Game of Thrones fans, get ready another fantasy TV show binge.

You'll soon be able to Netflix and quarantine while watching a new show called Cursed. As Glamour reports, it might even be epic enough to fill the GoT void that HBO left behind, while also conjuring up mystical vibes from must-see shows such as The Witcher. To make matters an even bigger binging deal, Katherine Langford, star of13 Reasons Why, will be the main protagonist. For Langford, this series and role is still very teenage heroine, but much more "Arthurian legend."

See Netflix's first look at the show below.

The Netflix promo bio describes the show as a "re-imagining of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a teenage heroine with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake." Sign us up.

And while comparisons to Game of Thrones seem promising, fans of the George R.R. Martin series know to take that with a grain of salt. Nearly every new fantasy project since the HBO show concluded has been dubbed "the new GoT" in some capacity, as we all know how badly we miss Westeros and the characters who came with it. Despite the divisive ending, I think we can all admit there's been something missing ever since the final credits rolled. Will Cursed be able to fill this spot in our hearts? We shouldn't get our hopes up too much, but it does look seriously awesome.

Luckily, the wait will be over soon enough to find out. Cursed will be available to stream this summer on Netflix.
