On Wednesday, Prime Videos released the trailer of the second season of the fantasy drama The Wheel of Time. The series is based on the second novel in Robert Jordan's epic book series, The Great Hunt, as well as some elements of the third novel, The Dragon Reborn. The show has Rafe Judkins as the showrunner and is slated to release on September 1.

The official logline of the series reads," Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski, Gran Turismo) learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful sorceresses must reckon with his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. Though Rand thought he destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the world. In Season Two, threats, new and very old, seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they must find other sources of strength. In each other or themselves. In the Light ... or the Dark" 

Here is the trailer 

The series stars an ensemble cast including Gran Turismo, Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Zoë Robins, and Madeleine Madden, among others. The series is adapted for television by Rafe Judkins, who also serves as the executive producer and showrunner.

The Wheel of Time is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television Studios.
