Post Covid Special to Debut on Paramount+ on Thanksgiving



The official trailer has just been released for The Wheel of Time, the upcoming Prime Video series based on the best-selling book series of the same name. The first three episodes of season 1 will premiere on Friday, Nov. 19, with new episodes airing weekly on each Friday thereafter, culminating with the season finale on Dec. 24. You can check out the new trailer below, though viewing it on YouTube will offer an immersive experience for viewers to view the traditional 2-D trailer in a virtual, 3-D “wheel.”

The immersive trailer utilizes YouTube’s 360 player and spatial audio surround sound. Per the press release, when fans arrive at the YouTube page to watch the trailer, a quick scan to the left or right will reveal there is much more to experience. To the left of the screen, they’ll discover Moiraine’s (Rosamund Pike) powerful “One Power” channeling-featuring her voice and faces, artifacts, and symbols hidden amongst the energy weaves.

On the right, the corruption of the Dark One represents a dissention into madness. The trailer also features spatial audio that gives fans a more immersive experience as objects appear from either side of the “wheel.” The result is a unique utilization of existing technology that creates a trailer experience unlike any other-one that offers multiple viewing experiences for fans of the series.

The Wheel of Time is one of the most popular and enduring fantasy series of all time, with more than 90 million books sold. Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.

Based on Robert Jordan’s best-selling fantasy novels, The Wheel of Time was adapted for television by executive producer/showrunner Rafe Judkins. Larry Mondragon and Rick Selvage of iwot productions, Mike Weber, Ted Field of Radar Pictures, Darren Lemke, Marigo Kehoe, and Uta Briesewitz will also serve as executive producers, with Briesewitz set to direct the first two episodes. Rosamund Pike will serve as producer and Harriet McDougal and Brandon Sanderson as consulting producers. The Wheel of Time is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.

Amazon has clear confidence that The Wheel of Time will be a success for Prime Video. Ahead of the first season’s premiere, the show has already been renewed for a second season. Of the renewal, Judkins said, “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. Getting a second season order before the first season has even premiered is such a vote of confidence in the work we are doing and the property itself, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to continue to live and work in the world Robert Jordan created.”

Judkins added: “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.” The Wheel of Time is set to premiere on Prime Video on Nov. 19, 2021.
