BREAKING: Rafe Judkins speaks for the first time since the show's cancellation. The decision to cancel seems to be beyond the control of anyone who's worked creatively on the show. This has always been a studio/streamer play. #SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime ❤️📖📺🤞

I've been asked the same question many times the last week - why was The Wheel of Time cancelled? And the truth is, I don't know. I wish I could say something clear and tidy that explains to all those who love it why it's coming to an end, but sadly, I can't.

What I can say is that the actors and crew on our show are the most talented and wonderful group of people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. And we've all been incredibly lucky to make something that not only was beloved by fans (and even critics! ha!), but was also watched by huge numbers of people all over the world, appearing in the Nielsen Top 10 for nearly 20 weeks, a feat very few shows have been able to match in the last decade.

One of my core goals in making this show, even from the earliest crafting of the pitch, has been to tell the whole story. Because the Wheel of Time books do what television has always done best - get better as they go. And as our actors and team came on board, they too could see the potential if we were allowed to finish this incredible story.

We made many sacrifices, both personal and creative, along the way to get to that ending, so coming up short feels like a devastating blow for all of us.

Much has been written about this larger trend in TV toward fewer seasons with less episodes and finding quicker ways to acquire additional streaming subscribers.

But I genuinely believe that this goes against the fundamental strength of television long-form storytelling. It is an art form, much like epic fantasy, which at its very best, gives people a place to go and spend time with the characters that they love year after year after year. And I believe there are executives, studios, and networks who know that. I believe that we will find our way through this current iteration of the industry and back to what we do best - bringing great characters into people's living rooms and lives every week.

Will the Wheel of Time get to do that with another network and finish the story? Sadly, it's not something that happens often. But it does happen. In fact, one of the reasons we first chose Amazon as a home for the show was because they were in the midst of picking up The Expanse after SYFY cancelled it. So, who knows, perhaps the Wheel of Time show will do what the books have always managed to do since day one - defy the traditional definitions of "beginnings" and "ends". I certainly hope it does - because this book series and these fans deserve to see the story finished.

#BookReview2025 The Last Session by Julia Bartz What made this a 4 instead of a 5 is that Thea's obsession that kicked off the plot for this book didn't quite work for me. But once we're at the Center, I was all in on the story. Really gripped and engaged all the way through. 4/5 📋🏜️🕳️

Anyway, this probably won't even post, but the colorism and ableism in this episode bothered me a lot more than what happened with Rand or Faile It does not have to be deliberate for it to be true that there's a pattern of darker-skinned characters shown experiencing more brutal treatment

#BookReview2025 Real Queer America by Samantha Allen Good book! More memoir than deep exploration of culture and society, but one that does give an interesting insight into queer communities in red states. I wish there'd been some discussion of queerness not just in urban centers, but still good!

#BookReview2025 Celestial Monsters by Aiden Thomas I feel similarly about this book as I did about the first in the series. I would recommend it to the target audience, but my personal enjoyment was relatively low. 3.25/5 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🌃❤️‍🔥

#BookReview2025 A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall There was a lot to love about this book. The characters were interesting and went through compelling growth. There's beautiful exploration or queerness and acceptance. I cried at the epilogue. But I just never quite bought the couple. 3.5/5 🏳️‍⚧️💃🤺

#BookReview2025 Finding Echoes by Fox Meadows I found the story interesting enough, but it took 2/3 of the book for me to get my feet under me and appreciate it. I would loved a longer novel set in the same world with more time to develop everything. 3/5 👻🗡️💋

#BookReview2025 The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas I really liked the concepts in this book, and I will readily recommend it for a middle grade to YA audience. But for my personal enjoyment, it just didn't quite do enough. I wanted deeper world building and more complex characters 3.5/5 🏳️‍⚧️🔥🗡️

1/ Continuing the theme of VFX involvement in the WOT S3 Sneak Peak, I present the Entrance Hall of The White Tower, a near full CG shot. We again called on the abilities of Outpost VFX to show an area of the WT never seen before in the show #TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies

The White Tower Entrance Hall shot in Season 3 Episode 1. Three huge Aes Sedai statues loom over the large open floor of the circular meeting hall - a large, round stained-glass window behind the head of each statue. Strong sunlight from top screen right mixes with atmos in the air. A group of Aes Sedai quickly walk through the middle of the open floor, as groups of other Aes Sedai chat quietly in the shadows

Sections of Aes Sedai crowd elements shot against green screen with practical lighting matching closely to the final shot
