Filming Locations in the First Wheel of Time Season 2 Trailer

The long-awaited first trailer for season 2 of The Wheel of Time was released yesterday, July 19, 2023. In case you missed it, here it is again:

We’ve already made some observations about the trailer, but we wanted to also break down some of the filming locations we see in the trailer. Many of these locations were already noted in our break down of the sneak peek released at New York Comic-Con 2022. There are more locations seen, but these are the ones we could identify.

Cairhien

Location: Barrandov Studios Backlot, Czech Republic
Date: Unknown
Additional information: Moiraine stands in the foregate area of Cairhien outside the city walls. The explosion erupting through the gate appears to be coming from inside the city. Reference images can be seen in this video breaking down locations.

Location: Calanchi di Aliano, Italy
Date: September 2021

Two Dragons

Location: unknown

Additional information: While we don’t know exactly when or where this was taken, the tree in the background looks like an olive tree. Filming in Italy took place in September 2021. Note that Rand appears to be wearing the same outfit he’s wearing while walking down the hall, which — if this scene is meant to take place after the hallway — would likely put this in episode 1 or 2.

Waygate Ambush

Location: Fint Oasis, Ouarzazate, Morocco

Bonus: North Harbor

While this likely all takes place on a set, we wanted to note that Liandrin appears to be sneaking through Tar Valon to visit North Harbor at night. Moiraine previously revealed in season 1 that she knew Liandrin was meeting a man at North Harbor.
