A TV series adaptation produced by Sony Pictures and Amazon Studios premiered in 2021. Its popularity has spawned a collectible card game, a video game, a roleplaying game, and soundtrack album. As of 2021, the series has sold over 90 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling epic fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings. After its completion, the series was nominated for a Hugo Award. The eighth through fourteenth books each reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list. The Wheel of Time is notable for its length, detailed imaginary world and magic system, and large cast of characters. The series draws on numerous elements of both European and Asian mythology, most notably the cyclical nature of time found in Buddhism and Hinduism, the metaphysical concepts of balance and duality, and a respect for nature found in Taoism, the Abrahamic concepts of God or Satan and Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace (1869). During the writing process, however, it was decided that the book would be far too large to be published in one volume instead, it would be published as three volumes: The Gathering Storm (2009), Towers of Midnight (2010), and A Memory of Light (2013). Fellow fantasy author Brandon Sanderson was brought in to complete the final book.

He prepared extensive notes so another author could complete the book according to his wishes. Jordan died in 2007 while working on what was planned to be the final volume in the series.

Originally planned as a six-book series, The Wheel of Time spans 14 volumes, in addition to a prequel novel and two companion books. The Wheel of Time is a series of high fantasy novels by American author Robert Jordan, with Brandon Sanderson as a co-author for the final three novels.
