Will The Wheel of Time get to finish it's story? Here's what we know

Wheel of Time recently concluded its third season on Amazon Prime Video. The season three finale episode of Wheel of Time was titled He Who Comes With The Dawn, and in a remarkable move, it set up extended storylines that could be taken up by the fourth season of the show.

As of this writing, Amazon hasn't officially greenlit the fourth installment of Wheel of Time, and therefore it remains to be seen whether the creators of the show will get the opportunity to bring the story home. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, creator Rafe Judkins hints that they would like to tell the larger story. Here's everything that we know.

What did the Wheel of Time creator say about finishing the story?

Rafe Judkins gave an exclusive interview to The Hollywood Reporter wherein he spoke at length about several aspects of the show's present and future. When asked about a probable fourth season, Judkins answered:

"That is the same thing that I’ve been sort of asking Amazon — what is the end game for the show? I really want to deliver this full series, so how do we best do that? I think one reason we went with Amazon, because we had options of who was going to buy the series when we first went out with it, is that Amazon felt like a place where they do want to invest in shows for the long term. There are not a lot of places doing that anymore. For Wheel of Time, it’s really important for us to be somewhere that does want to invest in shows for the long term and not just for the splash and leave. So I am hopeful that we will get to finish this story. I think it’s a story that in many ways is important because of its length, and because it gets better as it goes."

He further added:

"The books get better as they go and the show is getting better as it goes. I think we can continue that arc if we’re allowed to continue. But it is different (now). Television’s moving in a direction where things just come in, splash and leave. But the history of television is that its strength is longform storytelling; that you stick with it and you love these characters and you follow them through 60 to 100 hours. That’s where television has its strength. That’s where it’s better than movies, at telling those kinds of stories. So I’m hopeful for our industry that shows like Wheel of Time do get to tell the whole story. I think it’s important for television. It’s what we do best, and so we should be finishing these stories.
