"Wheel of Time" Canceled at Prime Video Despite Acclaimed Third Season

In a surprising move, the fantasy series "Wheel of Time" has been canceled by Prime Video after a well-received third season. The show, based on Robert Jordan's beloved book series, had faced some initial challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting production and a lead actor leaving the show before the finale of the first season.

However, by the third season, the series had found its footing, delivering a "well-acted, well-written, cohesive, deep show" that attracted "powerhouse actors" to play supporting roles. Lead actress Rosamund Pike acknowledged that the first season may not have been up to par, but the team had worked hard to improve the quality in subsequent seasons.
