The Wheel of Time Episode 5 Preview; "The Dragon Reborn" After-Show
With the fifth episode of the inaugural season of Amazon's Prime Video and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels set to hit streaming screens this Friday, we've got two things to share that we think you might just be interested in. If you've had a chance to catch up on the first four episodes, then we have the latest edition of the official behind-the-scenes after-show Inside the Wheel of Time to take you through anything and everything "The Dragon Reborn." And if you're someone who's looking more towards the future… did someone mention a new episode this week?
Here's a look at the tension-filled teaser that was released earlier today, ahead of this week's chapter "Blood Calls Blood" followed by a look at the episode overview:
The Wheel of Time Season 1 Episode 5 "Blood Calls Blood": Perrin and Egwene run into a familiar face; Mat and Rand see strange ones; Moiraine and Lan mourn their loss. Directed by Salli Richardson and written by Celine Song.
And on the most recent edition of the official The Wheel of Time after-show, Matt Hatch and actor Zoë Robins discuss her portrayal of Two Rivers Wisdom Nynaeve al'Meara. Also, the Inside the Wheel of Time panel breaks down the fourth episode, from Logain's story, the Aes Sedai, and if Mat is someone who can be trusted.
