“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...

The third season of The Wheel of Time has ended, but with a fantasy show this dense, there’s plenty of little details to ponder while wait for the follow-up. The third season of Prime Video’s fantasy show was its best and most ambitious yet, with some serious twists and turns. For example, in the season finale, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo) was ousted from her position as the Amyrlin Seat of the Aes Sedai in a coup, stilled, and then tortured. That was shocking enough, but the television show took it a step further, executing Siuan moments after she gave a defiant speech to the new Amyrlin, Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo).

In a finale filled with important moments, Siuan's might have been the biggest, at least in terms of its ramifications for the wider world. With her dead, the leadership of the White Tower is now in the hands of...

The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time are out now on Prime Video, bringing viewers back into the vivid fantasy world of Robert Jordan's beloved book series. We've been poring over them this morning, because these are three very full episodes. The first, "To Race the Shadow," saw all hell break lose in Tar Valon as the sisters of the Black Ajah made good their escape, before Rand al'Thor (Josha Stradowski) and the rest of our heroes went their separate ways. The second, "A Question of Crimson," delved into the complicated politics of the White Tower as Queen Morgase (Olivia Williams) and her advisor Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo) arrived on the scene to demand answers of the Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo).

The series was quickly renewed for a second and third season and season two is finally upon us. Prime Video has announced that The Devil’s Hour season two will stream on the platform from 18th October.

Verin's Black Ajah journey is introduced early in The Wheel of Time season 2, adding a unique layer to her character's development. TV format allows for showing multiple character perspectives at once, enhancing the storytelling experience for viewers. Starting Verin's arc sooner may impact the big reveal later on, but it sets the stage for a deeper exploration in future seasons.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time booksThe Wheel Of Time season 2 added another major departure from the Robert Jordan novels, teasing a future story long before its book appearance. This alteration relates to Verin, the Aes Sedai played by Meera Syal, who was introduced in the second season. Verin will have a significant role to play in the possible Black Ajah conflict that may arise as soon as season 3. Her part in this storyline will involve a shocking twist for her character, and it's something that...

Carol Vorderman, the maths genius and political activist who was on Countdown for 26 years, will deliver this year’s Alternative MacTaggart at the Edinburgh TV Festival.

Vorderman’s speech will precede the publication of her first book, Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain, and she has become a voice in the political landscape of late, arguing passionately against the ruling Conservative Party and its policies.

Vorderman will “bring her extensive experience in TV and frontline of social media campaigning to her address,” the fest said, and she will then be interviewed to discuss in further depth.

Vorderman made a name for herself when she landed a job as the maths genius on Channel 4’s Countdown, the only C4 show to have been airing since the network’s inception. She worked on the show for 26 years, making a name for herself for her exceptionally quick maths and simultaneously smooth presenting style.

Exclusive: The second season of We Are Lady Parts has dropped to acclaim on both sides of the pond and now Nida Manzoor, its creator, writer and director is back at her laptop working up projects including an ‘alt Bond’ spy movie.

Season two follows the titular punk band as they gain some recognition and navigate the choppy waters of the music business, meeting some of its sharks along the way. They also have to contend with competition from Gen-z upstart band, Second Wife.

The sophomore run sees each member of the band grappling with different issues, with comedic and dramatic consequences in equal measure: Amina (Anjana Vasan) moves...

The actor impresses in a dialled-down performance but can’t rescue this unconvincing film about a woman whose husband has a traumatic brain-injury

Well-meaning but contrived and unconvincing, this is a British drama about how traumatic brain injuries can leave people with hidden disabilities and complex needs. In her first non-comedy role Rebel Wilson plays archaeologist Sarah, whose husband, Joe (the film’s co-director Celyn Jones), has had life-changing surgery to remove a brain tumour. Two years later he is unable to form new memories and is impulsive and disinhibited. A couple of scenes showing these behavioural changes feel a bit overdone: in one he walks up to a little kid in the street and hands him a doughnut; the boy’s mum kicks off big-time, and within seconds the whole street is filming it on smartphones.

Sarah still loves her husband, but he is not the man she married; his identity,...

Rebel Wilson wears a red, lacey dress while attending the UK premiere of her movie The Almond and the Seahorse at Vue West End on Tuesday (April 30) in London.

The 44-year-old actress was joined by co-stars Celyn Jones, Meera Syal, Rachel Adedeji and Ruth Madeley at the event.

If you didn’t know, the movie is already out in the US and is currently available to stream on Hulu.

While doing press in the UK this week, Rebel shared a big update on a potential fourth Pitch Perfect movie!

“Hopefully there’s a fourth one in the works,” she told BBC Radio 2. “There is one being developed. I know we’re older now, so I don’t know exactly what the storyline’s going to be.”

“I guess they’ve got to get the script right first, which is the age-old dilemma,” she added.

Who said the heroes’ journey can’t take a little detour? In the trailer for “We Are Lady Parts” Season 2, the eponymous female punk band decides to dabble in villainy — to endlessly entertaining results.

Created by “Polite Society” writer and director Nida Manzoor, “We Are Lady Parts” premiered in the U.K. in 2018 and in the U.S. via Peacock in 2021. IndieWire’s Steve Greene wrote at the time that “Each member of the greater Lady Parts quintet could easily handle an episode on their own,” praising a show which is “at its best when it’s breaking free from restraints, too, tossing in a bunch of playful asides and visual diversions.”

“I wanted to go bolder, sillier, darker and deeper and that is exactly what we strived to do,” Manzoor said in a press release accompanying the Season 2 trailer.

The band is (finally) getting back together: After a three-year layoff, We Are Lady Parts has locked down a Season 2 premiere date on Peacock.

Season 2 of the comedy about an all-female Muslim punk rock band will debut Thursday, May 30 on the streamer with all six episodes, TVLine has learned. The sophomore run will also feature guest appearances from activist Malala Yousafzai and comedian Meera Syal.
