The Wheel of Time is Amazon Prime’s newest fantasy epic, and it is being compared with HBO’s Game of Thrones for the right reasons. While several fans and critics are busy arguing on online forums whether it is the next Game of Thrones or not, the cast and the crew are trying to etch a different identity for the show.

“I think we’re a huge admirer of Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones crossed over, broke through from the fantasy genre. Got the whole world talking about it. We do have a more exciting and dynamically cast series, I think. In terms of the diversity of our cast. People have been called from literally all over the world. Our casting director has searched the whole globe for these characters, and it shows on screen.”
