Thu, July 21, 2022, the day before Comic-Con 2022, was big. There were these announcements:

  1. Behind the Scenes video of Season 2
  2. Rafe answering (some) WoT Season 2 questions
  3. Season 3 is green-lit
  4. New episodes of The Wheel of Time Origins coming in August

Still no release date for Season 2, though.

We're going to take a look at the first two and also how they affect our Season 2 Predictions.

Behind the Scenes (BTS) video of Season 2#

It all comes down to taking a look at the 34 stills that you can grab from the 1:02 minute video.

Q & A with Rafe#

Forsaken#

Q: Blink twice if we see more than one Forsaken! A:blink blink

I didn't have any Forsaken in my predictions, but it's nice to know that there will be more than one. Maybe I'll add something for Lanfear and Rand and maybe Semirhage with the Seanchan, which is who we might be seeing in screenshot 32.

Quarterstaff Fight#

Q: I have to ask. Gawyn (and I guess the lesser brother Galad) actually beat Mat in the warder training yard in the show right? Theres no way they lose on screen is there? A: This is an iconic scene from the book and we are building to a believable version of it in the show.  Hopefully.  Ha.

Confirmation that the quarterstaff fight is in season 2. I had that in there already, so no changes to the predictions.
