WIC Live Host Adam Rady Debuts Season 2 Of Walking In Circles

Earlier this year, Winter Is Coming launched a new Game of Thrones review show called Winter is Coming Live. Each week, host Adam Rady brought a panel of Game of Thrones fans together to discuss where the HBO series has been and where it was going.

When Adam isn’t watching, thinking about, reading and dreaming about Game of Thrones, he also has written, directed and acted in his very own fantasy web series, Walking in Circles.

Adam and his team have recently released the second season of the series and we wanted to give everyone here at WIC a heads up to check it out.

If you are looking for a fantasy fix, Walking in Circles definitely provides a binge-worthy experience that could appeal to Adam’s fellow Thrones fans, despite being a weeeeeeee bit less dark than GOT.

From Adam:

While on the surface Game of Thrones and my series, Walking In Circles, are vastly different; the first being a very serious drama, while the latter is more of an adventure comedy; I believe that fans of Game of Thrones will find some similarities they will enjoy. The most important of which is that in both series people find themselves invested in the characters. While the setting, tone, and events help compose the scene, it’s the characters that are always at the heart of things. This type of character depth is what works so well in Game of Thrones and also works exceptionally well in comedy, because the more that you care about the characters, the more the humor finds a way of paying off in unexpected ways. Additionally, it doesn’t hurt that we have some pretty awesome actions sequences. Regardless, I hope everyone will give it a shot, as there is a lot of time we have to wait for the next season of Game of Thrones, and Walking In Circles can be a fun and entertaining change of pace during the wait.

Synopsis
Krag, a young barbarian prince seeks to earn his place amongst his people by avenging his father’s death at the claws of the ancient red dragon, Slithalazalamazar. Knowing the threat is too great to face alone, he must gather a party of adventurers to aid him in his quest: Markus, an indebted wizard, Garand, a bright eyed bard, Angie, a naïve druid, and Alex, a mysterious assassin. Their journey will take them to the far reaches of The Greenlands. They will encounter fantastical creatures, mythic treasures, and face powerful enemies.

Krag’s journey is one that takes him through unfamiliar territory, both physically and internally. He will be forced to question his straightforward and often violent methods of dealing with the many problems that the party encounters, and to appreciate the value of his teammates’ skills and abilities, even if he doesn’t understand them.

Premise
This series takes classic elements of high fantasy and adds the unique and inspiring elements from the mind of writer James Rodehaver, to tell an epic story of adventure. The primary focus of the story is the growth of the characters, both individually and as a team. The show takes a close look at the party dynamic and how different “classes” affect, complement, and sometimes conflict with each other.

Season 1’s eleven episodes follow Krag and the party as they journey towards the dragon’s lair in a quest based narrative, while season 2 picks up shortly after, during Krag’s quest for answers.

There is always an element of expansion in the story, giving a sense of growth in both the characters and the plot. While the motivations for the characters begins as a personal quest, their actions have unforeseen global ramifications that draw them into bigger adventure. As the characters grow, so too do the challenges they face.

The party as an entity is intended to be a character in its own right, with each member representing a facet of its collective psyche. The characters are meant to be champions of their respective professions, but they will time and time again encounter situations where their areas of expertise limit them, and they must come together as a collective to overcome their obstacles. The party dynamic, internal conflicts, and synergies, are the key to what make this story unique and engaging.

History
Walking In Circles was created by James Rodehaver and Adam Rady, with the first season finding it’s way to YouTube in 2011. It took 3 more years for Season 2 to finally find it’s way to the web, with production levels having been increased on all fronts. A larger cast, crew, and story required the need for more funds and a lot of favors to be asked of many kind and generous people. It was because of the patience and willingness of these people that the two are happy to finally present Season 2 of Walking In Circles.
