“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.

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...

This article contains Major Spoilers for The Wheel of Time season 3 Episode 8, as well as Robert Jordan's book series.

After a thrilling run, The Wheel of Time season 3 is officially at an end. "He Who Comes With The Dawn" closed out Prime Video's fantasy show with a bang, featuring so many twists and turns that our heads will be spinning for weeks to come. Few hit harder than the shocker death at the episode's end, when the Amyrlin Seat of the Aes Sedai, Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo), was deposed, stilled to permanently cut off her access to the One Power, and then executed by the new Amyrlin Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan (Shohreh Aghdashloo).

While The Wheel of Time season 3 finale may have been one of the darkest episodes in the show's entire run, this sequence of events was by far the most brutal. Siuan is outfoxed at every turn...

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).

Now we've arrived at the final episode of the premiere block: "Seeds of Shadow." And just as the name implies, this episode gives the show's...

The binge through the first three episodes of The Wheel of Time season 3 continues! Today, Prime Video dropped the mega-sized premiere block of its epic fantasy show's third season, and it is a veritable feast for fans of the series. All three episodes clock in at around an hour or more, and contain a ton of new developments for our heroes and villains.

The first episode, "To Race the Shadow," mostly caught us up with all the characters we already knew and loved from last season. Now that the stage is set, "A Question of Crimson" introduces a bunch of new ones; most notably, the royal family of Andor, led by Queen Morgase Trakand (Olivia Williams), the mother of Elayne (Ceara Coveney).

The comedy genre has been under attack for quite some time now as the studios have stopped making mid-budget comedy movies and refocused all their attention on big-budget blockbusters. Amidst all this, a niche sub-genre in comedy, like raunchy comedy films, has been forgotten. If it’s not a classic like American Pie or Road Trip, people don’t even remember most of the fantastic raunchy comedies that came out. So, we compiled a list of the best underrated raunchy comedies you might have missed out on.

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers.

Van Helsing Season 4 Episode 13

With news of its fifth and final season renewal firmly in place, Van Helsing sends viewers on a mind bending journey that promises to retool the familiar storyline and teases the notion that a new generation of vampire slayers may be ready to take up the family mantle. With Vanessa presumably still trapped in the Dark Realm, “The Beholder” puts the season finale’s focus squarely on the shoulders of Jack and Violet, and the genetically engineered sisters do not disappoint. But let’s not lose sight of the fact that without the guiding hand and hard earned wisdom of Sgt Axel Miller, it’s entirely possible that this fight might have been over long ago.

Exclusive: Syfy dropped a trailer that gave us the first look at the third season of Van Helsing during their panel at Comic-Con — and it was filled with blood, action and a lot of vampire bodies hitting the floor.

Marking its third year at the confab, stars Kelly Overton (True Blood), Jonathan Scarfe (Hell on Wheels), Vincent Gale (Bates Motel), Aleks Paunovic (Continuum), Rukiya Bernard (The Cabin in the Woods), Jennifer Cheon (The 100) and Trezzo Mahoro (iZombie) joined creator/showrunner Neil Labute (In The Company of Men, Hell on Wheels) and executive producers Mike Frislev (Fargo, Hell on Wheels) and Chad Oakes (Fargo, Hell on Wheels) took the stage in the Indigo Ballroom to debut the trailer (watch above) and talk about the action horror series.

Van Helsing is a re-imagination of the classic literary monster hunter, set in a world dominated and controlled by vampires. This season continues...
