Collider has published a list recommending eight fantasy television series for viewers to stream as alternatives to HBO's House of the Dragon, arguing that the show's enormous popularity has overshadowed other high-quality fantasy productions. The article notes that House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones set 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen's birth, has been a critical and commercial success since 2022, but suggests fans explore comparable series spanning literary adaptations and acclaimed animation.

The list opens with Prime Video's The Wheel of Time (2021–2025), based on the novels by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and starring Rosamund Pike, which was praised for its world-building despite cancellation after three seasons. It also highlights Netflix's The Witcher (2019–present), adapted from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and led by Henry Cavill and later Liam Hemsworth, noting its comparable scale and production values to House of the Dragon. The full article continues with six further recommendations beyond these two entries.
