It stars Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney as al'Lan Mandragoran, and Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al'Meara.

The series had been in development for years before it was finally adapted. In 2000, NBC optioned the rights but nothing ever went forward from there.

Eventually that became The Wheel of Time series that premiered on Amazon Prime Video.
