With both The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Wheel of Time in its library, Prime Video has become a go-to platform for epic fantasy shows, and now the latter of those is back for its third season.

In season 3, the show continues to adapt Robert Jordan's novels, with this run said to be the closest adaptation to the source material yet.

However, there is one major change in store for fans, which star Rosamund Pike addressed when speaking with RadioTimes.com.

Pike said: "We haven't neglected the Stone of Tear, we've just rearranged the order. There'll be debate about it, but instead of Rand, as you would expect, his next point on his journey would be to go and get Callandor from the Stone of Tear, we are going into the Aiel Waste first, because he needs to discover who he is.

"Obviously in the novels, there's loads of opportunity for the internal battles of Rand, coming to terms with being the Dragon Reborn - but we need to make that active.

"We can't do subjective thinking on film. So we need him to go and discover who he is by going to the land of where he comes from. So we're going to the Aiel Waste first, and I hope you'll understand and appreciate why."

In her interview, Pike also teased a real danger for Josha Stradowski's Rand Al'Thor in season 3.

However, for now, with the first three episodes of season 3 available to stream, when can fans expect the fourth to be released?
