Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time Season 3 Episodes 1-3.The Wheel of Time has finally returned to our screens with its third season, and the Prime Video adaptation isn't wasting any time (no pun intended) in emphasizing that the stakes are higher than ever before for our heroes. Not only is Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) forced to grapple with which path is the right one for him in the wake of declaring himself the Dragon Reborn, but he also has to deal with the efforts of other characters to sway him in a certain direction — including Moiraine (Rosamund Pike). As the trailer for Season 3 has already revealed, Rand and Moiraine's fates seem to be inextricably linked, with Moiraine revealing to her Warder, Lan (Daniel Henney), that she's glimpsed countless futures in which either she or Rand survive, but never both of them. It's unclear how this part of the story will play out over the course of the new season, but Rand is already proving himself to be someone who won't be manipulated.
