Shows that feel likeGame of Thrones (2011–2019)
If you loved Game of Thrones, the closest series we have are The Witcher (2019), The Last Kingdom (2015) and House of the Dragon (2022). All three share Game of Thrones' epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Into the Badlands (2015).
If Game of Thrones hit the spot, these will too

Monsters, politics, and destiny in a brutal fantasy continent
The difference: One wanderer's episodic path, timeline tricks

One thread runs through both: king
The difference: Easier on the grit than Game of Thrones

The Targaryen prequel — same throne, same ruthless family calculus
The difference: One dynasty's civil war, tighter focus

Common ground: king
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than Game of Thrones does

Epic and bleak in the same breath
The difference: Sits closer to war & politics than Game of Thrones does

Sci-fi & fantasy built on momentum, twice over

Both lean on scale more than on drama

Both are built on the same subject: dragon

Bleak action & adventure, and it commits to that

Sci-fi & fantasy with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Epic drama in both cases
