The Wheel of Time Season 3 proved what fantasy fans have been arguing for weeks: this series didn’t just find its groove, it mastered it. From jaw-dropping visuals to sharp character arcs, the third outing hit harder than any fantasy show in recent memory. And now, with its cancelation confirmed (via Deadline), it feels like Prime Video has pulled the plug right when the show became truly elite.

The season opened strong and didn’t fumble once. From the premiere’s world-shifting tone to the finale’s emotionally charged payoff, the momentum never dropped. Each episode packed its own punch while building something bigger. Episode 4 and the finale? Pure fantasy fireworks. Even Episode 7, a risky solo tale, kept us locked in. The writing was crisp, the direction tighter than ever, and the performances next-level. Rosamund Pike’s Moiraine remained the backbone, but the entire cast stepped up.

According to Collider’s Carly Lane, the season “hovers around its most compelling themes of fate, destiny, and futures that may or may not happen… through riveting performances, stunning new locations, well-defined worldbuilding, and an arguably timeless fantasy narrative that more than deserves to play out for as many renewals as it takes to reach the very end.” And yet, Prime Video said no.
