Between Netflix, Amazon, cable networks, and every other way to watch T.V. these days, there's a real wealth of great stories out there for fantasy fans — many of which have been on the air for some time. So whether you're looking for fairies, witches, or ancient gods, here are the best fantasy shows that you still might not be watching. Amazon has made a few splashy entries into the fantasy genre over the last few years, but Carnival Row might be their most ambitious project yet. Based on a film script by showrunner Travis Beacham, the show tells the story of a mythical world where a group of supernatural creatures called "fae" are forced to integrate into human society after war strikes their community. Naturally, this creates plenty of discord between the two populations, especially considering that humans are immediately distrustful of this group of powerful, magical beings. Of course, it also doesn't help that there's a supernatural serial killer running around, either.
The show is packed with plenty of star power, including Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne, and Jared Harris. So if you're looking for a series that beautifully blends magic with mystery and murder, then you might just want to take a stroll down Carnival Row.
Time travel is always a great conceit for any fantasy show, since it allows characters to freely travel across all kinds of different worlds and eras, and Starz' hit series Outlander uses this device to perfect effect. Based on Diana Gabaldon's book series, this adaptation stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, a married nurse who's just survived World War II, only to find herself transported back to Scotland in 1743 by a set of magical stones. Trapped in a time where women have no rights or any autonomy, Claire tries to find her way back home — but soon falls for Jamie Fraser, a Highlander she marries for protection. As their bond deepens, Claire begins to resist the chance to return home, eventually trying to manipulate time itself to keep the two lovers together. Keep watching the video to see the best fantasy shows you're still not watching!
