re: The Wheel of Time -- Season 2 coming in September -- Wise Ones Thread (Book Spoilers)

For example, there were similar whispers before season 1 that were quite negative and ended up panning out so the fact that these same whispers are much more positive for season 2 does mean a little more than you might think.

I hope you are right and season 2 is much better and would assume Amazon would only greenlight season 3 if they felt it was.

The really good thing from all of this imo is that Sanderson is getting an inside view on what it is to make a TV show. I don't' know if you heard Sanderson's podcast from a couple weeks ago. He said that all of Hollywood has coming knocking on his door this year.

I'm both happy and worried as I'm afraid it's going to seriously derail his writing schedule. He said Stormlight 5 has been pushed to 2024 because of this.

The good thing is Sanderson will want alot of control over whatever adaption(s) he agrees to. I love his quote that, "Hollywood doesn't know what to do when you don't need their money".

It's great that he is in the financial position to say no, if they don't agree to his demands for creative and writing control.
