The Wheel of Time Season 2: Meera Syal Confirmed as Verin Mathwin

Amazon's Prime Video series The Wheel of Time has reportedly tapped Meera Syal (The Sandman) for the Season 2 role of Verin Mathwin.

We have some long-awaited & now confirmed casting news for the second season of Amazon & Showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins' Rosamund Pike (Moiraine)-starring live-action series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels to pass along. Thanks to the folks over at Nerdist, we've learned that Meera Syal (The Sandman) has been tapped for the role of Verin Mathwin. First introduced in Jordan's The Great Hunt, Verin is an Aes Sedai and a member of the Brown Ajah (who view learning & knowledge as the real path to power).

For a blink-and-you'll-miss-it recap of the first season and some very interesting previews of what's to come, here's a look at Amazon's The Wheel of Time Season 2:
