The Wheel of Time season one is mostly a continuous quest. It begins with Aes Sedai member Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) and her ride-or-die Warder, Lan (Daniel Henney), traveling to the rural Two Rivers region in search of the Dragon Reborn—whose identity is unknown, beyond the year he or she was born. They find five possible Dragons Reborn: same-aged friend group Egwene (Madeleine Madden), Rand (Josha Stradowski), Perrin (Marcus Rutherford), and Mat (Barney Harris), plus Nynaeve (Zoë Robins), who’s a bit older than them but has undeniable channeling abilities. The group—which becomes variously separated, reunited, and confronted with soul-searching moments along the way—travels across the treacherous landscape to the Aes Sedai headquarters at the White Tower, then sets out to the Eye of the World to confront the Dark One. The mystery of who the Dragon Reborn is propels most of the eight-episode season.
