2025’s Most Binge-Worthy Fantasy Epic Is Staging a Worldwide Comeback Before Season 2

Adam Blevins — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 08:40:14 GMT

Everyone has a favorite genre of movies or TV shows, but one of the few that pleases the most people are historical epics. Whether it’s older period pieces like The Passion of the Christ (directed by Mel Gibson) or more modern tales like Dunkirk (starring Tom Hardy), there’s a historical epic out there to please everyone. Some of the biggest historical epics have also come on the small screen with shows like Game of Thrones, the hit HBO series inspired by the writings of George R.R. Martin that has led to several spin-offs. The only reason that there aren’t more entries in the genre is that historical epics are as expensive — sometimes even more so — than sci-fi shows and movies. MGM+ recently aired one of the best historical epics of the last few years, and it's staging a comeback before it returns for Season 2.

While the most popular titles about World War II are movies, including classics like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List, a handful of TV shows have gone on to also portray the dark chapter in world history. Among them is World on Fire, a BBC series that first released in 2019 and was abruptly cut short after two seasons.

In 2017, Daniel Day-Lewis made what he said would be his final movie, Paul Thomas Anderson’sPhantom Thread. For eight years, the famously reclusive actor appeared to keep that promise, but a family bond lured him out of retirement.Directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, Anemone is a sparse and interesting drama starring the Oscar winner and Sean Beanas brothers who reconnect following a long estrangement. What came to theaters was an unusual mix, where the roughness of a first-time director meets the polish of a seasoned veteran. Flawed in places, Anemone remains nonetheless an interesting proposition.
