The Rings of Power is fantasy on the largest scale television has tried: a famous set of books, a huge budget, and a whole world to get lost in. When you have run out of episodes, these are the three shows made the same way.
Number 1
House of the Dragon
The Game of Thrones prequel, set about two hundred years earlier, when the Targaryen family turns on itself over who inherits the throne. Darker and bloodier than The Rings of Power, with dragons on both sides of the war.
Streams on HBO Max
Number 2
The Wheel of Time
A sorceress arrives in a remote village looking for the one young person fated to save the world or break it. Rosamund Pike leads, and it improves with each season. It was cancelled after the third, so the story stops before the books do.

Number 3
His Dark Materials
A girl named Lyra, her daemon, and a journey from Oxford to the far north and into other worlds. It adapts all three of Philip Pullman's books, one season each. The only one of the three that is finished and has a proper ending.
