The Plan for Wheel of Time Season 3 Means Be'lal Likely Won't Show Up
Season three of The Wheel of Time is said to be an adaptation of book 4, The Shadow Rising, which reduces Be'lal's chances of appearing live-action. Established as the High Lord of Tear in book 3, The Dragon Reborn, Be'lal was one of two Forsaken to die at Rand's hands in the book—the other being Ishamael. Before seizing Callandor at the Stone of Tear in The Dragon Reborn's conclusion, Rand successively vanquished Be'lal and then Ishamael. Given the show seems to be launching immediately into The Shadow Rising, most of The Dragon Reborn's events will presumably be omitted, including Be'lal's part.
The fact the show already highlighted Ishamael's death supports this point of view. Though theoretically he may come back, the sense of finality to it suggests he is gone for good and will not be getting his rematch with Rand at the Stone of Tear. If Wheel of Time isn't allowing place for The Dragon Reborn's narrative, killing Ishamael out early makes logical. Furthermore less likely it is that it will employ Rand and Ishamael's struggle with Be'lal, particularly the former was the more important conflict of the two, if it does not plan to adapt their fight at the end of the novel.
Why Be'lal Is Among The Easiest Despondent To Cut From The Story?
Given that the show already seems set to feature five members of the Forsaken, it's not difficult to see Be'lal taken out of the narrative. Early death greatly restricted Be'lal's influence, so he lacked considerable character development as compared to most of the other villains. He is ultimately among the least-essential cursed books in the library. Cutting Be'lal won't cause much missing from the Wheel of Time, hence a live-action portrayal of his struggle with Rand shouldn't be expected regardless of how it manages to combine the Stone of Tear narrative.
The third season's Wheel of Time teaser shows a brief view of Logain Ablar, a potent channeler who will be very important. The teaser also suggests the comeback of Liandrin, a strong Aes Sedai driven to control The Dragon Reborn for her own needs. Demandred looks set to expand its world and its cast, maybe paving the path for the introduction of other strong characters from the books, while also allowing space for the stories and characters that need to be told for the series finale with these characters and the introduction of new ones.
Season 3 of Wheel of Time: Cutting the Forsaken From the Adaptation
Specific information on the narrative of The Wheel of Time Season 3 helps one to determine which members of the Forsaken are being cut off from the show. By now in this story, the data showing Prime Video's series altered the count of Forsaken in The Wheel of Time's universe is indisputable. It is commonly known from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books that the Forsaken comprise 13 strong channelers. On the broadcast, though, all the evidence points to just eight group members.
Six shattered seals in Wheel of Time season 2's ending and the number of abandoned statues displayed in a season 1 episode both support the theory that the show has chosen to delete five Forsaken characters from the lineup. Though their identities remain unknown, hints have surfaced over time to point to the five missing villains. For example, there is already good cause to believe Aginor and Balthamel won't be on the program. And depending on the course the show is likely to follow, another cursed name might soon find place on that list.
Third season of Wheel of Time: A New Chapter in the Epic Saga
Highly speculated to have been removed from the show because their deaths in The Eye of the World's ending, a narrative the show presented without either character making an appearance, Balthamel and Aginor are absent. November 20, 2023 on Prime Video is the Season 3 release date for The Wheel of Time. With the addition of the strong Forsaken, Demandred, the season is guaranteed to be a dramatic chapter for those engaged in the narrative; it is also expected to be among the largest ever.
