The Wheel of Time: Rafe Judkins Starting Season 2; Trailer Update

A little more than two weeks after Amazon and showrunner Rafe Judkins (Chuck, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) confirmed that their live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels would premiere in 2021, Judkins is back with some more updates. Recoding a video for the start of today's first day of JordanCon 2021 (a sci-fi/fantasy literature convention in honor of Jordan), Judkins started off by confirming 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.

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