The Wheel of Time Season 2 BTS Video: How Those Trollocs Came To Life

Learn how the Trollocs came to life in this BTS featurette for Prime Video & Rafe Judkins's Rosamund Pike-starring The Wheel of Time Season 2.

With less than a month to go until Prime Video & Showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins's Rosamund Pike (Moiraine)-starring The Wheel of Time hits our screens with a second season, Amazon is giving us a look at the more horrific side of the series adaptation's universe. First introduced in author Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World, the Dark One's insatiable and bloodthirsty killing machines, the Trollocs, are genetically engineered super-soldiers who are a grotesque mashup of human & animal, with the ability to take the shape of boars, bears, hawks, and other not-so-happy creatures. In the following featurette, Judkins, Pike, executive producer Mike Weber, executive producer & writer Justine Juel Gillmer, and makeup effects designer Nick Dudman unveil some of the meticulous artistry and technology that went into creating the creatures – a true mix of practical prosthetics & cutting-edge visual effects. In addition, viewers get a chance to check out the stunt work that went into the intense battle scenes with the Trollocs and more.

With the great hunt set to begin on September 1st, here's a look at that featurette, followed by a look back at the official trailer for Amazon's Prime Video series The Wheel of Time Season 2:
