Interviews Roundup - December 2023

The Wheel of Time season 2 premiered during the actors' strike, so we missed out on the typical press junket interviews that we'd usually see around release to promote the series. The series appears to be making up for that with a new batch of interviews!

This is a list of all the recent The Wheel of Time cast interviews, in a sortable table. (To see the most recent interviews, sort by date!) I will add more as they're released.
