The show's premature end reflects a broader trend where unsuccessful high-budget series often face the axe as part of sweeping changes in streaming policies and project management.
The cancellation of 'The Wheel of Time' reflects the turbulent landscape of the streaming wars, where regime changes directly impact the survival of cherished series.
