‘Wheel of Time’ Showrunner Rafe Judkins on That Shocking Episode 1 Death
Some of the diversions from the book are minor: the youths — Rand , Mat , Perrin , Egwene and Nynaeve — have been aged up from teens to young adults; one of their traveling companions doesn’t show up until episode three; in the book, the Dragon can only be male.

Yes, there is a big appetite, more than there ever has been before. But streamers aren’t going to make every book series that has been big before. All the executives that we pitched to had never read the books.
