Amazon MGM Studios has tapped Synnøve Macody Lund (Ragnarok, Saw X), Isabella Bucceri (Everything in Between), Nukâka Coster-Waldau (Thin Ice), Salóme Gunnarsdóttir (The Lazarus Project), and Björn Landberg (Galileo Mystery) to join The Wheel of Time Season 3 cast for the upcoming next installment of the hit fantasy drama. The series is slated to make its return on March 13, 2025 on Prime Video.
Listed below are the full character descriptions of the new cast members:
- Lund’s Melhindra – a Malkieri survivor who was taken in and raised by the Taardad Aiel.
- Bucceri’s Faile Bashere – a Saldaean ‘Hunter of the Horn,’ whose efforts to locate a treasured relic have led her to The Two Rivers.
- Coster-Waldau’s Bair – the eldest Wise One, who’s 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.
- Gunnarsdóttir’s Melaine – a Wise One of the Taardad Aiel. Despite not being able to channel, she is able to access a more mystical power.
- Landberg’s 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.

“At the end of Season 2, after defeating Ishamael, Rand reunites with his friends at Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn,” reads the show’s newest synopsis. “But in Season 3, the threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark… no matter the cost.”
