Based on the popular books by Robert Jordan, The Wheel Of Time is set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it.
The series follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organisation called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers.
There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.
We spoke to the series’ stars Josha Stradowski And Marcus Rutherford, who play Rand al’Thor and Perrin Aybara respectively, about discovering the books, learning how to ride a horse and watching Harry Potter at Christmas…
