The official synopsis of The Wheel of Time Season 2, provided by Amazon Prime, gives us a glimpse into the new challenges our characters will face:

"Despite Rand's belief that he had vanquished the Dark One, evil still lingers in the world. New and ancient threats emerge, targeting the young friends from the Two Rivers who are now scattered across the world. The woman who once guided them is now powerless to assist, and so they must seek strength from other sources. They must rely on each other, themselves, and decide whether to embrace the Light or succumb to the Dark."

Similar to the first season, The Wheel of Time season 2 will consist of eight episodes. The initial release on September 1, 2023, featured the first three episodes, which were met with positive reception from viewers.
