The Wheel of Time – Explained: Rosamund Pike Talks "Aes Sedai"

With less than a month to go until Amazon and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' upcoming series adaptation of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time hits our screens, the streamer, showrunner & EP, and star Rosamund Pike (Moiraine) are taking part in a new social media series to get newbies up to speed on what they need to know about Jordan's universe (without spoilers).
