  1. Nearly four months have passed since the unceremonious cancellation of The Wheel of Time show. Despite virtually no known news or movement behind the scenes, fans of the show remain passionate and continue to share their hopes of the show being saved. And through those four long months, one voice among the cast and crew has been there consistently, championing our passion with her own: Sharon Gilham. Those familiar with Sharon's instagram page are more than aware that she has been an unending source of behind the scenes photos and videos for Season 2 & 3 of The Wheel of Time. Through the SAG/AFTRA & WGA strikes, when virtually no promotion could be done for the show, Sharon continued to post new reels, photosets, mood boards, and concept art. To say that she is as passionate as we are wouldn't do her justice. If you were lucky enough to attend WotCon 2025, you would have also had the chance to see some of her costume designs from the Season 3 Finale on display, maybe you even had a chance to talk to her like I did! Well if you missed that chance, or if even if you didn't, Sharon has yet another gift for us all. Beginning November 14th through December 5th, there will be an official Costume Exhibition in Gallery Manes, Prague, featuring over 80 costumes from The Wheel of Time! Not only will you get to SEE the costumes in person, you will also gain insight into each stage of the design and making process, including sketches, prototypes, interviews with the design team and crafts people. You can find out more, and RSVP for your spot, at the link here! "But Kevin, I don't live anywhere near Prague and could never get there in time!" Ah, fear not, humble reader! Sharon herself, in the comments of the post announcing this event, stated: "I'm hoping if this is a success we could tour it globally..." So, you have your mission: Spread the news far and wide! Help make this event a success, and MAYBE they could come to a city near you! And thank you, Sharon, for being so gracious with sharing your creativity with us and the world. Follow the official instagram account for the exhibit here for future updates!
  2. As the dust continues to settle from the cancellation of The Wheel of Time show, and the fans continue to make waves in hopes for a savior, a familiar name is making moves of her own. Rick Selvage, the CEO of iwot studios, has announced that Sarah Nakamura, story and loremaster consultant for the aforementioned WoT show, has joined the company as Creative Producer, focused on Narrative & Engagement. In this new role, Sarah will oversee the narrative development, brand storytelling, and fan engagement across all iwot studio initiatives, as well as represent iwot studios at all fan conventions and industry conferences worldwide. In addition to this, there will also be a new forthcoming Wheel of Time branded video podcast series, hosted by Sarah Nakamura, which will feature: Exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes access to iwot studios projects Interviews with directors, actors, game developers, and more! Sarah Nakamura provided comment on this news, saying: “For three seasons, I served as a story and lore consultant on the highly successful Sony/[Prime Video] series, always focused on fidelity to canon. That experience prepared me for this new role, where I’ll guide creative decisions and ensure every project remains true to the heart and mythology of the series. I’ve loved this world for as long as I can remember, and it’s an honor to help bring it to life in new, immersive ways.” iwot studios, formerly known as Red Eagle Entertainment, is perhaps most well known within the fandom for the (rather obscure) first attempted pilot for The Wheel of Time, titled ‘Winter Dragon’ (2015). Following the initial success of the show on Prime Video, many new projects and productions from the iwot team have been announced that, as of yet, have not come to fruition. With the addition of Sarah Nakamura to the team, one can hope that this could breathe new life and enthusiasm for the projects iwot has in the works for The Wheel of Time universe, which currently includes: Age of Legends, a live action origin film directed by award-winning filmmaker Kari Skogland The White Tower, A 3D animated feature in collaboration with Quebec’s acclaimed Squeeze Animation Studios An ambitious AAA game from iwot sames (sister division of iwot productions), which claims to be an “open world RPG set in The Wheel of Time universe” Rick Selvage commented on the decision to add Sarah to their team, stating: “Sarah’s experience, expertise, and deep passion for The Wheel of Time make her the ideal person to guide our transmedia creative efforts. Her commitment to preserving the integrity of the series is unmatched, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back to the team.” As of now, there is no reported timeline or expectation on when fans should hope to see any of these projects manifest on their screens. The cancellation of The Wheel of Time on Prime Video has done no favors to the expectations fans have for the future of The Wheel of Time media beyond the books, but perhaps the addition of Sarah will be the spark that is needed to see these projects through. We wish nothing but the best for Sarah, and hope she finds success and fulfillment in her new ventures with iwot studios!
  3. In the latest press release from Prime Video, more exciting details about the online fan event this Saturday were finally revealed! So let's do a quick recap of everything we know about this event from this press release! The digital watch-party will begin at 10am PT on Saturday, March 8th 2025 Debuting at the start of the event, prior to Episode 301, is Unraveling The Wheel of Time, a unique two-part behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first two seasons of the series. The first episode of Season 3 will be premiered in full after the behind-the-scenes look. After the episode, they will be airing the pre-recorded Q&A from The Dusty Wheel Live event in London, hosted by Matt Hatch as he interviews Rosamund Pike, Marcus Rutherford, Ceara Coveney, and show-runner Rafe Judkins. Special messages from Rosamund Pike will be sprinkled in throughout the event! Hyped yet? You should be! If you STILL have not yet RSVPed for this event, you can still register at this link here! Hope to see you all there!
  4. The seals on the press junket embargo have finally been broken, and WoT fans will have been flooded with new interviews that occurred on a recent press tour for Season 3 of The Wheel of Time. Dragonmount was lucky enough to secure three interviews. The first, recorded way back during The Comic-Con Expo in Brazil (CCXP), was conducted in person by our own Humberto Tramujas, who attended the convention representing Dragonmount. He was lucky enough to interview Showrunner Rafe Judkins, Madeleine Madden (Egwene al'Vere) and Josha Stradowski (Rand al'Thor). In this interview, we were able to learn a bit more about their favorite dinosaurs, as well as a hint towards a new Shadow Spawn in season 3 (and one tragic Shadow Spawn that keeps getting left on the cutting room floor). And good news: still statistically the best! You can watch this CCXP interview in full here! The second interview was with Marcus Rutherford (Perrin Aybara) and Donal Finn (Mat Cauthon), as part of the official press junket, and was conducted by our fearless leader Kathy Campbell! In this interview, Donal reflects on accent work when learning to speak the Old Tongue, while Marcus reflects on Perrin finally meeting his falcon in Season 3 and the "Gentle Giant + Pocket Rocket" dynamic the two bring together. You can watch this interview with Marcus & Donal here! Our final interview was part of the same press junket, and Kathy was able to once more interview Rafe Judkins! In this interview, Rafe reflects on some of the changes made to the abilities of the Aiel Wise Ones, and talks about the essential book scenes needed to successfully bring the relationship between Siuan Sanche and Moiraine Damodred to the screen. Watch the solo interview with Rafe here! What did you like hearing the most about from these? Let us know!
  5. Today, in spectacular Wot Wednesday fashion, Prime Video released the FULL trailer for Season 3 of The Wheel of Time, with only one month remaining until the premiere on March 13th, 2025. If you’ve somehow ended up here without seeing the trailer yet, or you just want to give it another view, please indulge yourself now before continuing the article. Watch the Trailer here! Alright, you back now? One more rewatch? OK let’s get back to it. If you’ve avoided any Season 3 knowledge up to this point, then you may be surprised to learn that storylines of Season 3 are primarily based on The Shadow Rising (Book 4), potentially with a sprinkle of some Fires of Heaven (Book 5) as a treat. A common fan favorite among book readers, The Shadow Rising is often referred to as the book where “The Wheel of Time” becomes “The Wheel of Time”, with definitive scenes and chapters that truly set this series apart from other sci-fi/fantasy series. This trailer is full of glimpses of such scenes, bringing viewers to new locations such as the dangerous port-city of Tanchico, the throne room of Camelyn, the vast deserts of The Aiel Waste, and the forbidden city of Rhuidean within it. Meanwhile, in more familiar locations, tensions between the Aes Sedai reach a breaking point in The White Tower, as the armies of The Dark One gain more power and begin to move more openly in places like The Two Rivers. All of this, and likely so much more to come, when Season 3 of The Wheel of Time premieres on March 13th 2025. Much like the prior seasons, the first 3 episodes of the season will be included in the premiere, with weekly releases until the season finale on April 17th, 2025. But wait, there’s more! On a livestream yesterday, Matt Hatch, The Innkeeper of The Dusty Wheel, announced that he would be hosting an exclusive fan-screening event for Episode 1 of Season 3! This event will take place in London, on February 22nd, 3pm GMT, and will feature special guests Rosamund Pike & Showrunner Rafe Judkins, including a Q&A lead by the innkeeper himself. Interested? RSVP Here! First Come, First Serve! Still here and looking for a breakdown of every second of the trailer? In that case, you might be interested in one of the many trailer breakdown livestreams within the fandom! Join the conversation, and embrace your inner HCFF!
