“The Wheel of Time” has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon Prime Video.
The fantasy series, based on the book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, followed Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of an incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, who embarks on a global journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity. Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski ) realizes in Season 2 that he is the subject of the prophesy, and in Season 3, competing forces pull him towards both good and evil as Moiraine and Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden) work to keep him on the right path.
Along with Pike, Stradowski and Madden, the cast included Daniel Henney, Zoë Robins, Marcus Rutherford, Dónal Finn, Ceara Coveney, Kate Fleetwood, Natasha O’Keeffe, Ayoola Smart, Kae Alexander and Sophie Okonedo.
Rafe Judkins adapted “The Wheel of Time” for television and served as showrunner. Executive producers included Judkins; Pike; Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon of Iwot productions; Ted Field of Radar Pictures; Mike Weber; Marigo Kehoe; Ciaran Donnelly; Justine Juel Gillmer; and Dave Hill. The series was co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
In April, Variety exclusively reported that Iwot Studios was developing a video game based on “The Wheel of Time.” The studio said at the time that the game was intended to ” build on the global success” of the TV series, and would be in development for about three years.
