The pain caused by HBO’s final season of Game of Thrones is still too new to allow us to fully appreciate what we lost when the series concluded earlier this year. Yes, season 8 was nothing short of an utter travesty and fans will never forgive showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss for butchering the script so badly. But if you can step back for a moment and think about the bigger picture, there’s nothing else on television that even comes close to achieving what Game of Thrones achieved. The incredible scale of the show was absolutely epic; try as they might, no other series even comes close. On top of that, the quality of acting and storytelling were completely unrivaled through the first six or seven seasons, depending on who you ask. It was an epic show and a tremendous accomplishment, and now it’s all over.
Since Game of Thrones has now concluded, big studios are scrambling to create new fantasy series that might replace it as our next big obsession. HBO itself has two new contenders on the way in His Dark Materials and Watchmen. Amazon’s Carnival Row was just released today, though early reviews suggest it falls well short of expectations, and it’s working on a huge Lord of the Rings series that will debut next year. Then there’s Netflix, which is working on an epic fantasy series of its own — and now we finally know when it will be released.
