Beloved Fantasy Books To Get New Movies & Shows
After Prime Video Cancellation
-----------------------------------------------
A well-known fantasy universe is turning the page with a new
slate of projects now in development. As the franchise moves
beyond its recent screen chapter, those involved have begun
shaping how its next phase will unfold across different
formats.

Several Wheel of Time projects are in work from Thomas Vu
According to Variety's exclusive report, multiple new Wheel
of Time projects are in development from iwot Studios in
partnership with Arcane producer Thomas Vu and Initiate
Entertainment.

These include an animated television series, animated feature
films, and a PC/mobile video game based on Robert Jordan's
novels. The collaboration also involves iwot CEO Rick Selvage
and COO Larry Mondragon, both previously attached to the
now-ended live-action series.

The projects currently have no confirmed distributors or
streaming platforms and are "aimed at broadening the
franchise's reach across platforms and engaging fans
worldwide." Vu joined the project after contributing to Riot
Games' expansion of League of Legends into a global franchise.
The team has shared a proof-of-concept rendering of Rand
al'Thor as part of the early development materials.

iwot confirmed that these new projects remain "distinct" from
previously announced Wheel of Time adaptations, including the
3D feature The White Tower and Kari Skogland's live-action
film Age of Legends. Separate AAA open-world RPG games are
also in development at iwot Games Montreal. These additions
form part of iwot's broader transmedia strategy following the
cancellation of the Amazon series.

iwot Studios recently formed a joint venture with Framestore,
signaling its continued expansion across multiple formats.
Anthony Borquez, co-founder of Grab Labs and founder of Grab
Games, has joined the partnership and contributes experience in
AI-driven interactive storytelling and game development.

"I see tremendous opportunity in expanding 'The Wheel of Time'
into fully authentic, integrated, interactive, and animated
storytelling experiences," Vu said. Selvage added, "Thomas has
consistently demonstrated the ability to scale narrative worlds
into global entertainment franchises."
