The Wheel of Time Posts Clapperboard Image Confirming Season 2 Start

After a bit of spoiler confusion back in May about when the news of a second season would officially release, fans of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time' novels learned not only that Amazon and showrunner Rafe Judkins' (Chuck, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) series adaptation would be returning for a second go-around but also that the premiere season would be hitting screens in 2021. Then Judkins returned last week, recording a video for the start of JordanCon 2021 (a sci-fi/fantasy literature convention in honor of Jordan) to confirm that he was in Prague "just getting started on Season 2" before promising that there's a lot more content coming out soon and that fans should expect a trailer by the end of the summer. Well, he wasn't kidding about getting started on the second season because the series' social media accounts shared a look at the clapperboard (director: Thomas Napper) designating that today was the start of filming on the second season. Back in May, fans learned that the opening episode was entitled "A Taste of Solitude", written by Amanda Kate Schuman (The Blacklist, Berlin Station).

Here's a look back at the tweet from earlier today confirming the news:

Now here's a look at Judkins's video kick-off message from JordanCon 2021:
