The goofier side of Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time is on full display in a new blooper reel from the epic fantasy series’ third season. The Wheel of Time season 3 ending dropped April 17, 2025, after 8 episodes adapting The Shadow Rising, Book 4 of the Robert Jordan series that was completed by Brandon Sanderson. Although there are marked differences between The Wheel of Time show and books, Rafe Judkins’ adaptation retains the high-stakes drama surrounding the Two Rivers ta’veren, Aes Sedai, and the impending battle between good and evil that made the original 13-novel series so compelling.
Posted to the Prime Video YouTube account, The Wheel of Time season 3 blooper reel opens with two clips of Moiraine actress Rosamund Pike realizing that she’s left her “bloody sunglasses on” while shooting a scene taking place in the Aiel Waste.
Upbeat music underscores the cast laughing, dancing, and smiling—sometimes covered in blood—on The Wheel of Time set and occasionally drops out to focus on specific gaffes from the sprawling cast. There are plenty of flubbed lines, goofy faces, dropped weapons, and character breaks from The Wheel of Time season 3 cast in the rapid-fire reel.
What The Season 3 Blooper Reel Means For The Wheel of Time
The Video Shows The Cast Having Fun
With cast members seemingly unafraid to let loose on set, Prime Video’s blooper reel for The Wheel of Time season 3 is a hilarious contrast to the show’s epic tone. Nearly every main character found themselves close to mortal peril, as more Forsaken were released, Whitecloaks descended upon the Two Rivers, and Rand and Moiraine faced their fates in the Aiel City of Rhuidean. Between the murder, betrayal, madness, and shocking reveals that characterized the heavy third season, goofy outtakes were a great way for the cast to let off steam.

The Wheel of Time season 3 arrived in 2025, and it continued Amazon Prime Video’s popular take on the beloved epic fantasy series.
Weighty storylines and action-heavy shooting schedules didn’t get in the way of keeping things light. The blooper reel shows that The Wheel of Time‘s cast are comfortable around each other in the show’s third year. Even newcomers to the cast seem warmly welcomed with open arms, if the infectious laughter in The Wheel of Time season 3 blooper reel is anything to go by. The cast’s familiarity bodes well for the show’s ability to keep pace with just how many characters The Wheel of Time‘s sprawling book series wound up juggling—if Prime renews it.
Our Take On Prime Releasing The Wheel of Time’s Season 3 Bloopers
It Shows Prime Hasn’t Forgotten About The Fantasy Series
The release of The Wheel of Time season 3 blooper reel comes over a month after the finale, while we’re still waiting to hear whether season 4 is happening. Prime Video has to weigh the high production costs of The Wheel of Time—the first two seasons alone cost over $260 million—against the mixed reception from longtime fans of Jordan & Sanderson’s books. The Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins is determined to finish the series, despite mounting pressure to race to the Last Battle between the Dark One and the Dragon Reborn in fewer seasons.
With a decision about The Wheel of Time season 4 still looming, Prime may have released the season 3 blooper reel not just as a show of goodwill to viewers, but to see whether the video itself drums up fan engagement a month later. It’s delightful to see The Wheel of Time cast taking their mistakes in stride, laughing at themselves and each other, while decked out in designer Sharon Gilham’s stunning costumes. I love seeing the palpable joy that goes into making The Wheel of Time, and hope it’s a sign of more to come.
