Amazon Cancels Wheel of Time After Three Seasons

Amazon Prime Video has canceled 'The Wheel of Time' after three seasons, citing financial reasons related to high production costs and declining viewership, especially in the U.S., despite critical acclaim and a strong global fanbase. Season 3 achieved a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, but the show struggled to maintain its initial audience. The series, led by Rosamund Pike and based on Robert Jordan's novels, debuted as one of Prime Video's most-watched premieres. Fans have expressed disappointment at the unfinished story and are urging other studios to continue the adaptation. The decision reflects a wider industry shift as streaming services increasingly focus on cost efficiency even for well-reviewed series. Meanwhile, the Wheel of Time universe will continue with an open-world RPG game currently in development.
