Prime Video is the home of many exciting genre TV shows, but there is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy masterpiece that rises above other projects due to how there is nothing else like it, and the show just keeps getting better years later. At the moment, another genre project, the popular Sci-Fi series Fallout, is the talk of the town at Prime Video.
As for Fantasy TV shows, the year will soon heat up with Game of Thrones' new spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, later this month. Browsing Prime Video, I was reminded of the perfect series for fans of the two genres, as it brilliantly unites them in an anthology that speaks to those interested in a specific medium like no other show has.
Prime Video's Anthology Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series Is A Masterpiece For One Reason
In Hollywood, there has been such a thing as a video game curse. Over the years, many video game adaptations failed, such as Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. However, the tide has begun to change recently, with shows like The Last of Us and Fallout pushing for more high-quality video game adaptations.
Those looking for projects in that same line should consider checking out Prime Video's Secret Level. The series was created by Deadpool director Tim Miller. Like his popular animated anthology series Love Death + Robots on Netflix, Secret Level spends each episode in a different world and art style. However, the show has a different focus: video games.
Secret Level season 1 explored many exciting franchises, with stories and characters from games like Mega Man, Warhammer 40,000, PAC-MAN, Sifu, and many more. Each episode feels like a breath of fresh air, expanding on characters and concepts from several games, including thrilling Sci-Fi and Fantasy stories. Secret Level was Prime Video's most-watched animated show debut of all time.
How Secret Level Keeps Getting Better
After the show's success when it premiered its 15-episode first season back in 2024, we are still waiting for Secret Level season 2, which has been announced, two years later. That is not a problem, as animation takes time, and Miller's Love Death + Robots has had two to three-year breaks in the past. Additionally, the show's potential has only grown since its release.

Secret Level’s 15 episodes provide an intriguing animated insight into their video game counterparts, yet some are more effective than others.
There are two factors that make Secret Level only get better with time. Now that season 1 was a hit, Prime Video could be more successful in getting the rights to major video game franchises. The other element is that several fan-favorite games with immersive worlds have been released since the show premiered.
Secret Level is a TV show that could go on indefinitely, as the gaming industry will always have more to offer it. For instance, an episode based on the recent superhero hit game Dispatch would fit right in at Prime Video, the home of the similarly themed Invincible. As such, the possibilities are endless, as the years since Secret Level's release have shown that the sky is the limit.
