With the second season currently in production on the second season of Amazon and showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins' series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels, we have some new casting news to report courtesy of Judkins during a virtual panel at JordanCon 2022. Killing Eve star Ayoola Smart has been tapped to play Aviendha, a Wise One of the Nine Valleys sept of the Taardad Aiel and one of the three lovers of Rand al'Thor. Smart joins previous recent additions to the cast, Guy Roberts, Arnas Fedaravicius, and Gregg Chillingirian.

With Uta Briesewitz set to direct the first two episodes, Roberts's Uno Nomeshta is a gruff one-eyed soldier and tracker who serves Lord Agelmar.

Thomas Chaanhing (Marco Polo) guest stars as Lord Agelmar, with Sandra Yi Sencindiver (The Bridge 4) guest-starring as Lady Amalisa.
