The Wheel of Time has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon’s Prime Video streamer.

The series, from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios and based on Robert Jordan’s best-selling series of fantasy novels, aired its third-season finale on April 17.

At the time, showrunner Rafe Judkins, who adapted the series for television, addressed the show’s uncertain future in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Judkins said he’d been asking Amazon, “What is the end game for the show? I really want to deliver this full series, so how do we best do that?”

He argued that part of why he and his creative team chose Amazon was because the streamer “felt like a place where they do want to invest in shows for the long term. There are not a lot of places doing that anymore. For Wheel of Time, it’s really important for...

“The Wheel of Time” has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon Prime Video.

The fantasy series, based on the book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, followed Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of an incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, who embarks on a global journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity. Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski ) realizes in Season 2 that he is the subject of the prophesy, and in Season 3, competing forces pull him towards both good and evil as Moiraine and Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden) work to keep him on the right path.

Along with Pike, Stradowski and Madden, the cast included Daniel Henney, Zoë Robins, Marcus Rutherford, Dónal Finn, Ceara Coveney, Kate Fleetwood, Natasha O’Keeffe, Ayoola Smart, Kae Alexander and Sophie Okonedo.

“The Wheel of Time” has run out its run at Prime Video. The Rosamund Pike-led adaptation of the fantasy novel series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will not return for Season 4 at the streaming platform, TheWrap has learned.

The news comes after Prime Video announced the renewal of its other big-budget drama series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” for Season 3. Amid industry contraction, high-budget fantasy dramas seem prone for the chopping block across linear and streaming. “The Wheel of Time” is believed to have been too expensive to justify given its viewership performance.

“The Wheel Of Time” launched strong, becoming Prime Video’s most-watched series premiere of 2021 and one of the platform’s top debuts of all time. Season 3 saw its viewership slip, leaving Nielsen’s top 10 originals chart after three weeks, before making one last appearance after the launch of its finale.

“The Wheel of Time” stars Pike,...

Exclusive: Prime Video will not be renewing The Wheel of Time for a fourth season. 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 TV adaptation of the book series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, co-produced by Sony Pictures TV and Amazon MGM Studios, is a high-end, pricey fantasy drama, which ushered in the genre on Prime Video, later joined by The Lord Of the Rings: The Rings Of Power.

Starring Rosamund Pike, The Wheel Of Time got off to a strong start in 2021 as Prime Video’s most watched series premiere of the year and one of the platform’s Top 5 series launches of all time.

Three seasons in, the series has remained...

Just over one month after the finale, Prime Video has released the official blooper reel for The Wheel of Time Season 3. The reel is nearly three minutes long of pure fun and laughs for Wheel of Time fans, which comes at a good time. Despite the show going off the air more than a month ago in a finale that was exceptionally well-received, Prime Video has yet to renew The Wheel of Time for a fourth season. Fans launched a renewal campaign at the start of May that has yet to bear fruit, which came not long after showrunner Rafe Judkins teased a “very different” Season 4, if the team gets the chance to make it. Fans remain hopeful that Prime Video will make the renewal announcement sooner rather than later.

Starring in the lead role of Moraine Damodred in The Wheel of Time is Rosamund Pike, who is one of...

Last week, The Wheel of Time aired one of the most ambitious episodes in its entire run: "The Road to the Spear," where chosen one Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and his Aes Sedai mentor Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) journeyed into the sacred Aiel city of Rhuidean. This is a key part of Robert Jordan's book series, and it was equally important for the TV show. Over the course of the episode, Rand goes on a heart-wrenching vision quest where he experiences important events in the lives of his ancestors, laying bare the history of the Aiel. Meanwhile, Moiraine is subjected to the Wise One's trial of the Three Rings, which bombards her mind with glimpses of possible, often tragic, futures.

Each of those visions required new costuming and sets — or in the case of Stradowski, prosthetics to make him look like completely different people. Filming "The Road to the Spear...

Prime Video's The Wheel of Timehas successfully expanded the world of Robert Jordan's books by making the TV versions of the characters so memorable.

Feature debutant Colm Bairéad’s Berlin-winning “An Cailín Ciúin” (“The Quiet Girl”) was the big film winner at the 2022 Irish Film and Television Academy awards on Saturday with eight wins.

“An Cailín Ciúin” won best film, director and lead actress for Catherine Clinch in addition to a raft of craft awards. Bairéad also won the rising star award.

Creators Ciaran Donnelly and Peter McKenna’s “Kin” led the television awards with six wins including best drama, script for McKenna, lead actress drama for Clare Dunne, lead actor drama for Sam Keeley and supporting actress drama for Maria Doyle Kennedy.

Ciaran Hinds won both the film and drama supporting actor awards on the night for “Belfast” and “Kin” respectively. Overall, despite a slew of nominations, it was a disappointing outing at the awards for Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast,” which, besides Hinds’ win, won script for Branagh and nothing else.

Nominations have been announced for this year’s Irish Film And TV Academy Awards (IFTAs). Scroll down for the full list.

Leading the way with ten apiece are Kenneth Branagh’s much-fancied awards contender Beflast and Irish-language feature An Cailín Ciúin, which recently won the Grand Prix of the Generation Kplus program at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Both titles are up for Best Film, alongside Deadly Cuts, Swan Song, Who We Love, and You Are Not My Mother. Of those six, four are debut features.

For Belfast, Branagh will also contend for the Best Director and Best Script prizes. The film is up for seven Oscars this year.

On the TV Side, crime drama Kin dominated the field with 13 nominations, including Best Drama, as well as director, script, actor (twice) and actress. Vikings:Valhalla, the Netflix sequel of the popular historical show, received seven noms, as did BBC show Hidden Assets.

Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” and Colm Bairéad “An Cailín Ciúin” lead nominations at the 2022 Irish Film and Television Academy Film and Drama award nominations with 10 nods across categories.

“Belfast” is nominated for best film, best director and script for Branagh, with a lead actor nod for Jude Hill, supporting actor recognitions for Ciarán Hinds and Jamie Dornan and a supporting actress nod for Caitríona Balfe, besides craft nominations.

“An Cailín Ciúin” (“The Quiet Girl”), which won the grand prize at the Generation Kplus strand of the recently concluded Berlin Film Festival, was similarly recognized across the main categories.

“Kin” led the drama nominations with 13 nods, while “Vikings: Valhalla” and “Hidden Assets” had seven each and “Smother” five.

IFTA chief executive Áine Moriarty said: “What a spectacular line-up of nominees that have been shortlisted for Irish Academy Awards this year, after a record-breaking production year for the Irish industry. The work...

“The Wheel weaves as the wheel wills.” If you’ve been searching for a new fantasy series to sink into, the first three episodes of “The Wheel of Time” debuted on Amazon Prime Video on Friday.

New episodes of the fantasy series based on the best-selling novels by Robert Jordan, will premiere every Friday leading up to the season finale on December 24.

Set in a sprawling world where magic exists but only certain women are allowed to access it, “The Wheel of Time” centers around Moraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of an all-powerful, all-female organization known as the Aes Sedai. Moraine arrives in the small town of Two Rivers to embark on a dangerous,...

Every streaming service needs a breakout series.

Netflix had House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, Hulu had The Handmaid's Tale, and Apple TV+ had Ted Lasso.

If the first six episodes are any indication, Kin should be the breakout series for AMC+, and it's all thanks to the superb writing, acting, and directing.

Coming from Peter McKenna (The Last Kingdom) and Ciaran Donnelly (Altered Carbon), Kin focuses on one of the biggest crime families in Dublin, the Kinsellas, and how they process the loss of one of their own.

The beauty of a series like Kin is that none of the characters are guaranteed safety. Instead, the culture of crime families at war ensures that a devastating turn of events could change everything on a dime.

Charlie Cox (Daredevil) plays Michael Kinsella, a man who gets out of prison after several years and is slowly pulled back into his old ways.

AMC+ announced on Thursday that it has has acquired the rights to three crime drama series: Cold Courage, Kin and Too Close.

The first to premiere on the streaming service is Lionsgate’s Cold Courage, which will hit AMC+ on Thursday, March 11. Based on the award-winning and best-selling novels from Finnish journalist Pekka Hiltunen, Cold Courage follows two women as they collide during a series of murders in present-day London. Mari (Pihla Viitala), a fierce psychologist, and Lia (Sofia Pekkari), a shy graphic artist, are drawn together through the “Studio” – a clandestine group of like-minded people operating off the grid, dedicated to righting the wrongs of the powerful, influential and corrupt.

John Simm appears as populist politician Arthur Fried and joins fellow cast-members Caroline Goodall and Arsher Ali. Jakob Eklund, Peter Coonan and Matteo Simoni also star.

The series was adapted for the screen by David Joss Buckley and Brendan Foley.

Bear-wrestling and anachronistic tableware feature in the latest episode of Vikings season 4...

This review contains spoilers.

4.3 Mercy

This week's Vikings peaked in, if not a shared vision, at least what appeared to be simultaneous ones, as the figure of the dearly departed Aethelstan appeared to both Ragnar and Ecbert with very different messages.

For Ragnar, that message was summed up in a single word, "Mercy." And this communication might initially have seemed to us the clearer of the two: a plea from the Christian monk for his friend to grant clemency to the man who murdered him. Whether it is that Lothbrok is unable to forgive the boat-maker who deprived him of his English friend and therefore only shows compassion in the name of Helga or he knew Aethelstan well enough to know that that's actually who the monk sought forgiveness for in the first place is not entirely clear.

Vikings season 4 promises political intrigue, cultural clashes, fascinating characters and kickass battles. Welcome back!

This review contains spoilers.

4.1 A Good Treason

Vikings is back, and oh, what a joy!

Generally, before a new season of a show I’m reviewing starts, I go back and rewatch the previous season to prepare… to get myself back into the story. I admit that I didn’t do that with Vikings this time. The little one who had the good sense to be born last year just in time to give me maternity leave to write about last season’s Vikings is now a ravaging Viking himself, leaving Mummy little time to do more than is strictly necessary. As a result, it’s been months since I’ve seen an episode and got to experience the season premiere with new(ish) eyes.

Ciarán Donnelly’s establishing shot, then, following Ragnar...

International awards won by Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore.

Tomm Moore animation Song Of The Sea has been named Best Film at the 12th Ifta Awards for Film and Drama in Dublin.

The film about a little girl who can turn into a seal was Oscar nominated earlier this year, missing out to Big Hero 6.

But the Irish Film and Television Academy chose it above nominees Frank, Glassland, I Used To Live Here, Noble and Patrick’s Day.

Comedy Frank, starring Michael Fassbender, won three awards including best director for Lenny Abrahamson, best supporting actor for Domhnall Gleeson and best director of photography for James Mather.

Family drama Patrick’s Day also scored a hat-trick, winning best actor for Moe Dunford, best script for writer-director Terry McMahon and best sound.

Biopic Noble, directed by Stephen Bradley, won best actress for Deirdre O’Kane and best supporting actress for Sarah Greene, who was also...
