Prime Video's The Wheel of Time Season 2 Behind-the-Scenes: Terror of The Trollocs

These fearsome foot soldiers of the Dark One’s army were first introduced in The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan’s best-selling Wheel of Time book series. Insatiable and bloodthirsty killing machines who exist to do the bidding of the Dark One and his key lieutenants, the Trollocs are genetically engineered super-soldiers who are a terrifying fusion of human and animal, and can take the shape of boars, bears, hawks, and other aggressive creatures.

In last week’s sneak peek of the Season Two cold open, which was based on the iconic ‘Darkfriend Social’ scene from Jordan’s second book, The Great Hunt, three vicious Trollocs were hypnotically tamed by one of the series key villains, played by actor Fares Fares.

The cast of Prime Video's The Wheel of Time offers fans a quick recap ahead of the season two premiere on September 1st. In the final episode of season one, Moiraine Damodred shared her concerns about an impending battle. The scene then transitioned to a breathtaking view of the shore, where a young girl gazed up at a magnificent fleet of warships, leaving viewers with a hint that something major was about to happen.

In the opening scene of the season two trailer, Moiraine stated that "Everyone has a choice, and every choice has a consequence." Raising an interesting question that many fans who (Like me) haven't read the book will be pondering. Was she talking about Rand al'Thor? It's definitely something to keep in mind as we eagerly await the new episodes.

If that wasn't enough to have you wishing that summer was already over, Prime Video announced that fans can now see a clip of the first scene from season two (Episode 201) at the end of the season one finale episode (108).

The bonus sneak peek of season two, episode one, reflects on the structure of the best-selling book series by Robert Jordan. In an additional homage to the show's inspiration, the opening scene to episode 201 is an adaptation of the fan-favorite Darkfriend Social prologue of the second novel of Jordan's series, The Great Hunt, in which season two is largely based on. Season Two of The Wheel of Time is also based on some elements of Jordan's third novel, The Dragon Reborn.

The series was filmed in the Czech Republic, Morocco, and Italy, and stars Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, I Care a Lot) as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney (Criminal Minds) as Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski (Gran Turismo) as Rand al'Thor, Zoë Robins (Power Rangers Ninja Steel) as Nynaeve al'Meara, Madeleine Madden (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Egwene al'Vere, Marcus Rutherford (Obey) as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn (Rogue Heroes) as Mat Cauthon, and Ceara Coveney (Young Wallander) as Elayne Trakand. The Wheel of Time is a co-production with Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.
