Epic quests. Relentless monsters. A prophecy that binds two worlds. The Wayfinders is back with brand-new episodes on December 16, and the stakes have never been higher. Angel Studios’ breakout fantasy adventure series returns to expand its richly imagined world, filled with magic, danger, friendship, and the kind of heart that turns viewers into lifelong fans.
What begins as an ordinary day for three high schoolers becomes an extraordinary odyssey when they are ripped from their world and thrown into a realm ruled by swords, sorcery, and savage beasts. Survival was only step one. Now destiny calls — and it demands everything they have.
🌌 From Teenagers to Heroes — A Journey Shaped by Prophecy and Peril
When Flynn, Oaklee, and Cash are suddenly transported into a fractured fantasy world, they’re thrust into a reality where every shadow hides danger and every choice alters fate. With no way to return home, the trio must forge unlikely alliances while navigating a realm caught in a war that predates their existence.
By their side stands:
A sharp-witted rogue
A powerful priestess
A teenage werebear (yes, really)
Together, this diverse group journeys through treacherous dungeons, mystical forests, cursed ruins, and kingdoms ravaged by the tyranny of a ruthless prince. Along the way, they uncover secrets of a prophecy that may unite — or destroy — both worlds.
This isn’t just about surviving anymore.
It’s about becoming the heroes they were never meant to be.
🛡️ A Fresh Fantasy Epic With Heart, Humor, and High Stakes
The Wayfinders stands out because it blends classic fantasy with modern characters who feel real, flawed, and relatable. These are not chosen ones born of destiny — they’re teenagers who stumble, panic, fight, and grow. Their unity becomes their strength, and their friendship becomes the heart of the story.
Expect:
intense creature battles
emotional character arcs
magical world-building
witty banter
monster-hunting quests
and a looming prophecy that tightens with every episode
It’s a series that feels excitingly new while mirroring the spirit of beloved portal fantasies like The Chronicles of Narnia, Percy Jackson, and The Witcher.
