20 TV Shows That Were Cancelled In 2025
16. The Wheel of Time
It's not without a serious sting of irony that The Wheel of Time's third season was far and away the best-received by both critics and fans, considering it also unexpectedly turned out to be the last.
The series, based on Robert Jordan's beloved fantasy novels, has been a consistently strong ratings performer for Amazon Prime Video, but more than a month after season three wrapped up its run, the decision was made to cancel a planned fourth.
The call was said to be strictly economic, that despite the show's sturdy viewership, it still wasn't enough to support its massive budget - and one that's presumably been increasing season-on-season.
Prime Video executives were said to be high on the show and sought solutions to bring a fourth season to fruition, but it ultimately didn't pan out.
Such is seemingly the problem with streaming series that get off to a rough start and only find their footing later.
