Among them is Josha Stradowski, whose character Rand al’Thor is central to the events of this fantasy world, having been identified as the Dragon Reborn – a powerful figure, who must be kept from succumbing to darkness at all costs.
With 14 novels comprising Jordan’s series – and only five of them adapted so far – there’s certainly scope for plenty more from The Wheel of Time. But with a price tag of $10 million per episode, it’s a big investment to say the least.
So, what’s the latest on the show’s future? Here’s everything we know so far about a potential The Wheel of Time season 4.

The Wheel of Time is yet to be renewed for season 4 by Prime Video, but it could still happen.
“It’s in the hands of Amazon at the moment,” said star Rosamund Pike, in an interview with 13News. “They haven’t yet green lit season 4. It’s a big show for them.
“But as I keep saying, there is no other property like The Wheel of Time out there. There are very few of these truly global fantasy IPs out there. And Amazon and Sony are incredibly lucky to have this one.”
She continued: “It’s interesting that while season 3 mirrors a lot of the storylines in book four – which is when the series really took off as a literary property, that’s when a huge volume of fans discovered The Wheel of Time.
“I really hope that we get to continue this journey because the fans deserve it, the books deserve it and our actors deserve it.”

Co-star Daniel Henney told TechRadar: “We’re just hopeful and have all of our fingers crossed. Season 3 is something we’re incredibly proud of.
“Watching it back, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I’m sure Josha will agree that this is The Wheel of Time we set out to make.”
Co-star Josha Stradowski concurred that the team “found our form” in season 3 and that he was “confident” in the work that they’d done – here’s hoping it’s enough to secure that renewal, which comes at a considerable price for Prime Video.
When could a potential The Wheel of Time season 4 be released?

If The Wheel of Time is renewed for a fourth season, we’d expect to see it in 18-24 months’ time, which would mean a release date between winter 2026 and spring 2027.
Of course, that’s just an educated guess for the time being, based on the breaks that the show has seen thus far; two years between season 1 and 2, and 18 months between season 2 and 3.
We’ll update this page if and when a timeline for the show is laid out.
What could happen in a potential The Wheel of Time season 4?
The Wheel of Time season 3 was primarily based on the fourth and fifth books in the series by Robert Jordan, so it stands to reason that the next chapter would be inspired by the sixth and seventh instalments.
Those books, titled Lord of Chaos and A Crown of Swords respectively, weigh in at 720 pages each and more than 70 hours of audio, so it will be no small feat condensing them into a single season of television.
Lord of Chaos begins with the Dark One having grown in power as his prison weakens, while Rand al’Thor founds the Black Tower and handles sensitive diplomacy with clashing factions of the Aes Sedai.
