Is there a The Wheel of Time trailer?

We have been treated to a trailer which stars Rosamund in the role of Moiraine. Her usual blonde tresses have been dyed dark brown for the role, and the trailer hints at Moiraine's quest to seek out the Dragon, an entity who could destroy the world.

What is The Wheel of Time about? 

Based on Robert Jordan’s beloved book series, the synopsis for the upcoming show reads: “Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine, a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organisation called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers.

The series will be out 19 November 2021, and we don't know about you, but we're excited!
