7 Lesser-Known Fantasy Series to Watch on Prime After Wheel of Time
These shows will scratch that fantasy itch.
Amazon has released the second season of its successful adaptation of The Wheel of Time, based on the novels by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
Moiraine and the Two Rivers outcasts find themselves separated, with the sword of Damocles hanging over them in the form of the forces of the Dark One. We have four thrilling episodes ahead, but many fans are already wondering what to do when the series ends. Let's explore the equally captivating alternatives available on Prime Video.
7. Mayfair Witches (2023, 1 season)
Few fans of the genre can resist the supernatural settings inhabited by vampires and witches. Based on the trilogy of the same name by the legendary Anne Rice (Interview with the Vampire), the series follows a neurosurgeon (Alexandra Daddario) who discovers that her family comes from a powerful witch dynasty.
6. The Outpost (2018, 4 seasons)
The Outpost provides a more traditional fantasy with typical tropes. Familiarity doesn't always breed contempt: the story follows a girl whose village has been destroyed by bandits. Driven by revenge, she discovers magical abilities within herself, as well as an even greater threat looming over the world.
5. The Power (2023, 1 season)
Naomi Alderman has co-created The Power, a TV series based on her namesake novel. The Power tells the story of how women acquired the superpower to electrocute people. It serves as a parable about common female traumas and attempts to resist the male establishment.
4. The Gryphon (2023, 1 season)
Combine Stranger Things with a dash of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, classic fantasy book series, and D&D (minus the sci-fi interpretation), and you will get The Gryphon! Set in the 1990s, the series tells the story of a teenager who travels to the fantasy world of the Black Tower to rescue his brother.
3. Britannia (2018, 3 seasons)
The plot of this show revolves around the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD, but the story does not always adhere to historical accuracy. Britannia is a fantasy show about the clashes between the Romans and Celtic tribes, replete with Druid magic.
2. Carnival Row (2019, 2 seasons)
Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, is a captivating story that blends elements of Victorian England, steampunk, and noir with traditional fantasy, filled with humans, fairies, and fauns.
1. Merlin (2008, 5 seasons)
Merlin offers a unique interpretation of Arthurian legend, framing the story in the style of teen dramas. Whether you've heard of the show or not, now is a great time to binge-watch it if you have a Prime subscription.
