Game of Thrones is dead and buried, leaving behind a massive vacuum that everyone is looking to take advantage of. HBO is working on two separate fantasy shows, including a Thrones prequel as well as His Dark Materials, based on the novel trilogy of the same name. Amazon also has two series in the works that will attempt to deliver the same type of fantasy stories, filled with political intrigue, spectacular action, and varying levels of gratuitous nudity — I’m just speculating on that last bit. We’re looking at Carnival Row, which premieres later this month, and The Lord of the Rings TV series that hasn’t even started shooting.
But it’s Netflix’s upcoming The Witcher series that seems like it could be the closest thing we get to a Game of Thrones replacement, with the first season of the TV series set to premiere on the streaming service by late 2019.
