Magdalena Sittova, alternatively Majda Šittová, is an actress who portrays Tigraine Mantear on Prime Video's The Wheel of Time.

General overview[]

Prior to The Wheel of Time, Sittova portrayed Cecilie in The Ash Lad: In Search of the Golden Castle (2019). Sittova is primarily known for her stuntwork on Dune (2021), Carnival Row (2019), 12 Monkeys (2017-2018), and Underworld: Blood Wars (2016).

Sittova's involvement in The Wheel of Time was revealed when her credit was added to IMDb in November 2021. On November 19, she also confirmed on her Instagram. Her role was not revealed until she appeared in episode 7.[2]

Magdalena Sittova was part of The Wheel of Time boot camp at the beginning of the series to work on stunts for the show. She had to leave for a few months for another production, and when she returned in March or May 2019, showrunner Rafe Judkins asked her to portray Tigraine. At the time, Sittova didn't know who the character was, and she hadn't read any of The Wheel of Time books.[3]

Sittova's filming took place over 5 days, including one additional day of rehearsal with the bolt camera. According to Sittova, she filmed her scene for The Wheel of Time with an injured swollen knee, and she nearly lost her voice during filming from all the screaming. Despite this, she said that it was one of the happiest moments of her life.[4]

Quotes about Magdalena Sittova[]

When we did the choreography for that fight scene, the key was we always wanted it to feel real. So we built this entire sequence around this incredible stunt actress we met in Prague. And she's just this incredible woman, Magdalena, with red hair, and she just gives so much performance, and we were like, [nods] this is Rand's mom.

Showrunner Rafe Judkins, from A Look Inside Episode 7, December 18, 2021

Magdalena, who plays Tigraine, is pretty extraordinary, it has to be said. Because we spent, I think, five days shooting this fight sequence, and it's extraordinarily physically challenging.

Director Ciaran Donnelly, from A Look Inside Episode 7, December 18, 2021

We found Magdalena almost a year before we even started choreographing that scene and worked it towards her because we thought she was so incredible.

Quotes from Magdalena Sittova[]

We were shooting from morning till evening, so it was really intense. I don't know if I was [ever so] dead tired in my life. [laughs]

Magdalena Sittova, from A Look Inside Episode 7, December 18, 2021

On December 18, 2021, Sittova posted about her role on Instagram:[5]

Honestly I felt huge responsibility and fear when i was offered to play character Tigraine Mantear by @rafejudkins! Thank you for your trust with an opening scene! I wanted to show her as a fucking warrior, badass woman and a mother that simply does everything to protect her baby. In the end that is the strongest motivation, love.

Thanks to all the fans as i received hundreds of beautiful positive messages via IG and Twitter!
