There are plenty of battles in the Holy Land, lots of betrayals, and a great portion of politics and swordplay, which you would surely appreciate as a Game of Thrones fan.

The series also features Jim Carter as Pope Boniface VIII, Mark Hamill as the veteran Templar Master Talus, Simon Merrells as another veteran Templar, Tancrede de Hautville, and many other talented actors.

Outlander

Outlander is a historical fiction drama based on a time travel novel series of the same name. It follows the WWII nurse, Claire (Caitriona Balfe), and her mysterious time travel into 1743 Scotland.

There's a lot of intrigues, violence, and battles in Outlander, as well as a lot of romance. You should definitely start binge-watching it if you want to transport into the fantasy world that's a bit reminiscing of Game of Thrones.

Vikings

Vikings is a historical drama that follows the life of a Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), a Viking farmer turned warrior turned Earl turned the Scandinavian King. It all starts with his desire to sail across the sea, and explore and raid the distant lands, such as England.

Black Sails

Black Sails is a historical adventure series that follows the story of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and his pirates, coming from the prequel of the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.
