Shows that feel likeA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026–)

A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros: a young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits await these improbable and incomparable friends.

If you loved A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the closest series we have are House of the Dragon (2022), Merlin (2008) and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022). All three share A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Timeless (2016).

Both are George R.R. Martin's work, and they rhyme

The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.

Action & adventure with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

A mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, a soldier and a history professor, who must use the machine's prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. But can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it's too late?
