Amazon Prime Video's fantasy show 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' failed to live up to fan expectations, leading to a 60% drop in viewership in its second season.
Despite facing criticisms, 'The Wheel of Time' was gaining popularity with critics and fans, especially in its third season, which was well-received for its storytelling and action.
Amazon's decision to cancel 'The Wheel of Time' after three seasons is attributed to the higher subscriber revenue brought in by 'Rings of Power,' despite 'The Wheel of Time' being more profitable.
The cancellation of 'The Wheel of Time' has disappointed a vocal fanbase, leading to some subscribers cancelling their Prime subscriptions, raising concerns about the lack of compelling content on Amazon Prime Video.
