Wheel of Time Fans Go All Out: Petition Nears 200K Signatures to Save the Show

BBG News

For three seasons, it was streamed on Prime Video, but unfortunately, they chose to discontinue the show a month following the airing of Season 3. This news didn’t sit well with the fans.

The popular fantasy TV show, titled like its book series written by Robert Jordan, made its debut in 2021, breaking records on Amazon Prime Video for the most-watched series premiere. It drew substantial viewership, but after Season 3 received impressive ratings, it was unceremoniously cancelled. Since then, fans have been actively campaigning for a revival, initiating a petition and more recently, voicing their opinions on Amazon Prime Video’s social media accounts.

Lately, the latest posts on the streaming social media platform have been dominated by fans clamoring for a revival of “The Wheel of Time“. The Fourth of July commemorative post from Prime Video’s original series, “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde“, showcased numerous clips from the former. Many comments underneath the post included “#SaveWot” and “#RenewTheWheelOfTime”.

As a devoted cinephile, I’m just one of the many subscribers who have pledged their allegiance to the captivating world of “Wheel of Time”. Using the hashtags #SaveWOT and #RenewWheelofTime, I’ve joined thousands in signing a petition, available at this link, to ensure its continuation. It seems that every post I see, be it about original Prime Video releases or leased titles, carries this same heartfelt plea.

Remarkably, the petition for “Wheel of Time” has amassed close to 200k signatures since its debut, with over 193k voices united in their passion for this enchanting series. The show’s impressive ratings on its official website for the new season have put it at the top, surpassing other popular fantasy shows that have already been renewed, such as “House of the Dragon”, “The Witcher”, and “The Rings of Power”.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been quite intrigued by the buzz around the latest offering from ‘A Simple Favor’. The line that particularly caught my attention was, “It could make an outstanding sequel,” but it seems fans are more eagerly anticipating something else – ‘The Wheel of Time’.

With comments like, “Amazon, you’re not getting it. People want ‘The Wheel of Time’, not more Blake,” and “Come on! Why not bring back ‘The Wheel of Time’ instead? #saveWOT”, it’s clear that the demand for this series is overwhelming. It seems fans are ready to turn the page and dive into a new adventure, away from the current narrative.

The Wheel of Time Creator Voiced His Disappointment Over the Cancellation

As a devoted fan, I’ve been pondering the sudden departure of “The Wheel of Time” series, and I’ve decided to share my thoughts with you. Over the past week, many have inquired about the cancellation, and honestly, I, too, am left wondering. I wish there was a straightforward explanation that could bring closure to all those who cherish this magnificent story, but alas, I find myself unable to provide one. The truth is, I don’t know why “The Wheel of Time” has come to an end, and it pains me deeply.

In summary, “The Wheel of Time” series has generally received favorable reviews, with an overall average rating of 88% from critics and 75% from viewers. The first season garnered a 81% approval from the critics (earning the Certified Fresh badge) but only managed a barely positive 61% from audiences. However, the second season saw significant improvement in audience ratings, reaching an 81% approval and maintaining a high 86% score among critics. The third season took it up a notch, earning near-perfection from critics with a 97% approval rating (and the Certified Fresh badge) and achieving the highest viewer score of all seasons at 84%.
