Wheel Of Time Season 3 Cast & Character Guide

The Wheel of Time returns on Amazon Prime Video for its third season with a long list of new and returning cast members. After The Wheel of Time’s season 2 ending, which adapted the second volume in the book series, The Great Hunt, the TV series’ cast was left with depleted numbers due to the deaths of several characters. Luckily, this has created room on the roster for several new figures from Robert Jordan’s fantasy universe to take their places.

Naturally, one would imagine that The Wheel of Time’s season 3 story would pick up with the next book, The Dragon Reborn. However, the TV adaptation is skipping ahead to The Shadow Rising, with the intent to return to book 3’s critical events later on. With that in mind, integral characters from both books and previous book characters who hadn’t joined the show yet were added to the cast, resulting in the exciting additions of characters like Elaida and Queen Morgase.

Rosamund Pike as Moiraine

Date of Birth: 1979

Actor: Rosamund Pike is an English actress whose breakout role was as the Bond girl in Die Another Day, which has led her to a prominent career in movies and television.

She’s The Wheel of Time’s top-billed actress and a producer on the series.

Character: Rosamund Pike is Moiraine Damodred in The Wheel of Time, a member of the Aes Sedai who can wield the One Power. Moiraine kicks off the events of the series as she and her warder, Lan, search for the Dragon Reborn, finding Rand and the others in the Two Rivers.

Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon

Date of Birth: August 31, 1995

Actor: Dónal Finn is a young, up-and-coming star from Ireland whose most prominent role so far has been in The Wheel of Time.

Character: Mat Cauthon is the lovable rogue of The Wheel of Time universe. He left the Two Rivers with his friends, but he’s the one least accustomed to responsibility, and has little desire to be a hero at the beginning.
