Amazon is doubling down on The Wheel of Time.
The streamer has renewed the fantasy series for a second season ahead of the launch of the show. It comes as production has wrapped on season one in the Czech Republic.
It is the latest market in a long road for the adaptation of Robert Jordan’s books, which has been in development in one form or another for 20 years and that Amazon ordered to series in October 2018. Like many series, production of the drama was also hit by the pandemic.
The Wheel of Time, set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists, but only women can use it, is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television and comes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Chuck writer Rafe Judkins, who is showrunner and exec producer.
It stars Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, a member of the shadowy and influential all-female organization...

Movie Review: 'Land Gold Women'; Star Cast: Narinder Samra, Neelam Parmar, Chris Villiers and Hassani Shapi; Writer-Director: Avantika Hari; Rating: *** 1/2 - has its heart at right place.
There is a nip in the British air. The verdant tranquility of Birmingham is torn apart by the kind of domestic violence that we read about and talk only in hushed whispers.
But honour killing in 'civilized' England? Nah! This one has got to be just one of those exaggerated dramas of the damned that come along to shock us in the movies.
It's astonishing how quickly and expertly writer-director Avantika Hari does away.

There is a nip in the British air…The verdant tranquility of Birmingham is torn apart by the kind of domestic violence that we read about and talk only in hushed whispers, and that too when references are made to supposedly primitive practices in the psychologically-undeveloped section of North India.
But honour killing in ‘civilized’ England? Nah! This one has got to be just one of those exaggerated dramas of the damned that come along to shock us in the movies.
It’s astonishing how quickly and expertly writer-director Avantika Hari does away with our cynical reading of the volatile subject. The script approaches its gentle characters, a cultured Muslim family keeping its head high(and veiled, of course) in a super-cosmopolitan society that constantly threatens to blow the lid off the conservative core of the family nucleus.
