Hopefully it will be picked up for season 4 and 5 where they can finish through book 6. Then condense books 7,8,9 into 1 season. Then condense the remaining books into the final season. Jordan was on the money grab after book 6 anyway. Besides the ending of book 9 which was awesome, I struggle to remember much of anything from book 7 on.

They're doing a decent job cutting/shortening shit which, if you've read the books, absolutely needs to happen. Still making some weird decisions on where and what certain characters are doing (Matt and Rand), but hopefully they still pay it off well. Also, thank Christ they've fixed the CGI. The first season looked like a shitty soap opera or WB show. Second season got a little better. This season it looks like they've finally locked it down.
March 31Mar 31 Yeah if it's ANY improvement on Season 2, which was a vast improvement over Season 1, then i'm looking foward to binging it.

March 31Mar 31 That spear of Rand's ancestor who was the first to go through the trial in Ruidean sure looks like a certain weapon someone wields later to great effect. This season has crossed over in to good territory I think. Most series usually go the opposite way, but at least they're figuring it out. Edited March 31Mar 31 by kevwun
March 31Mar 31 They haven't green lit season 4 yet which is concerning. I'm not sure there will be this kind of money thrown at WoT ever again. Hopefully it gets at least 6 seasons to finish the story.
May 2May 2 really liked this season a lot, final fight scene was fantastic. obviously not following the books to a high degree of fidelity but that might be ok, most stuff isn't written to be translated directly to tv (and the books had far too many lines going, jordan thought one more book needed to be written and sanderson wrote 3). do need more of rand starting to deal with who he is. hopefully they can get a greenlit for a few more seasons because it really feels like it has hit its stride and gone from fantasy side project to solid B/B+ tv.

May 2May 2 Hopefully they’re negotiating a multiple season renewal so they can just do them back to back quickly

May 23May 23 EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a third season. The decision, which comes more than a month after the Season 2 finale was released April 17, followed lengthy deliberations, sources said. As is often the case in the current economic environment, the reasons were financial as the series is liked creatively by the streamer’s executives.

May 24May 24 Welp. I suppose that's the last time in my lifetime we'll get a WoT adaptation. Just follow the books instead of putting your own shitty fan-fic on the screen right out of the gate. This is all on Rafe Judkins being a fuck up.

Give it three years and AI will be able to completely generate the whole thing according to the books.
May 27May 27 This sucks...the show was actually making progress. Changed quite a bit, obviously, but overall was on key.
July 16Jul 16 Just finished the most recent season last night. Enjoyed it as something to watch after Mrs. Doom inevitably falls asleep on the couch while we watch something else. I thought they did a great job with Moghidien (sp) - just such a creepy and off-putting and difficult character to figure out. Disappointed but not surprised that the shitheads in charge decided to ruin it.
