It was the show\u2019s best season yet. Critics loved it, fans were into it, and the numbers show it, a whopping <strong data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"408\">97% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"438\">82% audience approval<\/strong>. Not bad for a fantasy series that\u2019s been fighting to win people over since day one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"859\">But here\u2019s the thing: as of <strong data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"571\">April 18, 2025<\/strong>, Amazon still hasn\u2019t officially said <strong data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"616\">yes<\/strong> to a Season 4. Which is kinda wild, considering how much money and effort they\u2019ve poured into the show, not to mention the major leap forward in quality this season. With all that invested, it\u2019s hard to imagine they\u2019d just call it quits now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1358\"><strong data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"909\">Season 3 mostly adapted \u201cThe Shadow Rising,\u201d<\/strong> the fourth book in Robert Jordan\u2019s <em data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"960\">Wheel of Time<\/em> series,\u00a0 and one of the most beloved in the whole saga. But by jumping ahead (seasons 1 and 2 followed books 1 and 2), the story timeline has gotten a little messy. Some big characters, like Perrin, aren\u2019t even featured in Book 5, but obviously, they can\u2019t just leave him out of a whole season. So the writers are mixing and matching plotlines to keep the story moving and the main cast involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1531\">That means if we <em data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1381\">do<\/em> get a Season 4, it likely won\u2019t follow just one book. Instead, it\u2019ll be a mash-up of multiple novels, and that makes the plot much harder to predict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1685\">Bottom line? Fans want more, the reviews are better than ever, and the show\u2019s finally hitting its stride. Now it\u2019s up to Amazon to spin the wheel again.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIl4HeOp3zU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

But don\u2019t think the Dragon Reborn is done yet. There\u2019s still one big, glowing, magic-powered item he needs to claim before the final battle: <strong data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"579\">Callandor<\/strong>, the crystal sword.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"1056\">Callandor isn\u2019t just any weapon, it\u2019s a supercharged <strong data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"669\">sa\u2019angreal<\/strong>, a tool that massively amplifies a channeler\u2019s power. Moiraine used a similar item (Sakarnen) to take down Lanfear in the Season 3 finale. But Callandor is specifically tied to Rand\u2019s destiny, and <strong data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"910\">his story can\u2019t move forward without it<\/strong>. The prophecies, known as the <strong data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"960\">Karaethon Cycle<\/strong>, spell it out pretty clearly: to win the Last Battle, the Dragon Reborn has to claim Callandor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1220\">So, where is it? Hidden in the <strong data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1105\">Stone of Tear<\/strong>, a fortress built by the Aes Sedai using the One Power, and no one\u2019s been able to pull the sword out. Until Rand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1554\">This mission is the <strong data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1293\">main storyline from Book 3, <em data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1291\">The Dragon Reborn<\/em><\/strong>. Even though the show jumped ahead to adapt Book 4 (<em data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1365\">The Shadow Rising<\/em>) in Season 3, it looks like it\u2019ll circle back just for this piece of Book 3, probably early in Season 4. Moiraine even hinted at it when she said they now have an army ready to take Tear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1950\">But don\u2019t expect Rand to hang around Tear for long. After that, Season 4 will likely dive into events from <strong data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1696\">Book 5, <em data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1694\">The Fires of Heaven,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0where Rand faces off against new enemies, more Forsaken, and further challenges in Aiel territory. That\u2019s where things get tricky, because mixing book timelines means the show has to shuffle events around carefully without breaking key character arcs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"2144\">The big takeaway? Rand\u2019s next big move is getting <strong data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2015\">Callandor<\/strong>, and once that\u2019s done, it\u2019s full steam ahead toward the Last Battle, but not without a few twists, turns, and chaos in between.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIRGGRFNehy\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The introduction of <strong data-start=\"363\" data-end=\"388\">Queen Morgase Trakand<\/strong> in Season 3 set up some major character arcs, including the reveal of the <strong data-start=\"463\" data-end=\"475\">Forsaken<\/strong> character <strong data-start=\"486\" data-end=\"496\">Rahvin<\/strong>, who was operating under the guise of <strong data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"551\">Lord Gaebril<\/strong>. In Season 4, we can expect Rahvin to be one of the main villains, taking the lead after Lanfear\u2019s defeat. His storyline will probably unfold as Rand travels back to the <strong data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"734\">Wetlands<\/strong> after spending time in the <strong data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"776\">Aiel Waste<\/strong>, with the early episodes possibly wrapping up plotlines from the desert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1504\"><em data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"872\">The Fires of Heaven<\/em> also continues the fallout from the <strong data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"940\">Breaking of the White Tower<\/strong> and the chaos in <strong data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"970\">Tanchico<\/strong>. While some aspects, like <strong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1016\">Siuan Sanche\u2019s<\/strong> death, may be skipped or reworked for the show, <strong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1098\">a faction of rebel Aes Sedai<\/strong> is set to form in opposition to <strong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1141\">Elaida<\/strong>, which will be a big storyline moving forward. <strong data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1202\">Moghedien<\/strong>, one of the surviving Forsaken, will likely continue to have a major role, especially since <strong data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1306\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Nynaeve<\/strong> is still hunting her down. The mysterious <strong data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1369\">Domination Bands<\/strong> from <em data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1396\">The Fires of Heaven<\/em> could lead to a big storyline that sets up future events from <em data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1474\">Lord of Chaos<\/em>, the next book in the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1695\">Season 4 will be a crucial time for the show to set the stage for upcoming, high-stakes conflicts, especially as new villains like Rahvin emerge and the Aes Sedai face even more challenges.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIHTGfPtR-8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

At the end of <em data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"423\">Season 3<\/em>, the show set the stage for this by depicting <strong data-start=\"470\" data-end=\"511\">Elaida\u2019s control over the White Tower<\/strong>. Elaida, though not a Darkfriend, is convinced that the <strong data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"592\">Dragon Reborn (Rand)<\/strong> must be gentle, stripped of his ability to channel the One Power, for the good of the Light. She sees anyone who opposes her as working for the Dark One.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"1226\">Now that Elaida has more power at her disposal, her obsession with removing Rand will grow stronger. In a significant departure from the books, the show made it so that only <strong data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"944\">eight Aes Sedai<\/strong> (instead of thirteen) are needed to <strong data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"991\">gentle<\/strong> a man, which could lead to a much faster, more dangerous situation for Rand. This change adds more urgency to his need for caution, as anytime he finds himself surrounded by <strong data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1201\">eight or more female channelers<\/strong>, he\u2019s in serious danger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1510\">As <strong data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1243\">Season 4<\/strong> unfolds, the drama around the Aes Sedai\u2019s politics and their pursuit of Rand will likely play a large part in shaping his journey. With Elaida\u2019s growing power, Rand must be ever more careful, especially as he continues to grow into his role as the <strong data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1509\">Dragon Reborn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1510\">\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"176\"><strong data-start=\"112\" data-end=\"176\">Perrin\u2019s path forward: A twist and the children of the light<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"178\" data-end=\"725\">While <strong data-start=\"184\" data-end=\"194\">Perrin<\/strong> wasn\u2019t featured in <em data-start=\"214\" data-end=\"226\">Season 3\u2019s<\/em> finale of <em data-start=\"237\" data-end=\"256\">The Wheel of Time<\/em>, his storyline was a major focus in the penultimate episode. In a surprising twist that differs from the books, <strong data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"427\">Perrin surrenders himself to the Children of the Light<\/strong>. In <em data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"451\">The Shadow Rising<\/em> (book 4), the White Cloaks break their agreement to help fight the Trollocs, and Perrin refuses to go with them to face justice. The confrontation with <strong data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"621\">Dain Bornhald<\/strong> is delayed in the book series, but the show took a bold step by having Perrin make this decision early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"1116\">This twist in Perrin\u2019s arc sets up a crucial part of <strong data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"792\">Season 4<\/strong>, where his surrender to the White Cloaks will likely bring his storyline to a head, possibly even jumping ahead to <strong data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"930\">Towers of Midnight<\/strong> (book 13). This means <strong data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"986\">Perrin\u2019s plotline in Season 4<\/strong> could deal with his time under the Children of the Light, setting up a showdown that will test his loyalty, identity, and future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1476\">While Perrin still has unfinished business back in the <strong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1187\">Two Rivers<\/strong>, especially as he\u2019s been unofficially declared its lord, his current path leads him to follow Dain Bornhald and the White Cloaks. In the coming season, Perrin will likely face judgment by \u201cthe Light,\u201d which could have major consequences for his journey and the direction of his character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will there be a Wheel of Time season 4?
