American Fantasy Series The Wheel Of Time Cancelled After Three Seasons
The Wheel Of Time co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios has been cancelled by streaming giant Amazon Prime after 3 seasons. The show was based on the bestselling novel series by Robert Jordan.
The announcement came within a month of the Season 3 finale. The last season was high on the magical charm of the show, high-end battles, and the rounding off of several character arcs.
As reported by Deadline, the reason behind cancelling the show was because of financial limitations. Season 3 had led to a significant decline in the viewership, hence Amazon MGM Studios had to think through their future investment.
The finale was still impressive as several plotlines reached its culmination, but the performances did not live up to the expectations that could lead to another season.
The show was led by Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Zoe Robins and Madeleine Madden, and the first season was released back in 2021. It soon emerged to be the most-watched series that year. Spanning 8 episodes, the series was one of the platform's top 5 series launches of all time.
The plot of the series revolves around a gang of young individuals who find themselves drawn towards a battle between the forces of light and darkness. The crux of the storyline is highlighted by a looming threat called the Dark One, which represents pure evil, and one who they have to confront.
The second season of the show came out in 2023 followed by the third and final season, which was released in March.
The third season of the series was based on the fourth book of the novel series, called The Shadow Rising. The season aired in March 2025 and concluded in April.

Glen Powell rules himself out as the next James Bond in future movies: ‘Get an authentic Brit for that job'
The Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell shut down speculation that he could step into the 007 role, saying, 'I'm Texan. A Texan should not play James Bond. My family and I joke around, I can play Jimmy Bond, but I should not be playing James Bond,' he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Glen Powell reacted to rumours of him becoming the next James Bond The 36-year-old went further, stressing that the part should stay in British hands. 'Get an authentic Brit for that job. That's who belongs in that tuxedo,' he added. The iconic character, created by Ian Fleming and played most recently by Daniel Craig in No Time to Die (2021), has only ever been portrayed by English, Scottish or Irish actors. Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing the next Bond film with Denis Villeneuve directing and Steven Knight writing, but the search for Daniel Craig's successor is still underway. Glen's name had been floated among fan circles, alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, Theo James, Regé-Jean Page, Harris Dickinson and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Several of those linked have already weighed in on the chatter — Taron Egerton has ruled himself out, Aaron Taylor-Johnson dodged the question last year, Henry Golding called Bond 'every actor's kind of nightmare,' while Tom Holland recently said it remains 'the pinnacle of working in our industry' for 'every young British actor.' As for Glen, his focus is firmly on what's next. Fresh off box office hits like Anyone But You, Twisters and Hit Man, he leads Edgar Wright's The Running Man, which is scheduled to release on November 14. His comedy series Chad Powers, co-created with Michael Waldron and based on a character from Eli Manning, will release in September this year.
