Amazon’s long-anticipated Wheel of Time adaptation has found its director.
IGN can reveal that Westworld helmer Uta Briesewitz will direct the first two episodes of Amazon’s sprawling fantasy series, based on the books by Robert Jordan.
Briesewitz is no stranger to high-concept genre offerings – she directed the best episode of Westworld Season 2 – the poetic Kiksuya, which followed Ghost Nation warrior Akecheta’s journey to consciousness – and has helmed two episodes of the upcoming Stranger Things Season 3.
She’s also directed episodes of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, plus Altered Carbon and The Deuce, so we can’t wait to see what she does with Jordan’s magical landscape.
