The Wheel of Time S03 First 15 Minutes "Absolutely Bananas": Judkins

Prime Video's The Wheel of Time Showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins dropped a ten-ton Season 3 tease about what to expect from the first 15 minutes.

The last time we checked in with Prime Video & Showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins's Rosamund Pike-starring series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels, it was JordanCon, the annual science fiction/fantasy literature convention in Atlanta, Georgia, honoring the creator of the franchise's universe – with Pike offering a dramatic reading from Jordan's The Great Hunt that was truly epic. Now, Judkins is going on the record with 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." Here's a look back at the post from March that saw the cast announcing that filming on the third season had wrapped:

Let's not forget the upcoming Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Walking Dead)-directed feature film prequel, The Age of Legends. With a screenplay from Zack Stentz (Thor, X-Men: First Class), the film is the first in a planned trilogy that will explore how the world represented by Jordan in the author's works came to be. And since everyone's in a good mood, let's look back at some of the best moments not to be lost on the cutting room floor – with Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Madeline Madden, Zoe Robins, Josha Stradowski, Marcus Rutherford, Donal Finn, and more:
