Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins discusses the Season 2 finale's epic battle, resurrecting a fan-favorite character, that new Forsaken, and more.
It may be hard to believe, but we've already reached the conclusion of Season 2 of Prime Video's adaptation of The Wheel of Time — but with that especially chilling cliffhanger, it's clear that Rand and his close-knit group of allies have never been in more danger. While all roads have been leading to Falme over the last several weeks, the finale finally saw everyone converging on the city for an epic battle that plays out on all sides.
RAFE JUDKINS: In Book 2 of Wheel of Time, Moiraine and Lan only had one chapter together. So we really looked at that chapter and tried to see the core of what's going on there, and what goes on there is this breakup and makeup of Lan and Moiraine. She tries to drive him away, and he is resolute and dogged and will not walk away from her no matter what she tries to do.
JUDKINS: We've left little hints through Episodes 6 and 7 of Egwene actually processing what's going on between them. You see her watch the weaves that are linking, you see her eventually see Renna talk about the light that she has and the weaves that she's making. You can actually track Egwene’s little subtext journey through the season as she realizes what's really going on with the sul’dam.
JUDKINS: We try to do a lot of circular storytelling in the show. It sort of fits with the theme of the books, but also, it lets you come back to these things again. He lost in the same scene in Season 1 because he was alone and because he tried to push his friends away, and that's what his story is the whole season.
The last scene of the finale puts us in a room with Lanfear, who I personally have become a huge fan of this season. I'm ready to swear allegiance to the Dark One. It’s fine! I think it would be a great personal decision for me.Exactly. But all the seals have been broken as Ishamael’s one last chess move, and we get our first look at Moghedien.
