The Legend of Vox Machina
If you love your fantasy with a dose of chaos, crude humor, and surprising heart, The Legend of Vox Machina is a wild ride worth taking. Based on the Critical Role D&D campaigns, this animated series brings a ragtag band of mercenaries, all morally questionable, slightly dysfunctional, and wildly lovable, into a world of dragons, curses, and political intrigue. It’s fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly emotional. Plus, the voice cast is stacked with talent, and the animation is top-notch. A great pick if you want fantasy with edge and laughs.

The Librarians
A lighter fantasy adventure with puzzle-solving, magical artifacts, and secret societies. The Librarians follows a team of brainy misfits who protect the world from ancient, mystical threats hiding in plain sight. Think of it as Indiana Jones meets Hogwarts, but with a TV procedural twist. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it a charming and binge-worthy break between heavier epics like The Wheel of Time.

His Dark Materials
If you’re drawn to prophecies, parallel worlds, and powerful female leads, His Dark Materials is a must. Based on Philip Pullman’s beloved book trilogy, the series follows young Lyra Belacqua as she uncovers dark conspiracies, mysterious dust, and cosmic secrets that could change everything. The show blends science, magic, and theology in a way that’s both thought-provoking and visually stunning, perfect for fans who love deep lore and complex worldbuilding.

Grimm
Monsters, myths, and modern-day magic, Grimm is where fantasy meets crime drama. Set in Portland, it follows Nick Burkhardt, a homicide detective who discovers he’s a “Grimm,” a guardian tasked with keeping the balance between humanity and supernatural creatures. Each episode dives into fairy tale lore with a dark, twisty edge. If The Wheel of Time’s ancient prophecies and hidden bloodlines excited you, Grimm offers a similar flavor in a more modern-day package.
Carnival Row
A noir-fantasy hybrid set in a dark, Victorian-inspired world where mythological creatures live alongside humans, Carnival Row stars Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne in a tale of forbidden love, murder, and rising tensions between species. It’s moody, atmospheric, and full of political undertones, kind of like The Wheel of Time‘s more grounded, worldly side. And the costume design? Absolutely stunning.

Game of Thrones
You knew this one was coming. If you haven’t watched Game of Thrones yet (or want to revisit it), there’s no better time. With its complex web of power plays, dark magic, dragons, and massive battles, it set the gold standard for modern fantasy on TV. Yes, the final season was… controversial. But the journey there? Totally worth it for Wheel of Time fans who appreciate layered characters, ancient lore, and unpredictable twists.

Good Omens
Ready for a different kind of fantasy? Good Omens is quirky, clever, and absolutely delightful. Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, it follows an angel (Michael Sheen) and a demon (David Tennant) teaming up to stop the apocalypse. It’s not the traditional swords-and-sorcery style, but the sharp writing, witty banter, and cosmic stakes make it a fun detour for fantasy fans looking for something a little more whimsical.

Merlin
For a fresh spin on Arthurian legend, Merlin offers a charming and heartfelt take on the early days of the legendary wizard. Set in a time when magic is outlawed, young Merlin must hide his powers while protecting Prince Arthur, the future king, from dark forces. It’s packed with friendship, destiny, and mystical drama, and while it skews a little more family-friendly, the emotional stakes are still high. A great watch for those who loved the Wheel’s sense of prophecy and fate.
Xena: Warrior Princess
Last but never least, Xena. She’s iconic for a reason. This ’90s cult classic follows the fierce and complicated Xena (played by Lucy Lawless) as she tries to redeem her dark past by helping those in need, one swordfight at a time. It’s campy, yes, but it’s also bold, adventurous, and surprisingly ahead of its time in its themes. Plus, the epic battles, mythic quests, and magical monsters hit all the right fantasy notes.
