Fantasy Series That Could Be the Next ‘Game of Thrones’

Dune

Universal Pictures

The interplanetary setting of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” may be more science fiction than fantasy, but its military and political maneuvering between rival families will surely appeal to “Game of Thrones” fans. The novel has seen previous attempts at adaptation with varying degrees of success, but a new film franchise beginning in 2020 might be the most promising yet. Denis Villeneuve, known for sci-fi hits “Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2049” is set to direct, with an all-star cast including Oscar Isaac and Timothée Chalamet as father-son duo Leto and Paul Atreides, as well as Zendaya and “Thrones” favorite Jason Momoa.
