Some of these new pairings on The Wheel of Time season 2 make a lot of sense, while others are likely to upset fans of the books.
Take a look at the new posters below and then we'll dive into why one poster in particular is somewhat alarming.
While most of the pairings on the Wheel of Time season 2 posters seem logical, novel readers are going a little bonkers at the moment seeing Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) paired with the Aiel warrior, Aviendha (Ayoola Smart). In the novels, the two characters have very little interaction.
In the books, Perrin does have a meaningful relationship with three Aiel- Gaul, Chiad, and Bain. Seeing him pictured with Aviendha has some fans worried that the threesome have been cut from the series.
In particular, fans are worried about Gaul, who is a close confidant of Perrin and helps the blacksmith develop into the leader he needs to become as the narrative moves towards Tarmon Gai'don aka The Last Battle.
Perhaps Gaul's introduction will be saved for season 3? We'll have answers when The Wheel of Time season 2 premieres on September 1. Three episodes will be released on the premiere date before the show moves to a weekly format.
The lives of five young villagers change forever when a strange and powerful woman arrives, claiming one of them is the child of an ancient prophecy with the power to tip the balance between Light and Dark forever. They must choose whether to trust this stranger – and each other – with the fate of the world before the Dark One breaks out of His prison, and the Last Battle begins.
