Amazon confirms first WHEEL OF TIME director

Amazon have announced that Uta Briesewitz will be directing the first two episodes of its Wheel of Time TV series.


The first two episodes, provisionally entitled Leavetaking and Shadow's Waiting, have been written by showrunner Rafe Judkins and Amanda Kate Shuman. It is believed that they will cover the first 300 pages or so of the first novel in the series, The Eye of the World.

Uta Briesewitz is a German cinematographer and director. Her TV resume is most impressive, including episodes of Orange is the New Black, The 100, Jessica Jones, Fear the Walking Dead, Iron Fist, The Defenders, The Deuce, Altered Carbon and Westworld. Her episode of Westworld, Season 2's Kiksuya, has attracted widespread critical acclaim and been cited as one of the best episodes of the series.

The first season starts shooting in September in and around Prague in the Czech Republic and is expected to air in Amazon in late 2020.

Not 'sighted', but cited. We can't be letting the magnificent English language decay, can we?

So, you have seen my comment and made the requisite change, but have not seen fit to publish said comment.

Rather unfortunate, wouldn't you say?
