Not only does The Witcher offer a similar aesthetic to Game of Thrones, with its vast ensemble of dirt-smeared beautiful people all nursing their own dark secrets, but its storytelling also may feel familiar to viewers used to patiently following multiple wide-ranging, seemingly disparate storylines until they eventually intersect in surprising ways. The Witcher ( Netflix)īased on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski (which has also been adapted into a successful trilogy of video games), The Witcher follows legendary warrior Geralt of Rivia ( Henry Cavill), princess Ciri of Cintra ( Freya Allan), and the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg ( Anya Chalotra) in a medieval fantasy setting as their intriguing paths gradually intertwine. While it lacks the fantasy elements of Game of Thrones, it delivers the compelling drama, high-stakes strategizing and high body count that Game of Thrones viewers have come to expect. While Vikings focuses on an overlapping period of history and even features some of the same characters, The Last Kingdom centers the Anglo-Saxons while presenting its Great Heathen Army as more straightforward antagonists.

Following characters in the Kingdom of Wessex during the Viking invasions of the late 9th and early 10th centuries, The Last Kingdom is another fictionalized historical tale offering plenty of stunning cinematography and impressive action.
