So here’s what you should be keeping your eyes open for in 2019 and beyond - sorted, for your convenience, by how soon we’re likely to see them. Hell, some of them even already have a premiere date. Given that there’s no shortage of (very exciting) announcements, Vulture decided to pick 15 of the TV fantasy adaptations we confidently feel will be premiering in the near(ish) future, as opposed to a one-and-done press release that hasn’t come to fruition after a few years’ time.

For every Thrones - which itself took more than four years to make it to TV after HBO first acquired the rights - there’s a Dragonriders of Pern, the Anne McCaffrey fantasy series that’s swerved in and out of development hell for over two decades.

With Game of Thrones and its monstrous ratings officially as dead as the Mother of Dragons, it’s reasonable to assume that every network executive is currently sitting in their office, laptop out, and Googling “oh my God, please give me a fantasy adaptation that can sustain itself for eight seasons.” Actually, that’s more than reasonable - looking back at the past year in terms of ambitious projects in development, it’s clear that all the big network players are hoping to recapture that Westeros magic in any way possible, green-lighting dozens and dozens of adaptations to fill the void.īut there’s a long road between a green light and a series actually making it to air.
