House of the Dragon (2022– )

The succession war in the Targaryen house, 172 years before Daenerys came along.

"House of the Dragon" is a series based on another set of George RR Martin's books, which presents the history of the Targaryen house, at a time when dragons were still in considerable numbers. Full of intrigue, more or less moderate shock (GOT forever changed the bar), captivating characters, and yet the lack of typologies like those of the Starks is felt.

Fate: The Winx Saga (2021–2022)

Bloom goes to a special school for fairies, after accidentally causing a fire in her parents' house.

'Fate: The Winx Saga' is a live-action adaptation of a cartoon. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy it, in fact it's probably recommended to not be because the fans weren't.. fans. For those who like fantasy and schools for magic, this series is not a bad choice. The cast is almost exclusively British, including language and behavior. The plot is not the most interesting or original, but the characters and their interaction have that little something special.
