The Wheel Of Time Cancelled After 3 Seasons
The Wheel of Time has stopped spinning.
Prime Video has cancelled the fantasy drama after three seasons, sources confirm for TVLine.
The bad news comes five weeks after the Season 3 finale premiered on Prime.
As noted by our sister site Deadline, viewership of the lavish series slipped with Season 3, to a point that it could not justify a Season 4 commitment — despite Prime Video working with Sony TV to make the numbers work.
Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy novels, The Wheel of Time tells the story of Rand a'Thor (played by Josha Stradowski), a humble farm boy who learns he is The Dragon Reborn — a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world ... or break it.
At the end of Season 2, Rand after defeating Ishamael reunited with his friends at Falme and was declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season 3 (which was primarily based on the fourth book of Jordan's series, The Shadow Rising), the threats against the Light multiplied. The White Tower stood divided, the Black Ajah were running free, old enemies returned to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken kept in hot pursuit of the Dragon... including Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe), whose relationship with Rand will marked a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both.
In addition to Stradowski, O'Keefe, Rosamund Pike (as Moiraine Damodred) and Madeleine Madden (Egwene al'Vere), The Wheel of Time starred Daniel Henney as al'Lan Mandragoran, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al'Meara, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon, Ceara Coveney as Elayne Trakand, Kate Fleetwood as Liandrin Guirale, Ayoola Smart as Aviendha, Sophie Okonedo as Siuan, and Kae Alexander as Min Farshaw.
Prime Video's Wheel of Time series was adapted for television by showrunner Rafe Judkins (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), who served as executive producer with Pike, Rick Selvage, Larry Mondragon, Ted Field, Mike Weber, Marigo Kehoe, Ciaran Donnelly, Justine Juel Gillmer and Dave Hill.
