The Wheel of Time: Amazon Series Adaptation Adds 3 More To Cast

If it's Wednesday then it must be time for another meeting of "The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Book Club," which once again got fans up-to-speed on Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" novels ahead of the streamer's fantasy series adaptation debut. Of course, along with the discussion usually comes more casting news, and it's a tradition that continued this week. Fans are being asked to extend a warm, friendly welcome to Maria Doyle Kennedy (Outlander) as Illa, Narinder Samra (Shadow and Bone) as Raen, and Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders) as Aram.
