On April 28th, 2016 at 3:45 PM, a message was posted to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time Google+ page with the following (verbatim):

Announcement

The following is a press statement that has been approved by the studio involved in contract negotiations:

Update: 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. Look for the official announcement coming soon from a major studio – Harriet

Initially, there was an announcement from Team Jordan after JordanCon that an announcement was forthcoming. And the above was the result.

Immediately, stories started popping up. First at Tor, and then at Gizmodo.
