Brandon Sanderson Rips Wheel of Time Cancellation Amid Petition

Amazon’s adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, has officially been canceled after its third season. Despite having a dedicated fanbase and improved reception in Season 3, financial considerations led to Prime Video's decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. Disappointment looms as reports indicate that the series is not being offered to other streaming platforms. Notably, author Brandon Sanderson expressed his frustration concerning the cancellation, emphasizing that the fanbase deserved better. Over 120,000 supporters have signed a petition urging for the show's continuation, highlighting the impact and attachment the series has generated.

Currently, there are no indications that The Wheel of Time will be shopped around to other platforms, leaving fans disheartened about the future of the adaptation and its beloved storyline.

The Wheel of Time series is based on the epically sweeping book series penned by Robert Jordan, widely regarded as one of the greatest fantasy series ever. The show featured Rosamund Pike as Moiraine and aimed to faithfully capture the depth and complexity of the world that fans have cherished. With a mixed reception during its first two seasons, Season 3 seemed to turn things around, raising hopes for further adaptations of Jordan's intricate narrative. However, the mounting costs and mixed audience response ultimately thwarted the story's continuation on screen.
