It looks like another fan-favorite Amazon Prime Video series has come to an end. This time the streaming platform decided this show was concluded after airing 3 seasons on their streaming platform.
It looks like it took Amazon Prime “lengthy deliberations” to come to this decision. The economic environment just wasn’t feasible enough to keep this series going, apparently, as “the streamer’s executives” are said to have liked the series “creatively.”
While the series initially performed well, it seems as though ratings began to slip during its third season, leading to this tough decision. Though because they knew the end was coming, it’s been said that “the Season 3 finale was designed to offer some closure.”
While fans would have no doubt liked to have had more seasons to continue the story – it’s nice that the series will offer some kind of conclusion.
As many are already quite aware, there are several different shows that end on a massive cliffhanger that never gets resolved, leading to viewers feeling like they did not get any answers at all to many questions they were left with.
As shared via Deadline:
“Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a fourth season. The decision, which comes more than a month after the Season 3 finale was released April 17, followed lengthy deliberations.”
It’s certainly an unfortunate announcement as The Wheel of Time had plenty of potential to continue running on the platform. The series, based on the book series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, is a fantasy drama that became Prime Video’s most watched series premiere in 2021. It was also one of the Top 5 series launches of all time for Amazon Prime.
As such, fans can continue to watch the existing three seasons of The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional streaming and television updates as we have them. It’s certainly become a tough industry for high-concept shows like this to thrive, but at least fans got a worthwhile three seasons out of this particular property.
