Vernon Sanders, who co-heads Amazon TV, has confirmed that they are plugging along on the adaptation of the Robert Jordan fantasy book series "The Wheel of Time". Sanders said that they are "well underway with production. We love what we've seen so far."
He added, "As you know, these big world building shows take some time to craft. There will be news as the year progresses on the series. But we feel incredibly optimistic about the show."
The story takes place in a magical world where select women have access to its powers.
"The Wheel of Time" will star Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, Madeleine Madden as Egwene Al'Vere, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Barney Harris as Mat Cauthon, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve and Josha Stradowski as Rand Al'Thor, among others.
