In his post, he admitted, “I’m just as curious as everyone else – why was The Wheel of Time series canceled? But the truth is, I don’t have the answer.

Judkins didn’t only discuss the conclusion of the series, but he also voiced his opinions about the transformation in television storytelling. He elaborated on the disappointment of not being able to fully conclude the tale, as it was originally based on Robert Jordan’s novels.
