Why This Matters

Before The Wheel of Time premiered on Prime Video, it was hard not to see how it had the potential to be the next Game of Thrones . The show performed fairly well and landed in haters’ good books after its release. Unfortunately, it fell short of leveraging the true strength of its source material and wrapped up up getting canceled just when it was starting to show traces of greatness.

The entertainment world moves fast, and this is a prime example.

The Bottom Line

Brandon Sanderson Was Largely Ignored During The Wheel Of Time s Production Brandon Sanderson served as the co-author of the final three installments of The Wheel of Time book series. Owing to this, he was taken onboard as the Prime Video adaptation’s consulting producer.
