Netflix Should Pick Up ‘The Wheel Of Time’ After Amazon Cancels Its Best Live-Action Fantasy Show

Amazon canceled The Wheel of Time, an adaptation of Robert Jordan's epic fantasy, after three seasons on Prime Video.
The cancellation reportedly followed lengthy financial deliberations despite the show's strong viewership and nearly 20 weeks in the Nielsen Top 10.
Showrunner Rafe Judkins expressed his commitment to finishing the story, lamented TV trends toward shorter seasons, and shared the cast's emotional response to the cancellation.
Over 130,000 fans signed petitions to save the series, and author Brandon Sanderson called the cancellation a shame, noting the fanbase deserved better after the best season.
Judkins and fans hope another network might revive the series to complete its story, reflecting concerns about current streaming strategies affecting long-form storytelling.
