The Wheel of Time cancelled by Prime Video after three seasons

BBG News

The Wheel of Time has been cancelled by Prime Video after three seasons due to financial reasons.

In simpler terms, this high-quality TV show based on Robert Jordan’s and Brandon Sanderson’s book series features Rosamund Pike portraying the character of Moiraine Damodred, a sorceress.

In March, the third season of the Amazon Prime Video series was launched, receiving overwhelming praise. However, the accolades weren’t sufficient to prevent its unfortunate cancellation.

As reported by Deadline, it appears that the show won’t be returning for a fourth season following extensive discussions. The main reason seems to be the expensive nature of producing the show.

Kicking things off in 2021, “The Wheel of Time” made quite an impression, recording as the streaming service’s most-watched premiere episode for the entire year and one of its top five series debuts ever.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel elated as I reflect on the incredible success of our favorite show in its third season! Critics have been raving about it, giving it an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – the highest ever among all seasons! This is a significant leap from the already impressive scores of seasons two (86%) and one (81%). What a journey it’s been, and I can hardly wait to see where this phenomenal series takes us next!

Based on Nielsen’s Top 10 Original series ranking, which focuses exclusively on American viewership, it appears that the show experienced a decrease in viewership during its third season. After the initial three weeks, the series failed to maintain its position on the chart.

Regardless, the choices about show renewals often center around its global performance, and season three was indeed the top-ranked series on Amazon Prime Video’s charts in several nations.

However, it hasn’t been enough to save the show and, according to the article, the decision was made to cancel the fantasy epic after discussions with lead studio Sony TV.

According to the article, the finale of season three was crafted with the potential of being canceled in consideration, aiming to provide viewers with a sense of completion.

The Wheel of Time streams on Prime Video.
