Cursed tells a reimagined story of King Arthur and Excalibur, flipping the script and centering Nimue, the mythical Lady of the Lake, as the series' hero. The series premiered on Netflix and quickly claimed the top spot on the streaming service. While fans wait on news of a potential Season 2, we've compiled some similar shows worth checking out. If you liked the mystical elements of Cursed, then you'll likely enjoy these eight fantasy series too.

#4 Xena: Warrior Princess

ImageA cult classic. If you rewatch (or watch for the first time), you’ll find that Cursed is reminiscent of the spirit of Xena: Warrior Princess. Lucy Lawless’ Xena has become an icon for good reason: the show has influenced so many of the fantasy series that have come after. Xena sets off on a quest to atone for her sins. Xena: Warrior Princess is full of spectacular locations, great character dynamics (hello, Xena and Gabrielle!), and awesome fight sequences.

Xena really has spread her influence.

Seeing how the shows now considered a cult classic I'm sure it has Tim.

Xena's obviously up there with Buffy in terms of life action female empowered women in the '90s other than the Halliwell sisters who teenaged and young adults looked up to then.

Charmed never got out of Buffy's shadow.

Xena, however, stood on its own.

[Jean]

Very good. It has a big following.

When you think of the 90s it's Charmed, Buffy, Xena and maybe Scully from the X-Files as popular cult female shows and characters. I'm probaly missing more but those stand out.

[Tim]

I think that's pretty much all of them.

[Sunday]

Jean you nailed them all here I think.

[Dark Avenger]

You nailed it, all those are the shows I watched.

[Trinity]

Me too.

Of course, I can think of a few more
