A great fantasy show is hard to find. Given their limited budgets, it’s often hard to encapsulate the fantastical worlds these stories inhabit. However, these 10 fantasy shows on Netflix will keep you hooked for hours, sometimes days, in magical worlds.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
A legacy prequel to Jim Henson’s original classic, Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is set years before the original and tells the story of how the Skeksis grew to power by corrupting the crystal, and how Gelflings started a revolution to save their planet.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
One of the best-animated shows of all time, Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world where four different nations have the power to manipulate the four different elements, Earth, Water, Fire and Air. After vanishing for 100 years, Aang, the Avatar who can master all four elements, returns to a world fraught with war and must attempt to reunite the nations.
Shadow & Bone
Based on the acclaimed series of novels by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow & Bone is set in a Soviet Russian-inspired fantasy world where a dark swath of unnatural magic has divided the land. After her ship is attacked, Alina Starkov reveals a buried power that could change the fate of the world.
Arcane
Easily Netflix’s best original fantasy series, Arcane, inspired by the video game League of Legends, tells the origins of two iconic League champions, one from the above-ground utopia of Piltover, and the other from the oppressed underground of Zaun.
The Sandman
Adapted from the acclaimed Neil Gaiman graphic novel series of the same name, The Sandman follows Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, who escapes a hundred-year imprisonment to find his realm in ruin. As he attempts to restore The Dreaming, Morpheus crosses paths with his six siblings, Despair, Desire, Death, Destiny, Delirium and Destruction.
The Dragon Prince
Featuring the voice of Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince is one of Netflix’s best new kids shows. In a world where magic flows from six primal sources, human mages have devised a seventh – dark magic – and require the magical essence of ancient creatures, sparking a war between the mages and the Human Kingdoms.
Locke & Key
Written by Joe Hill – the son of Stephen King – Locke & Key tells the horrific story of three siblings who move into their father’s reality-bending mansion after his untimely death.
Sweet Tooth
Another one based on a graphic novel, Sweet Tooth is set in a world where a select few humans are born with genetic components from other animals, being labelled hybrids. When Gus, a hybrid, finds himself hunted, he searches for a new home with help of a gruff protector.
Disenchantment
From the mind behind The Simpsons, and Futurama, Disenchantment brings Matt Groening’s signature animated style to a disfunctional fantasy world filled with underwater civilizations, steampunk cities and incompetent kings.
