Islamabad, May 27, 2025: Amazon Prime Video has officially announced that The Wheel of Time will not return for a fourth season, leaving viewers shocked and the epic fantasy saga unfinished.
The decision follows extensive talks between Prime Video and co-producers Sony Pictures TV, reportedly due to the show’s steep production expenses and less-than-expected financial gains.
Adapted from Robert Jordan’s celebrated novel series, The Wheel of Time unfolds a vast fantasy realm brought to life by a cast led by Rosamund Pike. Though the show struggled during its initial seasons, with debates over deviations from the books, Season 3 was widely praised for finally capturing the essence of Jordan’s story.
Despite this critical upswing and a growing fan following, Prime Video decided that the cost outweighed the benefits of continuing the series.

On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), viewers voiced their frustration over the abrupt ending of a story they had followed closely for years.

The cancellation aligns with Amazon MGM Studios’ wider approach as it juggles other costly productions such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Though the show has ended on screen, the Wheel of Time universe isn’t fading away, an ambitious ‘AAA Open-World RPG’ game set in the same world is currently underway. For the devoted audience, however, this sudden halt means a longer wait for closure on a narrative that has now been left hanging.
