Amazon Prime Video viewers are rallying behind yet another show being cancelled by a major streaming service.

It’s the unfortunate circle of life now: discover a new show, obsess over it, then the feeling of devastation when the series gets scrapped before the story’s even finished.

Fantasy series The Wheel of Time has suffered that fate, having been cancelled after three seasons – but fans aren’t going down without a fight.

A petition has been set up on a suitably epic website SaveWOT, with over 72,000 fans and counting signing their names.

They’re going the extra mile, as the site includes The Wheel of Time’s 97% Rotten Tomatoes score alongside similarly high ratings on IMDb and Metacritic.

Organisers behind the campaign pointed out that it’s third season is better rated than recent series of House of the Dragon, The Witcher and Rings of Power, along with fan testimonials, quotes from professional reviews, and viewing figures.
