How long is the season and does anyone know what they plan to cover book wise in this first season?

The showrunner has stated that the series will be distilled from the 13 books into 8 seasons. Elements of the first three books will find themselves in the first season, and you will see characters that didn't feature in the Eye of the World. I like this for various reasons, the first of which being that it was clear that Jordan didn't know that the series would be successful enough to continue, and the first book was a little more self contained. This also allows them to create an emphasis on greater character importance and construction for villains especially.
I'm looking forward to the divergence, and seeing what they do with it. From what I understand the first couple of episodes are slightly 'safe', to concentrate on world building.
