Set in a world where time is cyclical, magic exists, and only a powerful organization of women known as the Aes Sedai can control it, the show follows Rosamund Pike’s Moiraine, an Aes Sedai who seeks to find the Dragon Reborn, the latest incarnation of the one person destined to fight the Dark One and either save or destroy humanity in the process.

#OUTLANDER SEASON 1 AMAZON SERIES#
And it seems unlikely that the most recent series to join the fantasy fray, Amazon Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time, is going to be the show to do it, either.Īdapted for television by Rafe Judkins from Robert Jordan’s best-selling series of novels, The Wheel of Time is an expansive but fairly traditional entry into the fantasy genre. But with the exception of Starz’s adaptation of Outlander-which truthfully is only about 5 percent fantasy and 95 percent historical romance-no series has broken through to the masses or captured the zeitgeist like Thrones did for the better part of the 2010s. Between His Dark Materials, American Gods, The Witcher, and Shadow and Bone, fantasy is definitely having A Moment. For nearly a decade, Hollywood has been attempting to recreate the early magic of HBO’s sprawling fantasy epic Game of Thrones, and recently, TV fans have finally started seeing the fruits of this labor.
