"In my dreams, another studio would be wise and pick it up"
"The fans said Season 1 wasn't good enough, which I think I agree with, for multiple reasons. We were beset by COVID in the middle of our shooting. We had some heads of department change." However, the series sorted these problems out, putting out a much-improved Season 2, and, by Season 3, The Wheel of Time became one of the most impressive fantasy TV shows on streaming, with Episode 4, "The Road to the Spear," in particular, deserving recognition for its compelling story and worldbuilding scope. Then, by Season 3, I think we had our wings fully spread, and we were showing where we were capable of going, and there was a really well-acted, well-written, cohesive, deep show that was attracting powerhouse actors to come and play supporting characters. I think we showed what we were capable of doing with that material.
Not only is there a strong petition to save the series, but Pike also recounted viewers reaching out to her to personally explain what The Wheel of Time has meant to them. Undoubtedly, Pike has only heard a handful of the stories about The Wheel of Time's impact on fans, but even so, she claims, "It's profound and meaningful, and I just thought, 'My God, if I could get the heads of Amazon here at stage door with me, listening to these stories…'" This kind of love for the series suggests that if another streamer brought The Wheel of Time back, it would have a built-in audience.
The actress also described the cast as especially close and says she's still in contact with many of her colleagues and co-stars, including showrunner Rafe Judkins and Nynaeve actress Zoë Robins. Not only is it likely that people who get along so well would want to reunite if given the chance, but several cast members confessed their profound disappointment in its ending. Even more directly, a few shared their support for the fan campaign to save the series, including Josha Stradowski, who plays Rand, and Priyanka Bose, who plays Alanna. With several key cast members seemingly willing to jump back into The Wheel of Time's world, paired with an eager audience, this makes for a compelling, if fading, argument to save the series.
Rosamund Pike about the Wheel of Time cancelattion. It's hitting so damn 😭 In the end we have no ending.
