"There Were All These Emotions Going Back": 'The Wheel of Time's Marcus Rutherford and Dónal Finn Tease Perrin and Mat's Intense Season 3 Journeys

Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time Season 3 Episodes 1-3.The much-anticipated third season of The Wheel of Time has finally premiered, and fans of the Prime Video adaptation were rewarded for their patience with a jam-packed three-episode drop that didn't waste any time in setting up where our favorite characters are going to be. While Episode 1 establishes that the Emond's Field gang will be going their separate ways once more, one character who actually decides to go back to the Two Rivers is Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford), but he quickly discovers that much about his home has changed, with the people dealing with dual threats in the form of both Whitecloaks and trollocs. Meanwhile, Mat Cauthon (Dónal Finn) has seemingly returned to being the flirtatious gambler we all know and love, but it's clear that he's dealing with some aftereffects from blowing the Horn of Valere in the Season 2 finale — including voices in his head and unconsciously speaking in the Old Tongue.
