The Wheel of Time (Prime Video)

Today we’re two weeks away from the season 2 premiere of The Wheel of Time. In celebration, Prime Video has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette pulling back the curtain on the sereies’ menacing monsters, the Trollocs.

These fearsome foot soldiers of the Dark One’s army were first introduced in The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan’s best-selling Wheel of Time book series. Insatiable and bloodthirsty killing machines who exist to do the bidding of the Dark One and his key lieutenants, the Trollocs are genetically engineered super-soldiers who are a terrifying fusion of human and animal, and can take the shape of boars, bears, hawks, and other aggressive creatures.

Check out the full featurette in the player below:

The new featurette features series star and co-executive producer Rosamund Pike, executive producer and showrunner Rafe Judkins, executive producer Mike Weber, executive producer and writer Justine Juel Gillmer, and makeup effects designer Nick Dudman in previously recorded interviews, as they unveil some of the meticulous artistry and technology that have birthed these brutal beasts, which are a convergence of practical prosthetics and cutting-edge visual effects. As one observation in the piece relates, the grisly Trollocs are “nightmare fuel.”

Season Two of The Wheel of Time will premiere exclusively on Prime Video, with the first three new episodes debuting on 1stSeptember. The second season was filmed in the Czech Republic, Morocco, and Italy, and stars Rosamund Pike (Gone GirlI Care a Lot) as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney (Criminal Minds) as Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski (Gran Turismo) as Rand al’Thor, Zoë Robins (Power Rangers Ninja Steel) as Nynaeve al’Meara, Madeleine Madden (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Egwene al’Vere, Marcus Rutherford (Obey) as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn (Rogue Heroes) as Mat Cauthon, and Ceara Coveney (Young Wallander) as Elayne Trakand.
