on the Empire Spoiler Special Film Podcast.
