In a press statement, Harriet McDougal -- the editor of the Wheel of Time novels and widow of Robert Jordan -- announced an official announcement about the forthcoming series should be coming from a studio soon."Wanted to share with you exciting news about The Wheel of Time. Legal issues have been resolved. The Wheel of Time will become a cutting edge TV series! I couldn’t be more pleased," she wrote on Google+ . "Look for the official announcement coming soon from a major studio."Wheel of Time was included on IGN's list of the 5 unadapted fantasy series that deserve Hollywood's attention . One of the most recognizable and popular fantasy series of all time, Wheel of Time is a massive epic with a sprawling cast of characters that tells the story of the quest to find the Dragon Reborn and stop the Dark One.In 2015, Red Eagle Entertainment released a low budget "pilot" for Wheel of Time that aired late in the night on FXX, seemingly in an attempt to hold onto the series' rights. After McDougal claimed no knowledge of the project, Red Eagle sued her for slander, though it seems those legal problems have since been resolved.
