Today, Prime Video announced that Olivia Williams, Luke Fetherston, Callum Kerr, and Nuno Lopes have joined the cast of The Wheel of Time for the series’ upcoming third season, which will premiere globally on March 13, 2025. The Wheel of Time is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
In the highly anticipated new season, the four actors will portray the royal family of the kingdom of Andor. Andor is the largest, most populous, and most influential country within the heart of the Westlands, the fictional land depicted in Robert Jordan’s best-selling and epic fantasy book series, The Wheel of Time, upon which the television series is based.
Acclaimed award-winning (BIFA, U.S. National Society of Film Critics, London Critics’ Circle) actress Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore, The Crown) portrays ‘Morgase Trakand,’ the Queen of Andor. Morgase did not inherit her throne. Rather, when the succession was left without an heir, she waged a brutal war against a half-dozen noble rivals, and thanks to her political savvy and utter ruthlessness, she won. She has sworn ever since to shield her daughter and heir, Elayne, from ever having to endure what she did… and do what she did. But far from being a tyrant, Morgase has become one of the best queens Andor has ever known.
Luke Fetherston (Doctor Who, Big Mood) is ‘Lord Gawyn’ of House Trakand. A royal prince of Andor and brother to Galad and Elayne, Gawyn is a skilled fighter, famously handsome, and protective of his younger sister.
Callum Kerr (Hollyoaks, Monarch) plays ‘Lord Galad’ of House Trakand. Galad is a royal prince of Andor, and older brother to Gawyn and Elayne. Despite being the first born, he is not the heir to the throne. Andor is a matriarchy, and so the role of heir falls to his younger sister, Elayne.
Nuno Lopes (White Lines, The New Look) plays the role of ‘Lord Gaebril,’ Queen Morgase’s male consort. Both her lover and adviser, he assists in overseeing matters political and military. Andor is a matriarchal society, and so his power and influence, though vast, are always second to that of his Queen, to whom his loyalties and services are sworn.
