by

Summary

  • Fans launch “Save WOT” campaign with petition to revive The Wheel of Time after Amazon’s cancellation.
  • Over 73,500 people sign petition urging other streaming platforms to save the acclaimed series.
  • Amazon canceled The Wheel of Time after its strongest season due to financial reasons, leaving fans shocked and wanting more.

It’s possible that Amazon chose to discontinue “The Wheel of Time” following a fantastic Season 3, but fans haven’t given up hope and have initiated an internet campaign to preserve the show instead.

In March 2025, Season 3 of the popular Prime Video show “The Wheel of Time” aired and concluded with a thrilling finale, laying a solid groundwork for Season 4. The third installment garnered almost unanimous praise from both critics and viewers, making it the top-rated season in the series on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans eagerly anticipated Season 4, but were disheartened when Amazon announced that the show wouldn’t be renewed for a fourth season. Since then, fans have been actively campaigning to ensure the story concludes properly by initiating an online petition to persuade other streaming services to continue the series and provide “The Wheel of Time” with the fitting finale it deserves.

‘Save WOT’ trends on social media as fans sign the petition in large numbers

Supporters have initiated an enthusiastic effort called “Save WOT“, including a dedicated website, to garner enthusiasm for “The Wheel of Time” following Amazon’s decision not to proceed with Season 4. The objective of this movement is to exhibit the enduring love for the series and persuade another streaming service to take it up. The homepage of the site offers a link to a ‘Sign Petition’ page, where fans can sign the petition, spread the word about the campaign, and join the crusade. Upon clicking on the ‘Sign Petition’ button, they are redirected to a separate page displaying reasons provided by the petition creators as to why the show deserves renewal or continuation.

One letter is penned to Sony Pictures Television, another is directed towards Amazon MGM Studios, each urging the studio to renew the series for a fourth season. In contrast, the third and concluding letter is intended for various streaming platforms. In this correspondence, the petitioners encourage other video streaming services to acquire the fantasy series as it resonates with audiences worldwide. Currently, over 73,500 individuals have added their signatures to the petition. The movement ‘#SaveWOT’ has gained traction on social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook.

Why did Amazon cancel the series after its strongest season?

I was absolutely stunned when Amazon revealed their decision to scrap the series, leaving us without a proper ending. According to Deadline, the cancellation was due to financial constraints. I understand that such things happen with studios and streaming platforms from time to time, but it was particularly disheartening to see a production titan like Amazon pull the plug on the show after its most outstanding season yet. The third season of “The Wheel of Time,” as critics have lauded, excelled in storytelling, acting, visuals, and emotional depth. It currently boasts an impressive 97% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-rated season in the entire series. What’s more, the way the third season concluded offered a promising platform for the creators to delve deeper into the series with greater complexity.

As a devoted fan of The Wheel of Time series, I often ponder about the profound impact Siuan Sanche’s untimely demise might have had on Moiraine. In the books, we witness Siuan’s tragic end during the climactic battle. However, in this captivating saga, Siuan was falsely accused, subjected to a sham trial, and ultimately killed by her own Aes Sedai sisters. Elaida then ascends the throne and governs with an iron fist.

Meanwhile, Rand al’Thor cleverly convinces everyone that he is the Car’a’carn, leading the Aiel to battle the Dark One. Yet, Egwene remains skeptical about Rand’s control over his powers. These plotlines, left unexplored in depth, are among the many intriguing aspects of this epic tale that leave me yearning for more.

In a chat with Game Rant, the showrunner Rafe Judkins mentioned his intention to delve into the dynamic between characters Rand and Egwene in upcoming seasons. According to Judkins, it’s unique because Egwene is the only one who doesn’t submit to Rand, and their bond has shifted from harmony to a possible source of tension. This storyline is particularly captivating due to this change. However, with the show being discontinued, viewers are left wondering if they’ll ever witness this narrative unfold, and there are other unanswered questions as well.

All three seasons of The Wheel of Time are available for streaming on Prime Video.
