Everything to know about the 'Fourth Wing' series coming to Prime Video

Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya will star in Amazon MGM Studios' series adaptation of the fantasy novels by Rebecca Yarros.

'Carnival Row'

Fusing a hard-boiled detective story into a dark fantasy world, the Prime Video series stars Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings) as an investigator looking into a murder in a mysterious and intriguing world where mythical creatures have become refugees among humans. Along with Bloom, Carnival Row stars Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad) and Simon McBurney (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

'Good Omens'

Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, the Emmy-nominated Prime Video series Good Omens stars Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) as an angel and David Tennant (Doctor Who) as a demon who befriend each other and eventually forge an uneasy alliance to prevent the apocalypse that could threaten the world they've come to know and enjoy.

'Game of Thrones'

It is hard to talk about fantasy TV without mentioning Game of Thrones. The Emmy-winning epic, based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, follows the power struggles among noble families in the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos. With its sprawling cast, shocking twists, and epic battles, the eight-season run remains a benchmark for the genre.

'Xena: Warrior Princess'

A more lighthearted adventure, and a precursor to the modern fantasy shows we know and love, Xena: Warrior Princess ran for six seasons in the late 1990s with Lucy Lawless in the title role of an infamous warrior righting wrongs and helping those who can't help themselves. Taking place in ancient Greece, the series was a spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but soon surpassed it in popularity.

'The Legend of Vox Machina'

If you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons-or just love a good animated adventure-The Legend of Vox Machina is a must-watch.
The hit animated Prime Original series is based on the D&D series Critical Role that features a group of heroes teaming up to embark on a great quest in classic D&D and fantasy fashion. The cast includes the voices of Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien, and more. The Mighty Nein is another animated series set in the same universe.

'Grimm'

A modern-day fantasy series, Grimm ran for six seasons from 2011 to 2017. David Giuntoli plays detective Nick Burkhardt, who learns that he descends from a long line of monster hunters and must tackle a whole new world of supernatural threats. Once Nick learns the basics of the supernatural world, he is tasked with hunting down rogue mythological creatures called "Wesen," and protecting the unsuspecting public from supernatural threats they don't yet know exist.

'Merlin'

The long-running British fantasy series Merlin is one of the most ambitious versions of the Arthurian legend and story of Camelot, featuring a younger cast and a fresh take on the classic legends about the Round Table. The award-winning series is reimagining of the medieval story, starring John Hurt, Colin Morgan, Anthony Head, Angel Coulby, and more.

'His Dark Materials'

Based on the book series of the same name by Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials is a dark fantasy thriller set across multiple universes with a mysterious kidnapping at the heart of the story. Like many stories from the genre, the show boasts an expansive cast, led by Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Anne-Marie Duff, and Clarke Peters.

'The Librarians'

The Librarians is equal parts National Treasure and fantasy adventure, set in the modern day and following an ancient, secret organization tasked with stopping fantastical threats and protecting history. The series is a lighter fantasy adventure fused with historical twists and turns, starring a charismatic cast led by Rebecca Romijn, Christian Kane, and Lindy Booth.
