Major Amazon Fantasy Series Confirms Season 3 Date & First Footage



Key Takeaways

  • The Wheel of Time Season 3 is set to premiere in 2025 following the trailer debut at CCXP in Brazil.
  • The season focuses on Moiraine and Egwene saving Rand from the corruption of his powers.
  • The series has garnered positive reviews, with anticipation high for Season 3 adapting the next novel in Robert Jordan’s series.



The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is usually regarded as Amazon’s flagship fantasy series, but not to be forgotten is its equally expansive high-fantasy IP, The Wheel of Time. The series is gearing up for its third season on Prime Video and the first footage and premiere date has finally been confirmed.

The Wheel of Time is an adaptation of Robert Jordan’s long-running fantasy novel series. The series occurs in a world where only women can touch a magic source, the One Power. At the heart of the story is Moiraine, a member of the powerful female order, the Aes Sedai, who sets out on a mission to find the legendary Dragon Reborn, a powerful channeler who will either break or save the world from the Dark One. The Wheel of Time’s first season was released on Prime Video in 2021, with season 2 arriving two years later in 2023. Now Season 3 of The Wheel of Time has confirmed a return date for 2025.

The Wheel of Time Season 3 Release Date Confirmed

Debuting at CCXP in Brazil, The Wheel of Time Season 3’s first trailer confirms the series will premiere on March 13, 2025. A teaser feature just over a minute of new footage also hinted at the epic action to come in the third season, with Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) warning that in every future she’s seen, there’s not one where both she and Rand (Josha Straodwski) make it out alive. “I’ve seen a thousand, thousand futures. In every future where I live, Rand dies. And the only way he lives is if I don’t,” Moiraine warns. The official synopsis for The Wheel of Time Season 3 hints at dark times in the fantasy world, in which Moiraine and Egwene (Madeleine Madden) must work together to save Rand from the corruption of his powers.


“The threats against the Light are multiplying: The White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon … including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark, no matter the cost.”


The Wheel of Time has been largely well-received by audiences over its first two seasons. The debut season scored 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the second earned 86%. The series is often compared to Prime Videos’ The Rings of Power, which overshadows The Wheel of Time in terms of brand identity and budget. However, The Wheel of Time has proven itself popular, earning around 4.9 billion minutes of viewing time for its first season in 2021, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s breakdown of the Neilson numbers. Anticipation is high for Season 3 of The Wheel of Time as it moves to adapt the fourth novel in Jordan’s series, The Shadow Rising.

The Wheel of Time Season 3 will be released on Prime Video in 2025.
