He considers the television adaptation to be a 'completely different turning of the wheel from the books', saying: 'It's not an adaptation of the books to me it's an adaptation of the NEXT time these people are living this story.'

Sanderson has responded generally positively to the television series adaptation. Rafe Judkins has stated that Sanderson reviewed several potential changes to storylines in the show, and Judkins praised Sanderson for his 'huge help.'

Sanderson's involvement in the television series as a consulting producer was confirmed on June 19, 2019.

Outside of writing The Wheel of Time, Sanderson is also known as the author of the Cosmere fictional universe, which is the setting of the Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive book series.
