So if you're looking for something new to watch and missing Game of Thrones like me, I can recommend The Letter for the King as a fantasy world I'm glad I sank six hours into. The Letter for the King is more Lord of the Rings than Game of Thrones in its earnest tone and commitment to its high fantasy setting, just with a younger cast. The Night King’s army of the dead has moved very, very slowly, marching south from. This isn't YA in the same way as, say, the darkly, delightfully campy Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars. In Game of Thrones, the White Walkers have morphed from a seldom-seen myth to the greatest enemy in Westeros. But the young cast is great, with believable chemistry and strong performances that anchor the show even as it spins up in a fantastical way. The one key exception is Andy Serkis, who appears opposite his real-life daughter Ruby Ashbourne Serkis (adorably, he plays her dad in the show). Unlike those previously mentioned titles, there aren't really any big names you'll recognize in The Letter for the King. Shot in Prague and New Zealand, The Letter for the King feels akin to Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones in its scale, bringing its fantastical backdrop to life better than the likes of The Shannara Chronicles or, I'd argue, even The Witcher.
The Letter for the King checks all those boxes, and it also looks great. I'm a sucker for most things fantasy, so I'm predisposed to give your show a shot if you've got interesting characters, a solid magic system, and a good mystery. What I liked most about The Letter for the King is the world it created.
