Fantasy is, at its core, about imagination. The same can be said of every fictional genre, but traditional swords-and-horses-and-magic fantasy lends itself especially well to big concepts, extreme spectacle, and massive heart. That unlimited scale drives many of the time-honored tropes audiences seek out: arduous quests, enchanted objects, epic battles against insurmountable foes, and unlikely underdogs saving the world through the power of friendship.

Prime Video's relationship to its flagship fantasy commissions has proved somewhat inconsistent over the past several years. Last summer, the streamer cancelled The Wheel of Time, citing budgetary concerns for the acclaimed adaptation's tragically early demise. On the other hand, recent statements indicate their plans to continue pouring support into an even costlier epic, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. When it comes to promising genre originals with smaller financial requirements, the streamer has mostly, and thankfully, adopted the latter approach.
