The Wheel of Time: Amazon Series Casts Darren Clarke as Basel Gill

Another Wednesday means another session of "The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Book Club," which has joined Skybound's The Walking Dead "Who Is…?" video series to fill the hole in my heart left by the Stranger Things writers closing the doors on their "Video Store Fridays." Once again, while getting fans up-to-speed on Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" novels ahead of the streamer's fantasy series adaptation debut, we were also introduced to the newest member of the ever-expanding cast: Darren Clarke as Basel Gill, innkeeper of The Queen's Blessing in Caemlyn.

Amazon Prime's The Wheel of Time stars Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, Josha Stradowski as Rand al'Thor, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al'Meara, Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon, Madeleine Madden as Egwene al'Vere, Daniel Henney as al'Lan Mandragoran, Michael McElhatton as Tam al'Thor, Álvaro Morte as Logain Ablar, Hammed Animashaun as Loial, Alexandre Willaume as Thom Merrilin, Johann Myers as Padan Fain, and Jennifer Cheon Garcia as Leane Sharif.

The series also stars Priyanka Bose as Alanna Mosvani, Emmanuel Imani as Ihvon, and Taylor Napier as Maksim.
