Xelia is no longer the newest face in the cast, though, as four new stars were revealed on Saturday, April 23 at JordanCon, a convention dedicated to the original Wheel of Time author. This was revealed in a casting announcement for another Amazon project, as Xelia is also part of the Fallout cast (via Variety). Newcomer Xelia Mendes-Jones has a recurring role in the new season.

'We have to, because we can't hold 2,000 series regulars through multiple seasons. 'I wanted people to be a little on their toes, because real deaths are coming for characters that don't die in the books. He is alive and well and shooting in Prague' Judkins said. However, his confirmation did come with an ominous warning for some of the other characters later down the line! Loial was stabbed by Padan Fain in the dramatic climax of season 1, but in an interview with EW, Judkins confirmed that the character would be back. We do know that one fan-favorite character will be back in season 2 as showrunner Rafe Judkins has confirmed his fate.
