The Wheel of Time season 2 official trailer<\/h3>\n

D\u00f3nal Finn was eager to make the character of Mat Cauthon his own when he was chosen to replace Barney Harris for the Prime Video series.<\/p>\n

Mat was introduced in the first season of Wheel of Time in 2021 as a village gambler whom the powerful Aes Sedai Moiraine Damodred (played by Rosamund Pike) suspects could be the Dragon Reborn.<\/p>\n

He joined Moiraine and a group of other potential candidates in a quest to stop the Dark One but abandoned his companions when they entered the corrupted Ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I thought was the most useful is that I looked at all of the season one scripts as this, kind of, backstory or narrative,\u201d Finn said of his approach to the new role.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, when I picked up at the start of season two, it was like meeting any other character.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finn\u2019s predecessor Harris departed the series after the first season was shut down by the Covid-19 pandemic, but an official reason hasn\u2019t been given.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Finn already had the first season – and the novels by bestselling author Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson – to base his performance on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you don\u2019t get with any other character is this massive wealth of source material and the context when you meet them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the scenes that you would have to write in your head I had on the page in eight episodes. And that was a hugely helpful resource to build the picture of where Mat is at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also expressed his hope that fans will understand recastings often have to be made, even after they\u2019ve grown attached to a particular portrayal of their favorite characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of things,\u201d he said. \u201cI know what it\u2019s like from the fans\u2019 perspective when there\u2019s a recasting.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it would have been Dumbledore [in the Harry Potter films], the change between Richard Harris and Michael Gambon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, there was an ease with that because I loved both so much for what they did and I could admire what it takes to do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just tried to make the thing my own. I thought that\u2019s what was best for the fans, because there\u2019s something uniquely true as opposed to being fixed on something that had happened before.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just an amazing opportunity,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a character that I know so many people love, and to be bringing him to life and being able to bring myself to it where it\u2019s suitable feels like a really joyous thing as an actor.\u201d<\/p>\n

New episodes of The Wheel of Time will begin dropping on Prime Video this Friday, so hopefully, it won\u2019t take viewers long to warm up to this new version of the beloved adventurer.<\/p>\n

The Wheel of Time season 2 releases Fridays on Amazon Prime Video.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
