2 Key Excerpts from Today's Press Release...
Two statements that standout to me are:
This news also marks the new year’s return of #WOTWednesdays, a fan-favorite weekly reveal of news and assets leading up to the show’s season premiere.
While we've been getting some drops the last few Wednesdays, it's nice to know that we can officially expect things every Wednesday from now on.
Second bit, which IMO is really promising for a renewal (or several more)... emphasis mine:
The Wheel of Time series on Prime Video has solidified its place as a monumental success for the platform. Based on Robert Jordan's beloved and epic fantasy book series, the show weaves a tale of magic, destiny, and adventure that has captured the imagination of fans worldwide. In 2021, Season One launched as the biggest original series debut in Prime Video history at the time, excelling in both reach and subscriber acquisition. It continues to remain among the top three series debuts of all time on Prime Video behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout. Overall, the show has generated over 100 million viewers worldwide to-date. Additionally, both Seasons One and Two are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, further cementing the show's critical acclaim. The Wheel of Time serves as a cornerstone of Amazon MGM Studios' suite of successful, high-quality tentpole fantasy series, and together, these series underscore the studio's leadership in delivering premium storytelling to a global audience.
Obviously, we can't count our chicks before they hatch, but would Amazon really market a show it's about to cancel" as a "cornerstone" of the content library they are building?
Considering how much red tape and bureaucracy there is in a corporation as large as Amazon, there's no way these sentences/claims got approved/let alone published, unless they are true and representative of Amazon's feelings.
Right?
Or am I being naive?
