American Fantasy Series The Wheel Of Time Cancelled After Three Seasons
New Delhi:
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.

Infiltrada en el búnker OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Pablo de la Chica-directed Spanish documentary
Infiltrada en el búnker OTT Release Date: Amazon Prime Video will drop one of the most disturbing and courageous documentaries of the year on June 27, 2025. Directed by Pablo de la Chica, this Spanish documentary is a result of two years of real-life undercover investigation by a woman who risked everything - her identity, safety, and sanity to uncover what happens behind the closed doors of a pharmaceutical animal testing lab. Shot in secret with hidden cameras and packed with raw, often hard-to-watch footage, this is the true story of a woman who became a witness to systemic cruelty, all while pretending to be part of the very system she set out to expose. Note: Viewer discretion is advised due to the sensitive nature of the content. The story behind the documentary The film chronicles the courageous journey of Carlota Saorsa, an undercover investigator who spent two years infiltrating a pharmaceutical laboratory to expose the heartbreaking realities of animal experimentation. Operating under the codename "The Bunker," her mission involved capturing hundreds of hours of hidden camera footage, revealing disturbing instances of animal abuse. To protect Saorsa's identity, the documentary employs a unique narrative approach: actress Goize Blanco portrays Saorsa in dramatised segments, seamlessly integrated with the real undercover footage. Infiltrada en el búnker has been executive produced by Marias Recarte, Rosaura Romero, David Casas Riesco, and Fernando Lueches under the banner of Amazon MGM Studios, Salon Indien Films, and En Cero Coma (a Fremantle label). Beyond its investigative core, Infiltrada en el búnker serves as a catalyst for a broader conversation on the ethics of animal testing in scientific research. So, mark your calendars for this bone-chilling experience, which promises to leave a lasting impact on its audience.
