Priyanka Bose Calls Out 'The Wheel of Time' Cancellation by Amazon in a Hilarious Post
While other The Wheel of Time cast members are thanking their colleagues as they bid farewell to the project, Priyanka Bose has decided to express her opinion in a more sarcastic way. Here's what the actress posted.
Amazon recently cancelled The Wheel of Time after its third season, which took many fans by surprise. The show had been on an upward trajectory, with each season outperforming the previous one.
For reference, the first season received 81% from critics and 61% from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes, while the third season scored a 97% and 83%, respectively.
Priyanka Bose Posted a Sarcastic Photo Regarding 'The Wheel of Time' Cancellation
While the rest of the cast was saying goodbye to the show expressing gratitude to their colleagues and everyone involved in the project, Priyanka Bose, who played Alanna Mosvani, mocked Amazon's decision in a sarcastic manner.
She reposted a shot of the battle between Moiraine and Lanfear in her Instagram stories, but instead of the former's face, there was an Amazon Prime Video logo. The story is no longer available, but fans took a screenshot and posted it on X.

The post was clearly a joke, but it still provoked a response from fans. Many viewers agreed that the series' merits were clear, and The Wheel of Time needed Season 4, despite its differences from the books.
Fans Agree Amazon Didn't Give 'The Wheel of Time' Enough Time to Develop
Viewers have noted that Amazon invested heavily in the project, but did not give it enough time to develop. The first two seasons destroyed the show's prospects from the start, and even the significant improvement in the third season couldn't save the project.
Reddit user kybotica wrote:
“If the first two season had been done like 3 was done, this wouldn't even be a discussion. As usual, though, Amazon's heavy-handed management ruined what should have been an amazing opportunity, and once they took their hands off the project, it improved, only to be canceled.”
'The Wheel of Time' Failure Is the Result of Amazon's Initial Approach to the Project
Deadline confirms that the reasons for the cancellation of The Wheel of Time were purely financial. The viewership ratings did not justify the budgets spent on the series.
We've already gone over the reasons for the cancellation of The Wheel of Time in this article, but it's crucial to repeat that Amazon is to blame for the show's cancellation.
The first season proved to be a major misstep because of the studio's approach to the show. Viewers and critics were unhappy with the free interpretation of the plot and many other creative decisions. This scared off a significant part of the audience, which the second and third seasons were no longer able to bring back.
