Not necessarily a reimagining, but a premise. A concept.

Is it too early to say Wheel of Time?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is Wheel of Time even viable to be adapted into a TV series? Isn't it just flatout far too long realistically.

Unless there are budget constrain, why not? You can always make longer seasons.
I do realize that 14 seasons x 20 episodes seems unrealistic and will probably be cancelled, though.

Eh, you could condense books 7-9 into a single season imo

Supernatural got 15 seasons of 20+ episodes each so I feel like the only thing holding us back is that it's not 2005 anymore.

Everything is 10 episodes per season and inconsistent release schedules now.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Amazon has the money to throw at it. But many actors would not stick around for that length of time.
