What is Age of Legends?
THR says Age of Legends takes place “in a futuristic utopia powered by a magical force shared by men and women known as the One Power. When an unspeakable evil is unleashed upon the world and men using the One Power become insane and destroy much of the planet, a small band of women unite under the White Tower and are humanity’s last hope of survival.“The Wheel of Time series consists of fourteen books that only allude to the events that happened during this Legends time period. A 1997 encyclopedia called The World of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time contains a section devoted to a historical overview of that period, in which social status was earned not by wealth, but by the amount of service one performed to humankind. I bought the first Wheel of Time book a few years ago and have yet to crack it open, but if you’re interested in more information, I encourage you to check out this wiki page.
With this announcement, it’s clear that Hollywood is betting that the Robert Jordan Cinematic Universe will be the Next Big Thing. I’m very curious to see if that bet pays off, especially as HBO begins to rev up its next round of Game of Thrones shows.

“I’ve been a fan of Robert Jordan’s work for many years, and it is especially his allusions to the origins and backstory of The Wheel of Time that I have always found most intriguing,” Stentz said in a statement. “I’m excited to be bringing this era Robert Jordan conceptualized to life.” After the announcement became public, the screenwriter tweeted:
“My first and last comments on this. Yes, it’s happening. Yes, I’m pumped. To fans of the series, I share your love for Jordan’s richly imagined world and incredibly detailed world and am going to be working my butt off to do right by it. Stay tuned!”
