The beloved series, The Wheel of Time, wey plenty people don waka follow, don get cancellation news for Amazon Prime Video. And guess wha? Dem no dey shop am around again. E mean say, no other streaming platform go carry the show. Ah, na wa o!
Matt Webb Mitovich, the chief content officer for something like entertainment gossip, drop the bombshell say, ‘Sources wey sabi confirm say The Wheel of Time no dey look for new home after dem cancel am on May 23.’ Chai! You fit hear the groans of fans upandan, as dem dey rally for am to continue since dem confirm the cancellation.
Dem even create hashtag for Twitter wey don gather over 123,580 signatures. Na true ‘#SaveTheWheelOfTime’ wey dey trend like hot amala for pot. Fans dey point to the show season three wey get 97% score for Rotten Tomatoes, say this one mean am say the show deserve better!
Na Robert Jordan books dem base the things wey The Wheel of Time dey show us, but you sabi say na Rosamund Pike wey be Moiraine Damodred carry the show for season one. She dey waka from Two Rivers dey find young pikin wey fit become the prophesized savior. And just so, Rand al’Thor, played by Josha Stradowski, don turn to main paddy in season three.

E dey pain me well well because I wan give my fans the finish story wey dem deserve.’ The show na wetin we don dey cherish and e don spend over 20 weeks for Nielsen Top 10 streaming chart. Biko, how e go just end like that? Na wah! Dis be like say dem dey run after new subscribers instead of collect loyal fans.
Judkins talk say, ‘This Na the larger trend wey dey happen for TV space — dem dey reduce the number of seasons and episodes. But TV and storytelling dey gree with long-form stories. Na art, like the epic fantasy wey give fans cozy vibes year after year’ (abeg, who dem dey try yakata?).
Let’s just hope say The Wheel of Time go find better home again, like how Amazon one time pick The Expanse wey dem cut off for SYFY before. ‘Who know, this series fit still surprise us like the book wey sabi defy ends and beginnings,’ Judkins add.
As e stand, we dey here dey sip palm wine dey hope say wahala no finish. This series don carry plenty joy for fans, and e go really dey pain if show no fit continue. If you still dey follow am, all three seasons dey stream now, but eh, make we dey keep our fingers crossed for miracle.
