Following season 3, Prime Video has decided not to renew The Wheel Of Time, based on Robert Jordan's book series. According to Deadline, "the reasons were financial as the series is liked creatively by the streamer's executives," and the third season finale was "designed to offer some closure."
In 2021, when the fantasy drama first premiered, it launched as the biggest original series debut in Prime Video history at the time. Since then, it remains among the top three series debuts of all time on the streaming platform.
In The Wheel of Time, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor, learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches.
The cast includes Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, Daniel Henney as al’Lan Mandragoran, Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al'Meara, Madeleine Madden as Egwene al'Vere, Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon, Ceara Coveney as Elayne Trakand, Kate Fleetwood as Leandrin Guirale, Natasha O’Keeffe as Lanfear, Ayoola Smart as Aviendha, Kae Alexander as Min Farshaw, Sophie Okenedo as Siuan Sanche, and Shohreh Aghdashloo as Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan.
Showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkins adapted The Wheel of Time for TV with Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios co-producing. Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon of iwot Studios, Ted Field of Radar Pictures, Mike Weber, Marigo Kehoe, Ciaran Donnelly, Justine Juel Gillmer, Dave Hill, and Pike also executive produced.
After defeating Ishamael, one of the most powerful of the Forsaken, at the end of Season Two, Rand reunites with his friends in the city of Falme and is declared the Dragon Reborn. But in Season Three, the threats against the Light are multiplying: the White Tower stands divided, the Black Ajah run free, old enemies return to the Two Rivers, and the remaining Forsaken are in hot pursuit of the Dragon… including Lanfear, whose relationship with Rand will mark a crucial choice between Light and Dark for them both. As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene. These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark…no matter the cost.
