We Have Our First Set Photo!

On Wednesday, January 15 2020, Showrunner Rafe Judkins posted a photo of the set to his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Per his post, Amazon “let” him post the photo in celebration of the Wheel of Time 30th anniversary (thank you, Overlord Amazon).

Here’s the gram:

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the publishing of the first Wheel of Time book, Amazon is letting me post this picture I took on set in the mountains of Slovenia! Including Rand Al’Thor getting his hair done, giant coats to show you how cold it was, and a mountain safety guide to make sure none of us fall off the cliff. Shooting this scene was one of the highlights of the whole project so far for me and it’s awesome to get to share it. @wotonprime

And here’s the Tweet

And apparently Twitter strips location data as well. So here it is if you don’t have Instagram! pic.twitter.com/Z8tCGDOyPc

Needless to say, everyone lost their Creator-damned minds as this is the first official news drip since we got casting news on Alanna Sedai, Ihvon and Maksim (her warders) in what seems like an age ago (an age yet to come?)

What scene is this, you might ask? Twitter user “Burn” (@ignis_raendl) seems to have the right of it:

I’m guessing this is the near the Eye. love the location. as a new zealander i’m glad you didn’t pick here to film. Slovenia(?) looks just as beautiful. Tai’shar Battle Leader;)

Mat bloody Cauthon might have revealed a bit too much in this tweet:
