Fantasy is one of those genres that definitely takes time to grow due to its expansive worlds that are usually filled with magic, history, family conflict, mythology, ancient threats, and characters whose journeys are only just beginning during the first season. That is why the official confirmation of a renewal can feel especially exciting for the genre.
Fantasy shows like House of the Dragon, which is set to push deeper into a brutal family war rife with politics, dragons, betrayal, and tragic consequences, and the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, which is poised to continue a quiet, emotional fantasy journey about memory, time, grief, and the meaning of companionship, are two fantastical watches that are coming back with more seasons of imaginative storytelling and wonder. Compiled on this list are eight fantasy shows that are returning with new — and hopefully incredibly epic — seasons.
1
‘The Librarians: The Next Chapter’ (2025–Present)
This show is the perfect kind of renewed fantasy series to jump into for those genre enthusiasts who are looking for something with adventure. The Librarians: The Next Chapter follows a time-traveling librarian, Vikram Chamberlain (Callum McGowan), stranded in the present as he continues his adventures amid secrets, artifacts, and magical crises, whether he is ready to or not.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter’s second season officially premiered on August 2, 2026, bringing back a masterful mix of humor, adventure, and episodic mystery. While it is no surprise pickup, due to The Librarians: The Next Chapter’s initial multi-season commitment, it qualifies as the perfect guaranteed return that earns its place among fantasy TV’s best. Standing as a sturdy comfort watch that is fun and charming rather than the Earth-shaking bout of fantastical happenings, this series is great because of its lighthearted adventures, lovable characters, and classic magical escapism, making its return easy to celebrate.
2
‘Hazbin Hotel’ (2019–Present)
Hazbin Hotel is a beloved animated series on Prime Video that transforms Hell into a loud, colorful musical playground for chaos, redemption, and dark humor. The series centers around the optimistic Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen), who is eager to rehabilitate sinners instead of letting Hell’s endless cycle of punishment and extermination continue.
With its rather anarchic premise, Hazbin Hotel keeps coming back because it highlights one stubborn idea: maybe redemption is worth chasing despite countless hellish obstacles. The series has been renewed for both Season 3 and 4, lauded as one of the most addictive animated shows ever created. Hazbin Hotel makes sure everything within it matters, from song breaks and visuals to voice work. The iconic series is a fantastic watch that is as heartfelt as it is chaotic.

‘Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’ (2023–Present)
This remarkable anime fantasy series does what most don’t: begin its story after the fight with the big bad. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End focuses on the elf mage Frieren (Atsumi Tanezaki), who survives alone after the heroic party’s great victory, as she travels with friends, revisiting places her old party once crossed, and slowly understanding what human time, affection, and grief really mean.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End makes it easy to root for a new season as it proves that fantasy doesn’t have to be loud to be great. It’s a true gem that kept up its fantastic momentum with its second season, which premiered on January 16, 2026, and has since been officially renewed for a third season set to debut in late 2027. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End‘s power comes from its reflective nature, a clear example of a fantasy hit that is just as captivating as any battle-centric series, making its return one of the genre’s most exciting.
4
‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ (2023–Present)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ return is incredibly exciting for fans since the series’ story is designed to grow with Percy, transforming every epic adventure into another step toward the character’s brilliant evolution. The young-adult fantasy centers around Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), a boy who discovers he’s the son of Poseidon, an actual demigod, and is haphazardly thrown into the world of Greek mythology.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians isn’t some one-book novelty series, but a franchise with a spine, something made exceptionally clear with Disney’s renewal for season 3. The series’ third season is set to come later this year, sparking anticipation for a story rife with warmth, humor, and captivating mythology. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a quality adaptation that has become one of the few family-friendly fantasy shows that feels genuinely made for all viewers, marking it as one of the most important fantasy series to make its return.
5
‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ (2022–Present)
This ambitious fantasy show is coming back with new seasons, continuing its epic journey through Middle-earth with deeper lore, bigger battles, and higher stakes. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power tells the tale of the long tragedy that leads toward Sauron’s rise and the forging of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is treated as a true flagship and not some kind of experiment. Prime Video is bringing the series back because the fantastic story is still moving toward some of the most important events happening within Middle-earth. The series’ third season is coming in hot on November 11, 2026, with more expected to come as part of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’s larger long-term plan. Even among most fantasies, this one is one of the most memorable standouts that masterfully delivers exactly what big-screen Tolkien television should.
6
‘Moving’ (2023–Present)
Moving is one of the most underrated beauties on this list, but thankfully, the show is well-loved enough that it is returning, with more seasons expected. The superhero-esque show follows teens Jang Hui-soo (Go Youn-jung), Lee Gang-hoon (Kim Do-hoon), and Kim Bong-seok (Lee Jung-ha) as they attempt to live ordinary lives while hiding their superhuman abilities.
Moving is a quality watch, and with its second season finally confirmed, fans devoted to the fantasy series are filled with anticipation. The show stands strong as one of the best international dramas in the genre, a deeply emotional, unexpectedly tender, and sharply structured watch. Moving’s renewal is definitely justified since the show masterfully turns superpowers back into something truly raw and human.
7
‘House of the Dragon’ (2022–Present)
This epic prequel to the iconic fantasy series Game of Thrones stands as an important renewed series since it’s set to expand on the brilliant saga. House of the Dragon, set roughly 200 years before its beloved predecessor, centers around Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), who is raised to believe the Iron Throne is hers by right, while others make a bid for her seat, becoming the center of a rival claim.
House of the Dragon is a giant-franchise fantasy show that also feels like a genuinely prestigious drama. Even with its captivatingly massive spectacle, the show’s real engine is its character psychology, ranging from wounded pride and vengeance to inheritance and the poisoned intimacy of family politics. Its third season renewal dates back to 2024 and premiered in June 2026. HBO has also confirmed the series’ fourth and final season, likely premiering in 2028, ensuring House of the Dragon has a clear and satisfying conclusion that viewers will love.
8
‘Black Clover’ (2017–Present)
Black Clover is a beloved fantasy anime that had most fans worried they may never see another season, but thankfully that is not the case. The show follows two orphan boys, Asta (Gakuto Kajiwara) and Yuno (Nobunaga Shimazaki), as they grow up with the same seemingly impossible dream: to become the Wizard King. In a twist of fate, Asta discovers he has no magic at all, while his childhood rival is brimming with untapped power.
The new season of Black Clover is set to begin in October 2026, which finally ends a very long and agonizing wait for the series’ return. It’s a standout anime series that is beloved for its earnest fantasy redemption story, powered by escalating myth, teamwork, and pure velocity. Everything about Black Clover is epic, and since news of its return has reached fans, anticipation for the series’ next chapter has only continued to rapidly increase.
