The Wheel of Time's Marcus Rutherford and Dónal Finn Tease Perrin & Mat's Intense Season 3 Journeys
19Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time Season 3 Episodes 1-3.
The much-anticipated third season of The Wheel of Time has finally premiered, and fans of the Prime Video adaptation were rewarded for their patience with a jam-packed three-episode drop that didn't waste any time in setting up where our favorite characters are going to be. While Episode 1 establishes that the Emond's Field gang will be going their separate ways once more, one character who actually decides to go back to the Two Rivers is Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford), but he quickly discovers that much about his home has changed, with the people dealing with dual threats in the form of both Whitecloaks and trollocs. Meanwhile, Mat Cauthon (Dónal Finn) has seemingly returned to being the flirtatious gambler we all know and love, but it's clear that he's dealing with some aftereffects from blowing the Horn of Valere in the Season 2 finale — including voices in his head and unconsciously speaking in the Old Tongue.
While their characters do split up after the premiere, Rutherford and Finn were able to tease what to expect from Perrin and Mat's respective storylines on The Wheel of Time Season 3 when Collider spoke to several members of the cast, as well as showrunner Rafe Judkins, ahead of the premiere. Over the course of the interview, which you can watch above or read below, Finn discusses how Mat is learning to open up and trust more people this season, while Rutherford reflects on the surreal experience of returning to the Two Rivers set after so many changes both on and offscreen, as well as what he enjoyed about getting to bounce off of newcomer Isabella Bucceri, who joins The Wheel of Time Season 3 as Faile.
