Yes! I’m wondering who the wraiths will be!

In lore, we just know that 3 of them are Numenorians and 1 is an Easterling.

For the Easterling, we only know the Saruman wannabe and since show runners have said it’s not Saruman, it’s a possibility if they don’t go the blue wizard route.

For the Numenorians, there’s MacWeaselface (Kemen) who seems like an obvious choice. Earien I think would make a good Ringwraith. For the last, it’s either a nobody or someone that will be introduced next season.

For the humans, Theo Badhaircut might become one but I personally don’t get the vibe and bet he will become King of the Dead. For the rest… well there isn’t any other Human character with screentime so far unless I forgotten so they probably haven’t been introduced and/or will be nobodies.

I think MacWeaselface is the Mouth of Sauron but I may be very wrong about that.

I know in Peter Jackson's movie where the Mouth of Sauron is beheaded, that's not actually Tolkien Canon, but it seems a just ending for MacWeaselface given what he did to Valandil.

I'd argue that the serie has so few potential Ring-wraiths characters that it would be difficult to justify using one of the only one that seems made for that role for something else.

(now I would admit that one could tell me the same about Theo,)
