The fantasy genre has long been about tales of magic, adventure, and perilous quests. And while the modern era retains those beloved elements, the year 2024 has seen an evolution of the genre in that it has introduced fresh tropes like political intrigue, dragon fights, alternate histories and darker worlds. Franchises like Lord of the Rings and cult favorites like Harry Potter have long dominated the silver screens, but on the small screens, there is scope for even more detailed and expansive universes to unfold.
