Must-Watch Fantasy TV: 10 Series That'll Leave You Spellbound

Hey fantasy lovers! Buckle up, because we’re diving headfirst into the rabbit hole of magic, monsters, mysteries, and mischief. At Land of Geek Magazine, we’ve brewed up a fresh cauldron of Top 10 Fantasy TV Shows that don’t just bend the genre—they twist it, break it, and put it back together in totally unexpected ways.

Whether you’re craving epic battles, haunted high schools, or moody gods with identity crises, this list is your personal Binge Scroll of Destiny™. So grab your popcorn (and maybe a silver dagger or two), and let’s jump into the multiverse of fantasy brilliance.

10. Dead Boy Detectives (2024)

Imagine Sherlock Holmes died in high school but still wanted to solve mysteries. That’s Dead Boy Detectives in a nutshell. Based on the DC Comics, this delightfully twisted tale follows Charles and Edwin—two ghost teens solving supernatural crimes with the help of Crystal Palace, a living psychic with zero patience for ghost drama.

Set in modern-day London, this show nails that perfect mix of creepy, quirky, and darkly funny. Plus, there’s a vengeful witch named Esther Finch who makes Maleficent look like a kindergarten teacher.

Why Watch: It's like if The Sixth Sense and Scooby-Doo had a goth baby and raised it on British sarcasm.

9. Locke & Key (2020–2022)

Magic keys? Check. Haunted house? Check. Shadowy demon disguised as a hot woman in a well? Oh, check.
Locke & Key brings the "family trauma meets mystical fantasy" vibes to a whole new level. The Locke siblings find a set of magical keys that unlock some wild abilities (and terrifying consequences). Think teleportation, mind control, and body possession—and that’s just the first season.

Why Watch: It’s emotional, it’s twisty, and the house has more secrets than a Hogwarts dorm room.

8. Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)

Yes, they finally did it. A live-action adaptation that didn’t suck.
Netflix’s 2024 Avatar: The Last Airbender reboot is an action-packed, visually stunning tribute to the original animated series. Aang, the young airbending monk and reluctant hero, teams up with water tribe siblings Katara and Sokka to stop the Fire Nation’s world domination tour.

Why Watch: Nostalgia with a glow-up. This show keeps the heart of the original but brings the visual effects we’ve always dreamed of.

7. Moon Knight (2022)

Oscar Isaac playing multiple versions of himself? Sign us the heck up.
Moon Knight is the Marvel show we didn’t know we needed. Mark Spector is an ex-mercenary with Dissociative Identity Disorder who becomes the earthly avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Chaos (and mummified mayhem) ensues.

Why Watch: It’s part superhero thriller, part psychological horror. Plus, it’s got ancient gods, creepy cults, and fight scenes in the Louvre.

6. Shadow and Bone (2021–2023)

Dark magic, epic wars, and morally gray hotties? Say no more.
Shadow and Bone, based on Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, follows Alina Starkov—a sun summoner with the power to destroy darkness (literally). She’s caught between power-hungry warlords, shadow monsters, and her own messy emotions.

Why Watch: It’s fantasy with fashion, flair, and feels. And yes, The Darkling will ruin your life—in the best way.

5. WandaVision (2021)

You thought this was a love story? Oh honey, it’s grief in Technicolor.
WandaVision flips Marvel storytelling on its head with a trippy, time-hopping sitcom mystery. Wanda creates an alternate reality to cope with Vision’s death—but that illusion starts to crack... and so does she.

Why Watch: It’s bold, weird, emotional, and ends with one of the most powerful moments in the MCU.

4. Outlander (2014–Present)

Time travel? Highland romance? A hot Scottish dude in a kilt? We're sold.
Outlander follows Claire, a WWII nurse who touches some mystical stones and wakes up in 18th-century Scotland. Between war, politics, and the swoon-worthy Jamie Fraser, Claire’s stuck in a life she never asked for—but maybe can’t leave behind.

Why Watch: History meets fantasy with a heaping spoonful of steamy romance and danger.

3. Lucifer (2016–2021)

Lucifer Morningstar leaves Hell to solve murders in LA. What more do you need?
Part crime procedural, part dark comedy, Lucifer is surprisingly deep. While charming the LAPD (and us), Lucifer grapples with love, redemption, and the whole “am I really evil?” question.

Why Watch: Snarky, stylish, and surprisingly soulful. Also, Tom Ellis as the devil? Perfection.

2. Supernatural (2005–2020)

15 seasons. One Impala. Two brothers. Infinite monsters.
Sam and Dean Winchester took us on a ride through America’s haunted highways, battling demons, angels, and the literal apocalypse—multiple times. But Supernatural was always about more than monsters. It was about family, sacrifice, and kicking evil in the face.

Why Watch: The show that defined fantasy television for a generation.

Honorable Mentions:

  • 30 Coins (2020–2023): A horror-laced Spanish thriller about cursed coins and biblical secrets.
  • Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023): Greek gods meet middle school mayhem in this faithful adaptation.
  • School Spirits (2023): A ghost girl solves her own murder—high school never ends.

1. Loki (2021–2023)

The god of mischief finally got his own show—and it broke time itself.
After escaping with the Tesseract, Loki is captured by the TVA, an agency that controls the sacred timeline. What follows is a chaotic journey through timelines, variants, and multiversal madness. Also? Sylvie. Mobius. And Alligator Loki.

Why Watch: It's not just a Marvel series—it’s a masterclass in identity, destiny, and chaos theory.

So, whether you're chasing timelines with Loki, solving mysteries with ghost detectives, or unlocking magical keys in haunted houses—fantasy TV has never been more imaginative or addictive. There's a whole multiverse of stories out there just waiting to enchant you.
