While Season 2 of “Wheel of Time” concluded Friday, filming on the Prime Video fantasy series’ third season had already started filming prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
“I am speaking to you a day after filming it. We are in the midst of it. We are all energized by everything that’s going on in Season 3,” star Rosamund Pike told TheWrap in a June 28 interview, days before the onset of actors’ guild strike. “We feel like we’ve established the rules of our world, we can explore them and push the boundaries, we can do more experimental camera work and we can try and get a visual language for these incredible concepts that [author] Robert Jordan came up with.”

The Wheel of Time, the sprawling fantasy novel mythology by Robert Jordan, is heading to Amazon Prime as a series.
One of the most popular fantasy franchises of the literary world, The Wheel of Time, is getting a live-action television adaptation. Originally authored by Robert Jordan, the 80 million-selling 1990-2013 book series depicts a sprawling mythology, amalgamating feudal and magical tropes with elements of Eastern mysticism. While the project was first brought to the table by Sony, the latest development has procured its home.
Amazon gave a series order to The Wheel of Time back in October 2018, setting the project as an hour-long series that will stream on Amazon Prime Video, as reported Deadline and confirmed by an Apv retweet. The move was the culmination of what had been a year-and-a-half process, going back to April 2017, when it was first reported that Sony Pictures Television was moving forward with the TV project.

The Wheel of Time, a series of fantasy novels from the late author Robert Jordan, will be adapted for television, this according to Jordan’s widow Harriet McDougal. In a post on Google+, McDougal wrote, “The Wheel of Time will become a cutting edge TV series! I couldn’t be more pleased. Look for the official announcement coming soon from a major studio.” The book collection, which has sold more than 80 million copies, features 14 novels as well as a prequel. The first book, The Eye of the World, was published in 1990. The last, A Memory of Light, was released in 2013 and was co-written by Brandon Sanderson. Jordan died in 2007. This is not the first time there’s been an attempt to bring The Wheel of Time to TV. In February 2015, Fxx aired Winter Dragon, a pilot based on the books.
