Bayle Domon cast for WHEEL OF TIME Season 2

Welsh actor Julian Lewis Jones (Invictus, The Eagle, Justice League) has been cast in the fan-favourite role of Bayle Domon in the second season of The Wheel of Time.

The character of Bayle Domon actually debuts in the first Wheel of Time novel (which formed the basis of the first season, which aired last year) but his debut was delayed in the TV show until he had more substantive material. In the second novel, The Great Hunt, Domon commands a ship called the Spray which he takes to the west coast of the continent to start a new trade run only to run into unexpected complications, which eventually lead him to cross paths with the main characters. Domon becomes an occasionally recurring character in the books until the very end of the fourteen-volume series. He is noted for his thick Illianer accent and his (oft reluctant) bravery.

Season 2 only has four confirmed new castmembers: Donal Finn as Mat Cauthon (replacing Barney Harris, who left during the filming of the first season), Ceara Coveney as Elayne Trakand, Arnas Fedaravicius as Masema Dagar and Gregg Chillingirian as Ingtar Shinowa. They will be joined by Natasha O'Keeffe and Meera Syal in unconfirmed roles.

Season 2 of The Wheel of Time, which is wrapping up production now, is expected to air either in very late 2022 or early 2023.
