If you loved House of the Dragon, the closest series we have are A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026), Merlin (2008) and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022). All three share House of the Dragon's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is His Dark Materials (2019).
