Is Wheel Of Time Getting A Season 3 At Prime Video?

Season 3 will be based on The Shadow Rising
“The Wheel Of Time” season 1 ended with Rand Al’Thor (Stradowski) being identified as the Dragon Reborn, Moiraine fighting the Dark One’s messenger at the Eye of the World, and the discovery that a final battle between good and evil is yet to come. The finale ended with a cliffhanger of sorts that saw the arrival of ships in an unknown location, with formidable women using the One Power to make a tsunami loom over the shores. We’re sure to meet them again because season 2 is coming — and with a third chapter on the way, it looks like the events of “The Shadow Rising,” the fourth book in Jordan’s fantasy series, will find their way from page to screen.
While there’s no release date for season 2 or 3 yet, here’s what Judkins has to say about season 3:
“The Shadow Rising has always been my favorite book in the series, so being able to bring it to television and introduce new audiences to the stories that made me fall in love with these books in the first place is such an honor, and something I’ve been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago.”

The Wheel Of Time redefines fantasy
“Season One resonated with the most loyal of Jordan devotees, as well as the uninitiated, who were experiencing this incredible world for the first time, proving this is a show that truly stands out in the genre space. We couldn’t be happier to give fans more reasons to be excited about the show and bring more [of] The Wheel of Time to our customers worldwide.”
The streamer’s biggest project ever — their “Lord of the Rings” prequel, which adapts the heroic legends lived in the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history is reportedly the most expensive television show ever made. It is said to have cost $465 million (although the rights for the project cost $250 million) for one season alone. All I’m going to say is … it’s a good time to be a fantasy fan.
