The Trollocs are coming. On Wednesday, Prime Video unleashed a behind-the-scenes featurette for The Wheel of Time Season 2. The fearsome foot soldiers of the Dark One’s army get the spotlight as we go behind the magic to explore the technology and creative ingenuity of their onscreen appearance.
Appearing in the featurette is series star/executive producer Rosamund Pike, showrunner/executive producer Rafe Judkins, executive producer Mike Weber, executive producer/writer Justine Juel Gillmer and makeup effects designer Nick Dudman in previously recorded interviews.

In said behind-the-scenes video, we learn that Trollocs are an amalgam of practical prosthetics and cutting-edge visual effects. Additionally, we pull back the curtain on the stunts that contribute to the Trollocs battle scenes. It’s light against shadow in Season 2, y’all.
Last week, Prime Video unleashed the first clip from Season 2 for fans. It’s based on the “Darkfriend Social” scene from Robert Jordan‘s The Great Hunt. In it, we see one of the villains, played by Fares Fares, taming three vicious Trollocs.
Here’s a synopsis for Season 2 per Amazon Studios:
“In Season 2, threats, new and very old, seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they must find other sources of strength. In each other or themselves. In the Light … or the Dark.”

The Wheel of Time Season 2 premieres with three new episodes on Friday, September 1, 2023, only on Prime Video. Check out the “Terror of the Trollocs” featurette below.
