HBO
Waiting for the next season of House of the Dragon can feel like forever, right? Season 3 is coming in 2026, but don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! If you’re a fan of dragons, drama, and epic battles, here are five shows you’ll totally love to binge right now.
The Witcher
If you’re into medieval vibes, magic, and power struggles like in House of the Dragon, you’ll dig The Witcher. It’s based on books by Andrzej Sapkowski and follows Geralt (Henry Cavill), a monster hunter who’s trying to fit into a world where people can be worse than the beasts he fights. He teams up with a sorceress named Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and a princess, Ciri (Freya Allan), and their stories get super intense. It’s got deep characters, cool monsters, and awesome fight scenes—perfect for fantasy fans! You can watch it on Netflix.
Vikings
Love the big battles in House of the Dragon? Then Vikings is your next go-to. It’s a historical show about Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), a farmer who becomes a Viking king. He leads his crew to raid places like England and France, and later, the show dives into his sons’ adventures too. Expect tons of action, epic invasions, and family drama with betrayals and alliances. It’s a bit more real since it’s based on history, but it’s just as gripping. Catch it on Netflix!
Succession
Okay, this one might sound surprising, but hear me out—Succession has a lot of the same drama as House of the Dragon. It’s about the Roy family, who own a huge media company. When the dad, Logan Roy (Brian Cox), starts slipping, his kids—Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck)—fight like crazy to take over. It’s all about power, backstabbing, and family fights, just without the dragons. The dialogue is sharp, and the characters are wild. It’s on Max, and it’s won a bunch of awards!
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
If you love the huge, magical worlds in House of the Dragon, you’ve gotta check out The Rings of Power. It’s set way before The Lord of the Rings and dives into Middle-earth’s past, showing how Sauron rises and the Rings of Power get made. You’ll see characters like Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) fighting a growing evil. It’s got that epic, jaw-dropping feel with amazing sets, but it’s a bit more hopeful than House of the Dragon’s family feuds. It’s on Amazon Prime Video—perfect for fantasy lovers!
The Last Kingdom
Here’s another historical gem: The Last Kingdom. It’s set in the 9th century and follows Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon), a guy born a Saxon but raised by Vikings. He’s caught between two worlds while trying to take back his family’s land and help unite England. It’s based on real history, so the battles and drama feel super real. Like House of the Dragon, it’s got rivalries, war, and tricky politics, but it mixes in more action and adventure. If you want high-stakes stories with a grounded vibe, this one’s for you. Watch it on Netflix!
These shows will keep you hooked while you wait for more Targaryen drama—happy bingeing!
