Greenspan](https://time.com/author/rachel-e-greenspan/) ## Rachel E. Greenspan May 17, 2019 11:00 AM UTC Someone is taking the [Iron Throne](http://time.com/5570676/game-of-thrones-arya-gendry-reunion/). But who will take your Sunday night TV-watching slot? For those searching for what to watch after [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5588396/lena-headey-cersei-lannister-game-of-thrones-final-scene/) airs its [final chapter on Sunday](http://time.com/5587928/game-of-thrones-will-arya-kill-daenerys/), fear not. There are ample [binge-worthy dramas](http://time.com/5581711/dead-to-me-netflix-review/) available to stream right now. [Millions of viewers](http://time.com/5568653/game-of-thrones-last-water-cooler-show/) will lament bidding farewell to characters as powerful as [Arya Stark](http://time.com/5588151/game-of-thrones-white-horse-meaning/) (Maisie Williams), as complicated as [Daenerys](http://time.com/5587311/daenerys-mad-queen-game-of-thrones/) (Emilia Clarke) and as sarcastic as [The Hound](http://time.com/5583568/game-of-thrones-arya-the-hound-kill-list/) (Rory McCann). But shows from _Westworld_ to _Russian Doll_ can fill the empty space they leave behind and offer up new opportunities to theorize and obsess. Here’s what you should watch after _Game of Thrones_ ends. ## _Westworld_  John P. Johnson—HBO ### **Where to watch:** HBO ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** Goodbye, Westeros, and hello, [_Westworld._](http://time.com/5294589/westworld-season-3-details/) The HBO science fiction drama, based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same name, takes place in an uncanny Wild West amusement park of the future. With pre-programmed android “hosts” who are meant to fulfill the desires of the park’s high-paying visitors, the show’s first two seasons (which aired in 2016 and 2018) left theories dangling and questions unanswered. HBO has even (not surprisingly, considering it’s home to both) [recommended _Westworld_ as a companion to _Game of Thrones_](https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/5-reasons-to-watch-westworld), for its violence, power dynamics, powerful female characters and complex world of fantasy. Plus, the hole in your heart left by Arya and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) might be filled by [_Westworld_‘s](http://time.com/5323393/westworld-season-2-finale-game-of-thrones-easter-egg/) Maeve (Thandie Newton) and Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood). Watch the first two seasons to prepare for the show’s third season, which is expected to air in 2020. ## _Merlin_  France, Picardie, Oise, Chateau de Pierrefonds, dating from 14th C.

Used as set for BBC Merlin series.(Photo by: Eye Ubiquitous/UIG via Getty Images) Eye Ubiquitous—UIG/Getty Images ### **Where to watch:** Hulu ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** Dragons, magic, kingdoms and outlaws make _Merlin,_ which ran on the BBC from 2008 to 2012, a neat fit to follow[_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5588182/game-of-thrones-family-history-jon-snow/). The show is loosely based on the legend of King Arthur and his relationship with the magician Merlin, set in a Camelot that has outlawed magic. As Merlin and Arthur mature and grow into their positions as leaders of Camelot, a dragon reveals Merlin’s destiny and the adventures unfurl from there. Its five seasons feature much of the magical tension found in _Game of Thrones —_ even though Dany’s not there to [train the dragons](http://time.com/5583767/game-of-thrones-more-dragons/). ## _Battlestar Galactica_  BATTLESTAR GALACTICA -- SCI FI Channel -- Miniseries -- Air Date 12/08/2003 and 12/09/2003 -- Pictured: (l-r) -- Photo by: Alan Zenuk/SCI FI Channel/NBCUPB Alan Zenuk—Syfy/Getty Images ### **Where to watch:** Amazon Prime Video ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** For those keen to continue poring over theories and analyzing the politics of a fantasy world, _Battlestar Galactica_ is a solid bet. Part of the franchise that began with the 1978 series of the same name, this iteration started as a miniseries in 2003 before four regular seasons continued until 2009\. Earning a spot on [TIME’s 100 Best TV Shows of All Time](http://time.com/3100889/battlestar-galactica/) list, the award-winning science-fiction series is a good way for fans of Westeros to movie from a fiction of the past to one of the future. ## _The Tudors_  Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII and Tamzin Merchant as Katherine Howard (Season 4, episode 1) - Photo: Jonathan Hession/Showtime - Photo ID: tudors\_401\_0211 Jonathan Hession—Showtime ### **Where to watch:** Showtime, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** The historical series _The Tudors_ takes place in 17th-century Great Britain, telling a fictionalized version of events during King Henry VIII’s reign. The series, which ran on Showtime from 2007 to 2010, is mysterious, dramatic and replete with conspiracy. It will also satisfy European history buffs, who will recognize figures like Anne Boleyn, played by _Game of Thrones_ alumna Natalie Dormer. With all the sex, war and violence of _Game of Thrones —_ and four seasons to binge — _The Tudors_ is a worthy next stop. ## _Kingdom_  'Kingdom' JUHAN NOH—Netflix ### **Where to watch:** Hulu, Netflix ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** _Game of Thrones_ fans understand that a character’s death is not a done deal. The hit South Korean series _Kingdom_ calls to mind the Night King with its story of zombies, and the quest for the Iron Throne in its dealings with royal succession. Set during the Joseon Dynasty, which lasted for five centuries beginning in 1392, it follows the Crown Prince Yi Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) after his father is infected with the mysterious virus. _Kingdom’s_ first season aired on Netflix this year and the second season is in the works, [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanmacdonald/2019/02/13/netflix-zombie-hit-kingdom-begins-filming-second-season/#72602a0e6e0f) reports. ## _The Spanish Princess_  Starz ### **Where to watch:** Starz ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** Another story from midcentury Britain, [_The Spanish Princess_](http://time.com/5453063/best-ya-kids-books-2018/) premiered on Starz earlier this month. The series, which is based on two novels by Philippa Gregory, follows Catherine of Aragon, the daughter of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, as she embarks on her marriage to the Prince of Wales and the task of forging peace between Spain and England. From betrothals to betrayals and succession to the throne, _Game of Thrones_ fans will find familiar themes in a wholly different setting in _The Spanish Princess_. ## _Russian Doll_  Russian Doll Courtesy of Netflix ### **Where to watch:** Netflix ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** On its face, [_Russian Doll_](http://time.com/5509932/russian-doll-netflix-review/)couldn’t look more different from _Game of Thrones_. The series, created by Amy Poehler, Leslye Headland and star [Natasha Lyonne](http://time.com/5543019/documentary-now-best-episodes/), takes place in modern-day Manhattan. It features trendy outfits, hipster-appointed apartments and lots of marijuana. There’s a lot of dying — Lyonne’s character dies over and over again and comes back each time to the same moment, _Groundhog Day-_style — but never by battle or dragon’s breath. But with complicated twists and turns inviting theories from its very first scene, the eight-episode Netflix dramedy is perfect for the _Game of Thrones_ fan who loves to guess what’s next. Its brief episodes also make it highly possible to watch from start to finish on one lazy Saturday. ## _The Shannara Chronicles_ ### **Where to watch:** Netflix, Amazon Prime Video ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** A team of teens — some human, some fantastical — come together to save the Earth from demons in _The Shannara Chronicles,_ a fantasy made for binge-watching. _Thrones_ fans who love the drama of White Walker battles and the sprawling mythical world will feel at home in the Four Lands, the setting for the series, which is based on _The Sword of Shannara_ novels by Terry Brooks. ## _Outlander_  Aimee Spinks—2018 Starz Entertainment, LLC ### **Where to watch:** Starz, Amazon Prime Video ### **Why** **_Game of Thrones_** **fans would like it:** For the romantics left reeling by Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Dany’s impossible love, _Outlander_ is the perfect consolation prize. Based on Diana Gabaldon’s book of the same name, it follows a World War II nurse who travels back in time to 1700s Scotland, where she falls for a warrior (Sam Heughan) — who is definitely not the 20th-century husband of her reality. Throughout the show’s four seasons, Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) travels with her new love interest throughout Europe during a tense moment in history. The show has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season, so there’s more to look forward to if you tear through the first four.
