On Friday, during 'The Wheel of Time: Origins' panel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, Prime Video announced that it has officially ordered a third season of its critically acclaimed, world-spanning fantasy series 'The Wheel of Time', based on Robert Jordan's series of best-selling novels. The panel also treated fans to a magical Season Two behind-the-scenes sizzle reel. The first season of 'The Wheel of Time', which premiered on November 19, 2021, is exclusively available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The series is a co-production with Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.

"I'm so thrilled that we'll be making a third season of The Wheel of Time," said Rafe Judkins, executive producer and showrunner of 'The Wheel of Time'. "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 honour, and something I've been working toward since I first pitched the show years and years ago."
