The Wheel of Time Showrunner Teases Season 3 Opener

Early last year, Judkins dropped a ten-ton tease about the opening of the third season – dropping the heads-up during the Deadline Studio at Prime Experience. Appearing with Pike, Daniel Henney, costume designer Sharon Gilham, and make-up/hair designer Davina Lamont, Judkins looked to prepare viewers who might be expecting Season 3 to start off on a quiet, introspective note. "The first 15 minutes of Season 3 is one of the most bonkers set pieces I've ever seen on television," Judkins shared during the conversation. "I was just watching it this week, and it is absolutely bananas what our team pulled off … just a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s shredding each other, and it is wonderful to behold."
