That being said, many viewers are eagerly awaiting its first, which will arrive very soon:

The citadel is a long shot
Last year, we already saw Prime Video go all-in during the production of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The adaptation of Tolkien’s works was very expensive and was destined to become one of the highlights of the year for the platform. Despite its cost and ambition, the reception was much worse than expected and many viewers rated it as mediocre.
NOW, Prime Video puts all the meat back on the grill with another production that should work, but there’s always the possibility of something going wrong. If so, I think that Amazon should rethink where it spends its money, since, with the Wheel of Time, it would already be three very expensive series that do not reach their goal. It’s something similar to what happened with Amazon Games, which suffered several “failures” similar, like New World or Crucible.
