The article discusses the initial boom of fantasy series on streaming platforms following the success of shows like Game of Thrones. As studios sought to capitalize on the genre's popularity, they invested heavily in known IPs, hoping to secure hits that would attract viewers. However, as of 2025, this frenetic chase for subscribers has transformed, with platforms now focusing more on sustainable content strategies and cutting projects that don't align with these new priorities, marking a major shift in the industry.

2025 marks the end of the fantasy gold rush, with platforms no longer willing to greenlight every project, emphasizing the need for strategic growth over subscriber inflation.
