Shows that feel likeThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022–)

Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

If you loved The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the closest series we have are A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026), House of the Dragon (2022) and The Shannara Chronicles (2016). All three share The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Wheel of Time (2021).

A gentler corner of a huge fantasy world, travelled at walking pace

The difference: Small and intimate by design — one pair of friends, no continental war

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.

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.
