New 'The Wheel of Time' Teaser Reveals Epic Logo for Amazon Fantasy Series
In a new teaser, Amazon has revealed the logo for the fantasy series The Wheel of Time starring Rosamund Pike. Rafe Judkins is serving as showrunner, who was also a writer and producer on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hemlock Grove, and Chuck. The new logo is a silver, metallic snake that spirals into itself, coiled. It looks incredibly impressive, and seems like the sigil of a great House in Game of Thrones.
The Wheel of Time is based on the high fantasy novels of the same name by Robert Jordan, which has over 14 books in its series — so Judkins will have plenty of material to draw from over the course of the show. The series follows Rand al’Thor, who leads a small and humble life in a small town called the Two Rivers. There is danger lurking, however, in the potential of attacks from the Dark One, an evil entity that wants to destroy everything. A sorceress by the name of Moiraine takes Rand and his friends away from their home, as she believes one of them might be the reincarnation of the Dragon, an ancient hero who is prophesized to either save or destroy the world. Pike has been naturally cast as Moiraine, joined by a band of newcomers like Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Barney Harris, Zoe Robins, and Josha Stradowski, the latter of whom will play Rand.
