A TV adaptation of the 1990 novel series is finally starting to gear up, as The Wheel of Time gains a showrunner.
There’s no dearth of evidence high-fantasy can work on TV, and Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time may next follow Game of Thrones and MTV’s Shannara Chronicles with a chance to prove it.
For those unfamiliar with Jordan’s fourteen-book saga, the Wheel of Time franchise is described thusly: Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time is a story that takes place both in our past and our future.
Adaptations of the series have been plotted as early as 2000 across both TV and film, with FXX actually airing a pilot in 2015.
