The Wheel of Time: Amazon Confirms Season 2 For Real This Time

A day after the news of a second season renewal was confirmed and then unconfirmed over the course of about five minutes and one single tweet on Wednesday, Amazon and showrunner Rafe Judkins (Chuck, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) made it official on Thursday. The streaming service's live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels will be getting a second season- and as we shared yesterday, the show's Twitter account posted (then pulled and now reposted) a look at the cover to the Season 2 script. Specifically, Episode S02E01 "A Taste of Solitude," written by Amanda Kate Schuman (The Blacklist, Berlin Station)- who IMDB lists as writing S01E02 "Shadow's Waiting."

"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," said Judkins. "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 two just keeps expanding the world we built in season one." Here's a look at the now-not-deleted tweet making it official:
