The second season of  The Wheel of Time has finally arrived on Prime Video, providing fans with a re-immersion into the iconic fantasy world created by Robert Jordan in his acclaimed book series of the same name.

Academy award nominee Rosamund Pike leads the cast as Cairhienin woman Moiraine Damodred, with season 2 taking place after the heroes were torn apart in the dramatic ending to season 1.

The first three episodes of season were released on Friday 1st September, with subsequent episodes set to drop on the streamer weekly.

The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time season 2 were released in one go, all dropping on Friday 1st September 2023.

From this point on, each new episode will be released on its own once a week, meaning fans can expect to see episode 5 arrive on Friday 15th September 2023.

Given the almost two year long wait between seasons 1 and 2, hopefully the weekly wait between each new episode of season 2 shouldn’t feel too long…

As with most Prime Video series, and in fact most series on streaming services as a whole, new episodes of The Wheel of Time will be released at midnight PST in the US, meaning fans in the UK can access them at 8am BST.

This means you don’t have to get up too early if you’re looking to catch each new episode at the earliest opportunity.

There will be a total of eight episodes in the second season of The Wheel of Time, the same number as were in the first season back in 2021.

However, don’t worry – that doesn’t mean there are only five episodes left in the whole series. On the contrary, the series has already been recommissioned for a third season, meaning there’s at least one more batch of episodes to look forward to in the future.
