The Key to Better aging: More NAD+

Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.

As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.

Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.

As one of the world's biggest streaming platforms, Netflix has built an impressive library of fantasy programming that spans the genre's full spectrum. From epic anime adaptations and animated masterpieces to dark supernatural dramas and romantic time-travel sagas, Netflix offers something for every fantasy fan.

Whether you're looking for licensed content or Netflix originals, the platform has invested heavily in bringing magic, monsters, and mythical worlds to life. Here are the ten best fantasy TV shows currently available on Netflix, each offering their own unique brand of narrative wizardry.

Delicious in Dungeon

Beyond the usual fantasy anime offerings like The Seven Deadly Sins and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, one particular 2024 standout gently subverts genre tropes: Delicious in Dungeon. Based on Ryoko Kui's manga, the series follows adventurers exploring a dungeon while using defeated monsters as ingredients for inventive cuisine.

The group is led by swordsman Laios Touden, who's racing to rescue his friend before she's fully digested by a dragon. The show features all the usual medieval fantasy elements that any Dungeons & Dragons player will recognize, but it's also hilariously self-aware, constantly finding inventive ways to approach classic monsters through cooking sequences that punctuate most episodes.

It's delightfully entertaining with perfect genre awareness, making Delicious in Dungeon a gastronomic celebration of fantasy itself.

The Sandman

Neil Gaiman's acclaimed comic book series received an ambitious 2022 adaptation that does justice to the source material. The show follows Morpheus (Tom Sturridge), the Lord of Dreams, who's imprisoned for over a century due to a botched occult ritual. Returning to his realm, he must restore his domain while handling escaped nightmares like the terrifying Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook).

The Sandman does a stunning job bringing the comic to life with its tour of global mythology. Though ending after its second season (which feels slightly condensed), it tells a satisfyingly complete version of the saga. Weaving in folklore from numerous cultures while blending horror and fantasy, it's a worthy adaptation of the modern classic.

Note: The show's association with Gaiman comes under the shadow of sexual misconduct allegations against him, which viewers should be aware of when considering the series.

Arcane: League of Legends

The hit video game League of Legends gets a stunning animated adaptation with Arcane, which premiered in 2021. Set in a steampunk realm, the story focuses on a metropolis divided between high-society Piltover and hardscrabble undercity Zaun.

As explosive conflict threatens both communities, estranged sisters Violet (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) find themselves at the center. The escalating violence is increasingly informed by Hextech, a volatile blend of magic and science that could obliterate both factions.

Running for two self-contained seasons, Arcane is completely accessible to those unfamiliar with the game. It mixes political intrigue with raw family drama, featuring animation quality that's simply unparalleled. One of the best video game adaptations ever made and one of the best shows to binge-watch right now.

Masters of the Universe

The 1980s classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe received a direct sequel on Netflix with 2021's Masters of the Universe: Revelation and 2024's Masters of the Universe: Revolution. The show opens after Skeletor's (Mark Hamill) attack on Castle Grayskull, with his defeat damaging Eternia's magical balance.

With He-Man (Chris Wood) missing, the remaining heroes search for the Sword of Power while uncovering Grayskull's secrets. Powerhouse Animation beautifully updates Eternia and its characters, while Kevin Smith leads the creative team with sharp, occasionally self-aware writing backed by an all-star voice cast.

The series takes its mythos seriously while advancing it in interesting ways—both a love letter to its roots and a complete reinvigoration of the beloved franchise.

The Witcher

Andrzej Sapkowski's novel series was adapted by Netflix in 2019, centering on legendary monster hunter Geralt of Rivia as he finds himself in the middle of conflicts between fantasy kingdoms. At the center is Ciri (Freya Allan), a princess whose Elder heritage makes her a high-profile target for those wanting to exploit her magical potential.

Joining them is Geralt's on-again/off-again lover Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), a powerful sorceress in her own right. The show spawned an entire franchise including animated movies and prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin.

The main series weathered a high-profile recast with Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavill as Geralt, maintaining the monster-slaying spectacle and royal intrigue. One of Netflix's most ambitious fantasy series, breathing new life into Sapkowski's stories.

A Discovery of Witches

The 2018 British series based on Deborah Harkness's novels explores a secret world of witches and vampires. Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer) is dragged back into the magical life she left behind while studying at Oxford, joined by charismatic vampire Matthew Clairmont (Matthew Goode).

Together they protect an important manuscript discovered by Diana, with romance forming despite tensions between witches and vampires. Like True Blood or Twilight, the series revolves around supernatural conflicts in contemporary shadows, but excels through Palmer and Goode's chemistry, warmer aesthetics, and smart pacing.

The show knew not to overstay its welcome, ending after adapting its literary source material. One of the best vampire TV shows of all time, mixing romance with paranormal mystery.

Lucifer

The 2016 series makes the unlikely concept of a police procedural starring the Prince of Darkness work brilliantly. Growing bored with Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) relocates to Los Angeles, running a trendy nightclub while assisting police with cases, primarily working with detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German).

As their relationship develops, the City of Angels faces supernatural threats only the fallen angel can confront. The show revolves around Ellis's devilish charm and palpable chemistry with German, with Heaven and Hell intrigue keeping the case-of-the-week format fresh.

Netflix picked up Lucifer after Fox's cancellation, giving the series creative rebirth as it got delightfully weirder. A hellish twist on procedurals that somehow meshes fantasy stakes with crime drama perfectly.

Outlander

Diana Gabaldon's novel series became a long-running Starz series now available on Netflix. British nurse Claire Randall (Caitríona Balfe) accidentally travels from 1945 to 1743 while visiting Scotland with her husband.

Taken by Highlanders opposing English occupation, Claire falls for Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). This time-bending romance is complicated by brutal war before the couple relocates across 18th-century Europe and America.

Much of Outlander is historical drama that happens to feature fantasy-informed time travel as its inciting incident. The series uses its setting well, with the core couple caught in harrowing conflicts while their romance perseveres. The show spawned prequel spin-off Blood of My Blood, expanding its magical realism.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

One of the 21st century's most beloved animated properties premiered in 2005 on Nickelodeon. Set in an Asian-inspired world revolving around water, fire, air, and earth elements, the mythical Avatar controls them all.

Current Avatar Aang (Zachary Tyler Eisen), the last Air Nomad, works to stop the Fire Nation's war. His journey contrasts with disgraced prince Zuko (Dante Basco), who seeks to restore his honor before recognizing his kingdom's wickedness.

While keeping stakes accessible to younger viewers, Avatar never plays down to its audience, making its emotional story and redemption arc incredibly effective. The show spawned sequel series The Legend of Korra and a Netflix live-action adaptation. Simply put: one of the best fantasy TV shows ever made.

One Piece

Eiichiro Oda's global phenomenon spawned everything from merchandise to movies to television. Netflix has both select episodes of the 1999 anime and a live-action adaptation beginning in 2023. Both follow young pirate Monkey D. Luffy leading his Straw Hat Pirates in search of the One Piece treasure.

This pits them against rival crews and the Navy, with Luffy drawing from superhuman abilities granted by mythical Devil Fruit and his gifted allies. The anime is essential for newcomers to the medium while the live-action version is a solid translation of source material.

With its swashbuckling tale and characters empowered by Devil Fruit, the show gleefully leans into wacky possibilities of its premise. Fans have plenty to choose from on Netflix.

Why Netflix Dominates Fantasy

These shows demonstrate Netflix's commitment to fantasy programming across multiple styles and formats. The platform invests in both licensed classics and ambitious originals, understanding that fantasy fans want variety—from lighthearted anime to dark supernatural dramas, from romantic epics to political intrigue.

Whether you're looking for a quick binge or a long-running saga, Netflix's fantasy library has you covered. These ten shows represent the best of what the platform offers, each bringing magic, adventure, and unforgettable characters to the screen.

So grab your sword, prepare your spells, and settle in for some seriously good fantasy television. The adventure awaits.
