I noticed something on a reread. I just finished The Great Hunt. If Liandrin doesn't show up until toward halfway through The Great Hunt, does that mean, since they've already cast her, she will be in the first season? Will she have an expanded storyline? Will we meet the Seanchan in season one?

:scratch :reading

Liandrin is present throughout that book, she's in the prologue and the early chapters in Fal Dara.

Based on what we've seen so far from casting announcements (list here), it seems likely that season one will be adapting at least the first part of The Great Hunt. We haven't seen any Seanchan or Cairhienen announced yet though, and the absence of any news about the Andoran royalty is starting to get pretty conspicuous.

I wonder if they will shelve the whole story with Elayne until the 2nd season?
Nyn and Eggie could meet her at the White Tower, as could Rand.

Also not sure how we will meet Logain if they cut out Caemlyn....

There's also an episode titled "Blood Calls Blood" which is a chapter title in The Great Hunt. It's been suggested that the seasons won't be in 1 book = 1 season format. I'm guessing with Leane confirmed, Liandrin confirmed, Great Hunt titles, this at least starting off in Moiraine's perspective, perhaps it will be more fluid, with flashbacks from New Spring thrown in as well?

And, uh. Yeah. I really hope we get to see Elayne & co. in the first season. :laugh: That at least brought some levity to the journey. "Sure, Rand. You stumbled into the palace gardens and met the princess. Riiiiiiiiight."

Not sure if this has been covered. The actress who played Shae in GoT would be a great Aes Sedai.

So would the actress who played Margeary Tyrell

Whew! That makes me feel better - she is super integral to most of the White Tower scenes in the first two books.

I wonder will they officially announce her soon now that the cat might be out of the bag. Cool to finally see their choice!

Ooooh. I just watched the WoT Up video.

At this stage I'm convinced they've got Aviendha and Elayne cast. The Danish actress in the article is more of a fit for Elayne and the other actress was already a fan choice for Aviendha. Aviendha doesn't show up until later in the series, though, so it makes sense for our two sister-wives to be cast together.

The other option is that the Danish actress is one of the Seanchan characters.

I'm a wondering who will be the flame haired fiestyness that is Aviendha.
I can't think of any apart from rose leslie and she maybe OK.
I forgot Eleanor Tomlinson
Lily Cole
I've seen other possibilities in an image search, but I don't know the names. I guess they need to be under 30/20

What now?

Recasting a main role is a bit concerning...
