From the large number of shows you can choose from, we’ve selected the best of the best. Here are The Best Fantasy TV Shows to Watch in 2026.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

HBO, 18th January A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is arguably the most exciting fantasy show of 2026. It arrived in January as the latest Game of Thrones spinoff adaptation from George R.R. Marin’s beloved Dunk and Egg story. Unlike the other Game of Thrones shows, this series will be more intimate and character-driven, featuring humour and more personal stakes, rather than kingdoms fighting each other. The early trailer shows a refreshing take, away from the typical Westeros formula, focusing on Dunk and Egg’s adventures as a hedge knight and a squire, decades before the main series.

House of the Dragon Season 3

HBO, Summer 2026 If you’re craving for a classic GOT drama that’s full of betrayal, House of the Dragon Season 3 is expected to premiere in June or early July 2026. Season 2 had a slower pace, so fans can anticipate a more intense and faster pace as the Targaryen civil war reaches its peak. As always, the series continues to explore the Dance of the Dragons, considered the most catastrophic event in Westeros’ history.

One Piece

Netflix, 10th March The Netflix live-action adaptation of this famous anime will return on 10th March and will introduce fan-favorite characters like Tony Tony Chopper and Nico Robin to life. Not only that, it will now tackle the Alabasta Arc. The first season proved that live-action anime adaptations could work when creators respect the source material. With Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, involved, Season 2 looks as promising as ever.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3

Amazon Prime, TBC Even though Amazon Prime has not announced a specific date, the series is still confirmed to air in 2026. The Rings of Power tells the story before Frodo’s journey, specifically more than thousands of years before it happened. It follows characters like Galadriel and Elrond as they fight against Sauron’s rise to power during the Second Age of Middle-earth. Tolkien fans had mixed reactions to the series, but there is still a massive audience just because of its scale and insane production value.

The Witcher

Netflix, TBC The Witcher will finally end its run with a Season 5 release on Netflix. Not only that, Liam Hemsworth will debut as Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill. This casting change sparked a lot of controversy, but the final season still keeps up the same quality and introduces a new villain that will make everybody tune in.
