As of April 19, 2025, Amazon Prime Video has not officially confirmed The Wheel of Time Season 4. However, there’s reason for optimism. The show’s third season, which adapted The Shadow Rising (Book 4) and parts of The Fires of Heaven (Book 5), has been critically acclaimed, with a 77/100 score on Metacritic and an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Wheel of Time Season 4 Release Date Speculation

With no official renewal yet, predicting The Wheel of Time Season 4 release date is purely speculative. However, looking at past timelines, each season has taken around 18 to 24 months from filming to release due to heavy post-production work. Season 1 debuted in November 2021, Season 2 followed in September 2023, and Season 3 arrived in March 2025. If Season 4 gets greenlit by mid-2025 and begins filming later that year or in early 2026, a late 2027 or early 2028 release seems likely.

The Wheel of Time Season 4 Expected Cast

If The Wheel of Time returns for Season 4, the core cast is expected to reprise their roles, continuing the journey of the Emond’s Field five and their allies. Based on Season 3’s ensemble and the story’s progression, the likely returning cast includes:

  • Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred, the Aes Sedai guiding the Dragon Reborn.

  • Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn facing his destiny.

  • Daniel Henney as Lan Mandragoran, Moiraine’s Warder.

  • Zoë Robins as Nynaeve al’Meara, a powerful channeler.

  • Madeleine Madden as Egwene al’Vere, an Aes Sedai in training.

  • Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara, battling his wolf-connected powers.

  • Dónal Finn as Mat Cauthon, entangled with the dagger’s curse.

The Wheel of Time Season 4 Potential Plot

Season 3 covered The Shadow Rising, focusing on Rand’s journey to the Aiel Waste, Perrin’s defense of the Two Rivers, and political turmoil in the White Tower. The season also introduced elements from The Fires of Heaven, such as Rand’s leadership among the Aiel and Elaida’s rise as Amyrlin Seat. Season 4 is expected to continue adapting The Fires of Heaven and possibly Lord of Chaos, with some story tweaks to streamline the narrative.
