Wheel Of Time star screamed at actress and threw her across the floor in intense scenes

ok.co.uk:

The third season of The Wheel Of Time kicks off with a bang, featuring magic balls of fire flying across rooms, shattering columns and crushing those nearby.

A woman is sliced in half, another vomits blood, and one fighter bludgeons another to death - all within the first 10 minutes.

It's clear this fantasy drama isn't for the faint-hearted. Scenes as brutal as these require not only strong performers but also strong stomachs. "Fantasy action scenes come with challenges – it's sometimes quite technical," shares Natasha O'Keeffe, who has been part of the show since its second season. "You have to keep a real focus throughout the day, so there are a lot of sugar highs, lots of M&Ms!

Then you get moments where Sophie Okonedo is screaming at Kate Fleetwood and throwing her across the room and it's just a blast, and you realise we have the best job in the world." Rosamund Pike, who stars alongside Natasha, Sophie, and Kate, and also produces the show, hints that the opening scenes are just a taste of bigger things to come in a season that aims to be even more epic than its predecessors. "We have wanted to grow this show season by season," she says. "We delivered a second season that was better than the first, which is always the hope.
