The Wheel of Time has added a Wise One to its ranks: Ayoola Smart, whose previous TV credits include Killing Eve (as Kenny Stowton’s onetime flame Audrey), has joined Season 2 of the epic Prime Video adaptation in the recurring role of Aviendha.
An Aiel Maiden of the Spear, Aviendha in Wheel of Time lore is a Wise One of the Nine Valleys sept, and one of the three lovers that Rand al’Thor takes (though we of course will see if the TV series offers a new spin on the heroine).
Previous Season 2 castings include Hanna‘s Guy Roberts (as Uno Nomeshta), The Last Kingdoms’s Arnas Fedaravicius (as Mesema), A Discovery of Witches‘ Gregg Chillingirian (as Ingtar Shinowa), Ceara Coveney as Elayne Trakand, and Natasha O’Keeffe (Peaky Blinders) and Meera Syal (Broadchurch) as “two of the most important characters in the series.”
