Long-time Slashdot reader SchroedingersCat shares this article from Deadline:
Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a fourth season
according to Deadline article. The decision, which comes more than a month
after the Season 3 finale was released April 17, followed lengthy
deliberations. As often is the case in the current economic environment, the
reasons were financial as the series is liked creatively by the streamer's
executives... The Season 3 overall performance was not strong enough compared
to the show's cost for Prime Video to commit to another season and the
streamer could not make it work after examining different scenarios and
following discussions with lead studio Sony TV, sources said. With the
cancellation possibility - and the show's passionate fanbase - in mind, the
Season 3 finale was designed to offer some closure. Still, the news would be
a gut punch for fans who have been praising the latest season as the series'
best yet creatively... Prime Video and Sony TV will continue to back the Emmy
campaign for The Wheel of Time's third season.
