Rafe Judkins has teased that they’ll portray 'two of the most important characters', but there's no word on who those are yet. Natasha O’Keeffe ( Misfits, Filth) and Meera Syal ( Paddington 2, Doctor Who) have also been cast in undisclosed roles. In the novels, Elayne is Queen of Andor and Cairhien, and one of the most powerful Aes Sedai. If The Wheel of Time's second season diverges from the books, we may not see Liandrin or Min return, even though they have roles in the second and third novels, aka The Great Hunt and The Dragon Reborn, which season 2 is based on.Ĭeara Coveney – in her first major acting role – will portray a hugely significant character in Elayne Trakand.

Why 'might' and not 'will'? The first season’s plot pulled from multiple books in Robert Jordan’s book series, while Judkins took some creative liberties with the story in the source material. Of the supporting cast members we haven't listed above, Kate Fleetword’s Liandrin and Kae Alexander’s Min Farshaw might be back. Alexandre Willaume's Thom Merrilin has also confirmed he isn't returning (per The Mighty Dragon podcast (opens in new tab)). In September 2021, we reported Harris was no longer part of the cast, with no reason given for his departure. Dónal Finn ( Cursed) is the only new main cast member among them, replacing Mat Cauthon as the actor responsible for portraying Barney Harris. Nine of the first 10 actors on the list above reprise her respective roles from season 1. Here's the The Wheel of Time season 2's confirmed cast so far:
