Wheel of Time: Amazon Prime Series Casts Abdul Salis, Stuart Graham
We see what you're doing there, "The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Book Club." Sure, you've been doing a great job getting fans up-to-speed on Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series of novels before Amazon Prime's fantasy series adaptation debuts. But that whole "sneaking in casting news in the middle"? A particularly nice touch, and one that continued this week. Just before this week's session of #WOTWednesday wrapped, we learned that The Children of the Light were being welcomed into the show family, with Abdul Salis (Casualty) cast as Eamon and Stuart Graham (The Fall) cast as Geofram. Here's a look at the announcement tweet:
