COLLIDER: I have to start by saying Donal and Ceara, welcome to the world ofWheel of Time.
What’s it been like to join the cast this season?
DONAL FINN: It’s a blessing.

CEARA COVENEY: Absolutely.
Marcus, for you, what has been the biggest difference between filming Season 1 and Season 2?
In Season 1, there’s a lot of world-building to do.

They’ve kind of accepted their place in this prophecy.
It is a darker season, but Ceara, Elayne is a character who brings this lightness and sweetness.
What was it like to explore that with Madeleine [Madden]?

COVENEY: It was so much fun.
As you say, Elayne brings this lightness when she first arrives in the Tower.
So there’s a certain lightness.

She was so supportive, as well, and we had a real laugh those days in the Tower.
Why do you feel like he has that reluctance to reconnect?
FINN: That’s a great question.
It’s not a behavior that he feels proud of.
It was a really interesting journey to go on.
It was a great arc to explore.
Why do you think that is?
Padan Fain is the epitome of this thing that kind of disrupted his world.
He was very happy being this humble blacksmith from the town.
He wasn’t really seeking to go on a quest.
Perrin is also starting to acknowledge a side of himself that we’ve seen hints of in Season 1.
RUTHERFORD: Yeah, it was amazing, man.
There was a real animal that I had to learn and trust and get the respect of.
It meant that I was going on my own journey alongside Perrins, as well.
New episodes ofThe Wheel of TimeSeason 2 premiere Friday on Prime Video.
