Production on the first season of the upcoming TV series Wheel of Time has wrapped. And with this, Amazon Studios announced that Season 2 has been greenlit.

Co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television, The Wheel of Time is based on the best-selling novels by Robert Jordan. The series follows a world where magic exists, but only a few women have the ability to use it.

"The belief Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television have shown in The Wheel of Time has been incredible to see throughout the entire process of making this show," said showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkins. "This property is one I've loved since I was a teenager, and seeing it brought to life with the resources to make it truly worthy of what's on the page is something I can't wait for the other fans of the books to see. And Season 2 just keeps expanding the world we built in Season 1."

We got our first look Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, who is a member of Aes Sedai, which is a female magical organization. They call the White Tower their home. Prior to this, a promo arrived in February, which you can see below.

"The Wheel of Time is a beloved series of fantasy novels from Robert Jordan, renowned for the rich world and diverse characters he created," said Co-Head of Television at Amazon Studios Vernon Sanders. "The approach Rafe and his team have taken with this project is a testament to Amazon Studios commitment to deliver something special for the devoted fans around the world. In partnership with the team at Sony Pictures Television, we wanted our Prime Video customers to be delighted that a second season is already in the works so that they would know that the journey would continue."

While Season 1 had wrapped, it's still unknown when The Wheel of Time will debut.
