Fans of The Wheel of Time are still buzzing from the epic Season 3 finale that hit Prime Video on April 18, 2025. The show, adapted from Robert Jordan’s massive 14-book fantasy saga, has delivered stunning visuals, gripping drama, and a world that keeps viewers hooked. But the burning question remains: Will there be a Season 4? Here’s everything we know so far.
Has The Wheel of Time Been Renewed for Season 4?
As of July 2025, Prime Video has not greenlit The Wheel of Time for a fourth season, and some tough news has surfaced. Reports from Deadline and Radio Times confirm the show was canceled after Season 3 due to financial reasons. With a reported $260 million spent on the first two seasons alone, the production is a costly beast. While Season 3 pulled in over 530 million minutes watched during its premiere week (per Nielsen), the viewership apparently didn’t match the high costs for Amazon’s liking. Season 3 earned strong praise, with a 77/100 on Metacritic and 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the numbers didn’t add up for the streamer.
That said, hope isn’t entirely lost. The show’s team remains passionate, with whispers of potentially shopping the series to other platforms. However, TV Line notes that “well-placed sources” say there are no current plans to pitch it elsewhere. Fans of shows like The Expanse, which found a new home after cancellation, know that miracles can happen, but it’s a long shot for now.
When Will Season 4 Release?
If another platform picks up the show or Amazon reconsiders, don’t expect Season 4 anytime soon. The series’ complex production, with its detailed sets and heavy VFX, takes time. Season 1 launched in November 2021, Season 2 in September 2023, and Season 3 in March 2025—roughly 18 to 24 months apart. If filming begins in late 2025 or early 2026, a release could land in late 2027 or early 2028. Patience is key for epic fantasy!
