“I hang up my ring.” With those four words, Rosamund Pike has officially closed the chapter on her role as Moiraine Damodred — and perhaps on The Wheel of Time entirely.
The news comes just weeks after Prime Video abruptly canceled the fantasy epic, despite its solid 88% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a passionate global fanbase. Pike shared behind-the-scenes memories on her Instagram, ending with the now-iconic farewell to her character. Though the Story has expired, the message is loud and clear: the journey is over.
Fans Devastated — Petition Surges Past 100K Signatures
The cancellation hit like a bolt out of the One Power. Cast and crew had openly expressed excitement about returning, and fans quickly rallied — launching a petition that’s already topped 100,000 signatures and raised over $15,000 to save the show.
But Amazon delivered another crushing blow: they won’t shop the series to other streamers, all but dashing hopes of a revival.
Even showrunner Rafe Judkins shared a heartfelt goodbye, stating fans “deserve to see the story finished.” The final insult? One of the show’s Emmy nominations was pulled last week due to a technicality.
Is This Truly the End?
Unless Amazon changes course or another platform swoops in, it looks like The Wheel of Time has reached its final turning. And without Rosamund Pike at the helm, any return feels far less likely.
But as fans of the Pattern know — no beginning or end truly ends.
📌 Stay tuned for updates if the winds of change blow again.
📺 Seasons 1 and 2 of The Wheel of Time are still streaming on Prime Video.
