Broken Earth
As the lone entry on this list based on a property written by a woman of color, N. K. Jemisin’s “Broken Earth” series offers a fresh alternative to the dominant fantasy perspective. Starting with “The Fifth Season,” the story focuses on earth-magic users in a world marred by recurring natural disasters, not dissimilar to the devastating winters in “Game of Thrones’s” Westeros. The series is planned to air on TNT, which might make it tough to compete with major players like HBO and Amazon, but the source material for a hit is definitely there.
