There’s almost nothing left for Netflix’s The Sandman except for a bonus episode released on July 31, with the show’s definite finale having already made it to the streamer’s platform.

Despite many fans’ expectations, the series didn’t get to live longer than for just two seasons, still leaving a lot to explore for those who will turn to Neil Gaiman’s comic books now.

However, The Sandman isn’t the only fantasy drama that has conquered Netflix in recent years, so here are some great options in case you have no idea what to fill the void with.

‘Sweet Tooth’ (2021 — 2024)

Netflix’s hit animated anthology series, Love, Death + Robots is a less serious (and depressing) take on the themes explored in the streamer’s other big sci-fi series, Black Mirror.

The series came as a much darker reimagining of Iginio Straffi’s classic animated series Winx Club, still following young fairy Bloom and her friends in the magical boarding school called Alfea.

Like the original show, Fate: The Winx Saga also tackles essential themes like identity, betrayal, friendship and romance.

‘Lucifer’ (2016 - 2021)

• On Rotten Tomatoes, Lucifer holds scores of 87% and 73% from critics and audiences
