From post-apocalyptic to pirate adventures!

Fantasy is a genre that appeals to all generations, thanks to its magical and somewhat escapist atmosphere. However, not every fantasy movie or series is suitable for showing to a child, let alone watching with the whole family.

Luckily, the Netflix library comes to the rescue, ready to satisfy any request. Here are seven great family-friendly fantasy shows that will be available on the streaming service in January 2024.

Kids should definitely not be allowed to watch The Witcher or Game of Thrones, and that's where The Letter for the King comes in, which is much more geared toward kids and teens.

During the trials for novice knights, Tiuri meets a dying Black Knight who charges the young man with delivering an important letter to the King himself.
