The Wheel of Time keeps turning out new cast members for its third season. Today, Prime Video announced five more actors we’ll see in upcoming episodes, including what characters they’ll be playing.
Here’s the rundown of the new faces we’ll see and their respective roles:
Isabella Bucceri (Finally Me, Everything in Between) plays Faile Bashere, a Saldaean Hunter of the Horn, whose efforts to locate a treasured relic have led her to The Two Rivers.
Nukâka Coster-Waldau (Thin Ice, Anori) portrays eldest Wise One, Bair, the most respected member of the Taardad Aiel. Her authority and wisdom are held in higher regard even than that of the Clan Chief. Along with being able to channel the One Power, she has access to an even more mystical ability.
Salóme Gunnarsdóttir (The Lazarus Project, Justice League) plays Melaine, a Wise One of the Taardad Aiel. Despite not being able to channel, she is able to access a more mystical power.
Björn Landberg (German series Galileo Mystery, Unter uns) is Rhuarc, the well-respected Clan Chief of the Taardad Aiel. Having passed the trial of Rhuidean to become Chief, he is one of the few Aiel who knows what lies within the fog, though he is forbidden to speak of it.
Synnøve Macody Lund (Ragnarok, Saw X) plays Melindhra, a Malkieri survivor who was taken in and raised by the Taardad Aiel.
You’ll notice that four of the actors are portraying those connected to the Aiel, strongly hinting that we’ll spend more time with them in the third season. The fifth character—Faile—also plays a significant part in the story, particularly with Perrin, which I won’t spoil here for non-readers.
The new list of characters also confirms that—just like Robert Jordan’s fantasy series—the Prime Video show helmed by Rafe Judkins will have a plethora of new characters, something that will likely cause enlivened discussion for fans of the books.
The third season of The Wheel of Time premieres on Prime Video on March 13, 2025.
