Amazon Cancels The Wheel of Time After Season 3

Amazon Prime Video has officially canceled The Wheel of Time following the conclusion of its third season. The final season wrapped up on April 17, 2025. Although the show maintained a dedicated fanbase and received generally positive reviews, it ultimately did not deliver the breakout success Amazon had hoped for.

The third season, which premiered on March 13, 2025, adapted events from the fourth book in Robert Jordan’s series, The Shadow Rising. It featured significant developments including the exploration of the city of Rhuidean and deepened the focus on Rand al’Thor’s destiny.

The cancellation is part of a broader industry trend of cutting back on large-scale fantasy productions as streaming platforms reassess their investments in high-budget content.
