Streaming was the real Dark One all along #savewot #wotskies

BREAKING: Rafe Judkins speaks for the first time since the show's cancellation.

The decision to cancel seems to be beyond the control of anyone who's worked creatively on the show. This has always been a studio/streamer play.

#SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime
❤️📖📺🤞
I've been asked the same question many times the last week - why was The Wheel of Time cancelled? And the truth is, I don't know. I wish I could say something clear and tidy that explains to all those who love it why it's coming to an end, but sadly, I can't. What I can say is that the actors and crew on our show are the most talented and wonderful group of people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. And we've all been incredibly lucky to make something that not only was beloved by fans (and even critics! ha!), but was also watched by huge numbers of people all over the world, appearing in the Nielsen Top 10 for nearly 20 weeks, a feat very few shows have been able to match in the last decade. One of my core goals in making this show, even from the earliest crafting of the pitch, has been to tell the whole story. Because the Wheel of Time books do what television has always done best - get better as they go. And as our actors and team came on board, they too could see the potential if we were allowed to finish this incredible story. We made many sacrifices, both personal and creative, along the way to get to that ending, so coming up short feels like a devastating blow for all of us. Much has been written about this larger trend in TV toward fewer seasons with less episodes and finding quicker ways to acquire additional streaming subscribers. But I genuinely believe that this goes against the fundamental strength of television long-form storytelling. It is an art form, much like epic fantasy, which at its very best, gives people a place to go and spend time with the characters that they love year after year after year. And I believe there are executives, studios, and networks who know that. I believe that we will find our way through this current iteration of the industry and back to what we do best - bringing great characters into people's living rooms and lives every week. Will the Wheel of Time get to do that with another network and finish the story? Sadly, it's not something that happens often. But it does happen. In fact, one of the reasons we first chose Amazon as a home for the show was because they were in the midst of picking up The Expanse after SYFY cancelled it. So, who knows, perhaps the Wheel of Time show will do what the books have always managed to do since day one - defy the traditional definitions of "beginnings" and "ends". I certainly hope it does - because this book series and these fans deserve to see the story finished.

I am constantly awed by the brave earnestness of the way you walk through such a hard skeptical world.

You are all so Good. There's no way I can quit you.

And I will fight like hell to keep our show with us.

I've been in the Wheel of Time fandom a really long time, and I've made a lot of friends, but this iteration has been the most fulfilling....

because I've met some of the most genuine, most kind people I've ever known through this community.

See not getting Dumai's Wells on screen is going to make me genuinely lose it. Also the fact that Josha has been so eager to film the Box since day 1

Cancelling #WheelOfTime at this point is an insult to the fans and it’s an insult to this hat

A screenshot of the scene from Mean Girls when the white blonde girl in a red collared shirt is crying and says “I wish I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we’d all eat it and be happy” except I’ve edited it to say “I wish I could be a billionaire and fund the Wheel of Time show and we’d all watch it and be happy.”

WOT is the first fandom I’ve actively participated in. I read the series during the pandemic. I went to JordanCon BY MYSELF. I made friends! I’m devastated about the cancellation, but this will not take away from how much WOT has added to my life. #wotskies

this is true for me as well. #WoTSkies I’m sorry that we couldn’t have this nice thing. I’m forever grateful that you all inspired me to embrace my inner nerd so deeply.

I will say that as devestating as this is, I'm deeply glad that the show brought so many of you into my life. I have hundreds of folks on here I connected with just from the fandom, and I'm not going anywhere. ❤️

Corpo assholes can't take away community. Our feelings, outrage, & disappointment is valid. But I'm still here, and you're still here. We're connected, and that can't be severed by soulless Amazon shills. I ain't going anywhere. Y'all are just too great to lose #WoTSkies

I kind of tumbled into #JordanCon2025 after a whirlwind of hectic months - good and bad. While I was the least nervous I’ve ever been before a con, I was feeling self-conscious about not having been a very good online-friend over the past year. (1/3)

LET’S GO CANADA 🇨🇦

I am SO proud of our neighbors to the north. Authoritarianism will *not* remain a global trend, and this is where it starts. To all my Canadian friends, you inspire me with your resilience and how hard you worked to keep maple MAGA out of leadership.

❤️❤️❤️

The panel with examples of fighting fascism from WoT was amazingly researched and moderated, and really gave me a new lens on some of the book plots, as well as RL parallels

Massive props to @pevarat.bsky.social, @feelinmyshelf.bsky.social, @ahyessedai.bsky.social, and @roofmistress.bsky.social 👏
