The Wheel of Time’s producers have drafted Bocarie to play Master Grinwell, a farmer and the father of nine children. Preston is playing his wife, Mistress Grinwell. Meanwhile, Hoyle will play Dana, but there doesn’t seem to be a character who goes by this name in Robert Jordan’s original novels.
Back in March, the ongoing health crisis forced The Wheel of Time to suspend filming in Prague. However, the show’s Twitter account has been passing time by orchestrating a book club for new and old fans alike to read the series’ first installment: The Eye of the World.
The Wheel of Time is still without a premiere date.
