Television has taken the fantasy genre to new heights with inventive storytelling, diverse casting choices, and bringing our imaginations to life.
Fantasy is currently experiencing a major boom in the television format. Just a few years after the phenomenon that was HBO's Game of Thrones ended after nearly a decade of airing, many new streaming services started developing their own fantasy epics for television, all fighting to hopefully capture the momentum of that series for their own. To have their own Game of Thrones. What we have learned so far is that there was no use fighting, there is room for all these shows.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Fantasy Is Accessible for Viewers of All Ages One of the difficulties with Game of Thrones is that it has a very limited audience. Kids couldn't watch it, and there was nothing else to offer to them on television at the time. During its reign there was very little competition on the fantasy front, BBC's Merlin being the closest family-friendly high fantasy series, but with a budget to that pales in comparison.
The Sandman has one of the most diverse casts you can experience throughout these shows. It has worked out amazingly for the show. Now is the perfect time to highlight Kirby Howell-Baptiste's captivating performance as Death within the show, without the casting decisions, we wouldn't have had this wonderful performance. His Dark Materials followed the same idea for casting their show's leads when casting Amir Wilson as Will Parry.
These Shows Are Incorporating More Queer Characters in Their Stories Stemming more from the same topic, something else that has been developing is more queer characters are in these shows. Just like people of color, queerness has largely been left absent from being portrayed in the fantasy genre. Game of Thrones had Loras Tyrell, among a few others, though most did not have any semblance of a happy ending, a common negative trope used in fiction. Thankfully, this is finally changing.
