Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor Shohreh Aghdashloo has joined the Season 3 cast of Prime Video‘s fantasy epic series The Wheel of Time, starring Rosamund Pike, Madeleine Madden and Josha Stradowski.
Aghdashloo will portray Elaidado Avriny a’Roihan, a highly anticipated character from Robert Jordan’s eponymous and epic fantasy book series on which the show is based.
