https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2025/05/23/some-very-bad-news-for-wheel-of-time-season-4-as-amazon-does-the-unthinkable/ Here's something that the author of this Forbes.com article wrote which I find a lot of agreement with: And while it’s obvious that the books and the show diverged in too many ways to list, I appreciated that the third season actually made for great TV. This is in stark contrast to the steaming pile of orc manure that is Amazon’s other big fantasy show, The Rings Of Power. For whatever reason – pride, perhaps – Amazon has renewed Rings Of Power despite its massive decline in viewership, while cancelling the wildly superior Wheel Of Time. Truly, I will never understand the decisions these streaming executives make. Sure, there are many ways that Wheel Of Time could have been better. While there was no feasible way to stick to the letter of the source material, a lot of the changes were definitely questionable, even in Season 3. Obviously, it would have been great if the first season had been stronger so that more fans stuck around as the show improved. But the cast was really starting to come into its own by Season 3, and all the talented actors and design team that made Season 3 the strongest yet deserved a chance at making Season 4 and beyond. Not finishing the story is a real slap in the face to all the loyal fans who did stick around. Perhaps live-action is not the best way to adapt these long, ultimately very expensive, fantasy epics. An animated Wheel Of Time, for instance, could stick closer to the source material while costing a fraction of what a live-action series costs. Amazon’s best fantasy series, The Legend Of Vox Machina, proves that you can do a lot more with fantasy when it’s animated while still capturing all the life and action and magic of the story.

I ain't sure if the moderators will all approve of the posting of a website which has a petition to Amazon.com and Sony Television. However, I hope that everyone on Dragonmount.com will sign this petition, and encourage your friends to also do so. https://renewwot.com/

https://theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/into-shayol-ghul-the-making-of-a I met Robert Jordan in 2005, early on The Knife of Dreams tour when he signed at my store in Santa Cruz. One of the great pleasures of my bookselling career was the lovely chat my staff and I had with him and his wife Harriet McDougal before the event. They were truly a remarkable and charming couple. Tragically Robert Jordan died in 2007 after struggling with a rare blood disease. Fans feared his work would go unfinished, but McDougal—his longtime editor—enlisted author Brandon Sanderson to complete The Wheel of Time based on notes left by Jordan. Darrell Sweet, of course, provided art for the epic series until the very last book. When he passed away in 2011, the publisher commissioned Michael Whelan to illustrate the cover for the final book, A Memory of Light. Upon seeing the finished painting, Harriet McDougal remarked: “That is the Rand I have waited to see for twenty years.” Today, I’m so pleased to expand on Michael’s story of how that cover came to be.

https://winteriscoming.net/rosamund-pike-explains-why-the-wheel-of-time-deserves-more-seasons I like this article a lot. One of the most hopeful things in it for a great reason to renew the WoT for Season 4 is that it appears to be a big hit in the international markets.

Is this going to be your very first re-read of this series?

Although The Wheel of Time is my personal number 1 favorite series of novels of ALL time, I wouldn't have minded one little bit if the long, long Shaido arc after they were defeated in The Fires of Heaven was removed from the series. I understand why Robert Jordan made that arc wit the captivities necessary because that was the plot line used to show growth in the characters of Perrin and everyone with him. However, the Wheel of Time stories would have been just fine without the Shaido rampaging through the Wetlands. Also, the stories and characters of the Prophet and his henchmen, as well as the chapters with the Kin really didn't interest me very much. Whenever I do another re-read, I skim quickly through those chapters.

May I ask where you purchased the first season on DVD for the Wheel of Time? I want to buy those dvd's also.
