The Lord of the Rings isn’t the only massive fantasy series that Amazon has in the works, as they’ve also been developing an adaptation of Robert Jordan’s best-selling fantasy series The Wheel of Time for several years. We’ve begun to see bits and pieces of the series recently and we’ve got a few Wheel of Times images courtesy of Entertainment Weekly that you can check out below.

Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story of The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity… Amazon is obviously quite pumped on the series, and they already renewed it for a second season back in May.

Wheel of Time is the first fantasy series that really dove into the political and cultural worlds of all these different characters,” said The Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins “It was also one of the first to dive into multiple POV characters, so you’re following an ensemble, with each of them having their own agendas and approaches to everything. That’s always felt to me like the missing piece of the fantasy-literature landscape that hasn’t been brought to TV or film yet.The Wheel of Time doesn’t have an exact release date just yet, but it will debut on Amazon Prime this November.
