The Wheel of Time: Prime Video Cancels Series After 3 Seasons

Prime Video has reportedly canceled its Rosamund Pike-starring adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels after three seasons.

A little more than a month after the third season wrapped up its run, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Prime Video has canceled Showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins's Rosamund Pike-starring series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels. Reports are that the decision was made following "lengthy deliberations," but the series was reportedly doomed after looking at the cost of the series in comparison to how it had been performing on the streaming service. Regarding Nielsen's Top 10 Originals ranking, the series was on the charts for its first two seasons but fell off after the third episode of Season 3 (though The Wheel of Time saw critical praise and its Rotten Tomatoes score grew over the course of the three seasons).

Prime Video's The Wheel of Time stars Rosamund Pike as Moiraine, Josha Stradowski as Rand al'Thor, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al'Meara, Barney Harris (Dónal Finn in S02) as Mat Cauthon, Madeleine Madden as Egwene al'Vere, Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Michael McElhatton as Tam al'Thor, Álvaro Morte as Logain Ablar, Hammed Animashaun as Loial, Alexandre Willaume as Thom Merrilin, Johann Myers as Padan Fain, Jennifer Cheon Garcia as Leane Sharif, Priyanka Bose as Alanna Mosvani, Emmanuel Imani as Ihvon, and Taylor Napier as Maksim.

The cast also included Ayoola Smart, Guy Roberts, Arnas Fedaravicius, Gregg Chillingirian, Maja Simonsen, Ragga Ragnars, Jay Duffy & Rima Te Wiata.

Amazon's The Wheel of Time is executive produced by showrunner Rafe Judkins (Chuck, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), alongside Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon of Red Eagle Entertainment, Ted Field and Mike Weber of Radar Pictures, and Darren Lemke. Harriet McDougal serves as a consulting producer. Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios and based on Robert Jordan's novels, The Wheel of Time will launch in over 200 countries and territories.
