At the time, it was announced that Alexene Farol Follmuth (Blake’s real name) would be helping Amazon develop the series with the production company Brightstar (viaDeadline).
However, since then, neither the author nor Amazon have given anything away about the project, or even revealed if it is still in development. WhenThe Atlas Sixwas first released, it became a huge sensation on TikTok, and quickly amassed a huge fan base. So,if the series does move forward soon, it should have a solid audience.

ThoughThe Wheel of Timewill be impossible to truly replace, Prime Video’s upcoming shows will give fantasy fans plenty of new options.
