The Wheel of Time has finished filming in the Czech Republic for season 3. While there is still further filming planned for the season in South Africa, this marks a significant milestone for the production, which started filming the season in the Czech Republic on April 17, 2023.
To celebrate, a wrap party was held this past Saturday for cast and crew. Cast member Priyanka Bose shared photos taken at the event and stated “We just wrapped Season 3, with this epic cast and crew.” Included in a now-deleted photo were actors Zoë Robins, Kae Alexander, Ayoola Smart, and Isabella Bucceri. Other photos featured Taylor Napier and showrunner Rafe Judkins.
Other actors have also shared on social media that they were leaving Prague. One such actor is Alexandre Willaume, who said “And that’s a wrap on Thom Merrilin for this time. ” The filming in the Czech Republic for season 3 likely focused on events in the Two Rivers and The White Tower as well as new locations such as Caemlyn and Tanchico.
It is currently unknown when filming will commence in South Africa, though “summer” was mentioned as a rough time frame by hair and makeup designer Davina Lamont on a social media post. (Note: As a reminder, it is currently spring in the Southern hemisphere.) Given Rafe Judkin’s mention of Rhuidean during NYCC (in addition to our reporting on Couladin’s audition), South Africa will likely be home to filming scenes involving the Aiel.

Hoping for a more diverse cast 🙏
They need to worry more about the story than they do being diverse for the sake of diversity. If you had read the books there is already a lot of diversity without making characters change from their book descriptions. They also need to let the main characters in the books be the main characters in the show instead of boring Moraine who is a secondary character at best in the books. They spent so much time changing characters because some idiot in a writers room decided they didn’t have enough stuff in the books to go on so they changed everything. The second season was a lot better but for the love of God stop asking for shows to be more diverse and instead ask them to make good shows with whoever is best for the part on their acting abilities and close resemblance to the character descriptions.
Diverse, meaning the depth of diversity from the 14 book series -hundreds of cultures and creatures that would be really hard to fit into a live action series or do you mean the actual cast? I find it to be incredibly diverse? What more do you want? Major characters are culturally and ethnically more diverse than I even expected.
Seriously?
Relieved to know season 3 is coming…
But Czech Republic is callee Czechia now
I’m in complete agreement with the diversity comments. I wish that the they would tell the story as it has been written in the books ( I understand that some little changes are necessary); but to completely change characters in the name of diversity is truly too much.
I ageee with overdoing the diversity. It should be more authentic to the book.
At this point it’s not even the same story as the book.. welcome to the panderverse
“Panderverse”, well said!
I haven’t read the books. I would think that many have not. And…what does it matter if the cast is diverse, it is a fictional story anyway. Anybody could any character. It is a good series on the end.
If you’re going to write a different story, get a different title.
It’s not the books. It’ll never be the books, but it’s decent TV. I enjoy it and appreciate the efforts of all involved.
