13 underrated fantasy shows to watch if you're still grieving The Wheel of Time

Unfortunately, there's no sign of that just yet, but it once again shows the passion that fantasy fans have for their favourite shows.

But it's not all bad news - there are still tons of fantasy shows out there just as gripping as The Wheel of Time.

Of course, we all love the big hitters, like Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, Wednesday and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Witcher and Merlin, but some of the others might have gone a little under the radar.

So, as the campaign to bring Rand (Josha Stradowski), Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) and co back to our screens continues, here are 13 fantasy shows you might have missed in the meantime.

Fate: The Winx Saga (Netflix)

Yes, Fate: The Winx Saga may be another victim of the surge of TV cancellations, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a watch. Combining teen drama with heartwarming fantasy, a touch of girl power and a dreamy romance makes for a charming watch.

It's not quite the same epic fantasy feel as The Wheel of Time, but if you're looking for a splash of magic to keep you going, it could be one for you.

Sweet Tooth (Netflix)

It's hard to see why Sweet Tooth hasn't become a bigger hit. It's a gorgeous hidden gem on Netflix, starring talented youngster Christian Convery as the half-boy, half-deer hybrid facing unspeakable danger in a post-apocalyptic world.

Crucially, Sweet Tooth was actually finished, airing its final instalment last year - so you've got three seasons to keep you going.

The Changeling (Apple TV+)

Another fantasy story that went a little under the radar was The Changeling on Apple TV+. While the streamer has become well known for its sci-fi offerings, it made a rare step into fantasy for this story, starring LaKeith Stanfield and Adina Porter.

The Changeling delves more into horror fantasy than The Wheel of Time does - but if you're missing the twists and turns of the Prime Video series, this could be one for you.

Domino Day (BBC iPlayer/Netflix)

Before Siena Kelly led Black Mirror's gaslighting episode Bête Noire, she took on the role of a stylish witch in Domino Day.

The series, which originally aired on the BBC and is now available on Netflix, effortlessly shrugs off witchy tropes - as does The Wheel of Time - for something a little different.

The Devil's Hour (Prime Video)

Sure, Peter Capaldi-led thriller The Devil's Hour straddles a fair few different genres, but there's no doubting that fantasy fans will enjoy it.

The Prime Video series explores the strange connection between Capaldi's Gideon and Jessica Raine's Lucy Chambers, with huge twists and turns along the way. Plus, a third season is officially on its way!

Mayfair Witches (BBC iPlayer/Prime Video)

If you haven't delved into Anne Rice's Immortal Universe yet, it's officially time to start! Technically, Mayfair Witches is the second series set in the Immortal Universe, but it may be the most natural one for fans of The Wheel of Time to get into.

The series follows Dr Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario), who discovers that she's the heiress to a dynasty of powerful witches haunted by a sinister spirit. Cue the family drama!

Interview with the Vampire (BBC iPlayer/Prime Video)

Perhaps the most iconic instalment of Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, though, is Interview with the Vampire, beautifully led by Sam Reid (Lestat de Lioncourt) and Jacob Anderson (Louis de Pointe du Lac), following Louis's life story after he gave an unpublished interview to veteran journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) decades ago.

Effectively teetering between quietly chilling and shockingly brutal, you'll want to pay attention to every single detail. Things might not all be as they seem.

Arcane (Netflix)

If you haven't already, it's time to embrace animated fantasy adventures, because there's an absolutely incredible array on offer. Perhaps the best of them is Arcane on Netflix, a gripping adventure about sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell), who are torn apart and find themselves on opposite sides of a war.

The series ended last year with a widely praised season 2 - but we're expecting more adventures in the League of Legends world in future.

Shadow and Bone (Prime Video)

If you're after another fantasy book adaptation, Shadow and Bone could be the way to go. Beautifully balancing the story of the Grisha and the Darkling with an original story involving the Crows, it feels like a natural love for any Wheel of Time fan - particularly when it comes to the world-building.

Sadly, Shadow and Bone was also cancelled before its time, with Ben Barnes recently opening up about how it deserved longer on screens - but again, that doesn't mean it's not still worth the watch.

School Spirits (Paramount Plus)

Just like The Wheel of Time, supernatural drama School Spirits is picking up steam as the seasons go on.

It follows Maddie (Peyton List), a girl who gets stuck in the afterlife investigating her own disappearance - but, as she gets closer to the truth, the darker things become. Season 2 left us on a monumental cliffhanger, with season 3 now in production - and it can't come soon enough.

Carnival Row (Prime Video)

Combining magic, politics and a heartwrenching love story was an easy feat for Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom as Rycroft 'Philo' Philostrate and Cara Delevingne as Vignette.

Unfortunately, the series was forced to wrap up early due to a number of factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic - but there are still two glorious seasons there for you to enjoy.

One Piece (Netflix)

If you're looking for more escapades after The Wheel of Time's cancellation, things don't get more adventurous than the Straw Hat Pirates. Based on the manga by the inimitable Eiichiro Oda, the Netflix live-action version of One Piece brings the story to life in a completely new way.

Plus, if you enjoy the live-action version, it may well be time to delve into the anime, which will certainly keep you busy.

Devil May Cry (Netflix)

The TV adaptation of the wildly popular game Devil May Cry was long-awaited - but it certainly didn't disappoint.

Following demon hunter Dante as he encounters a dangerous demon-obsessed terrorist called the White Rabbit, the series is weird and wonderful - and an absolute visual treat. That's before we even mention that stellar soundtrack. Thankfully, season 2 is on the way.
