It's going to be a looong wait until GoT returns. This is for the LA Rotational Fellowship.

1. Borgia

Replace the GoT crown with Papal regalia and this is what you get. Borgia invests in giving you peek at the mystery behind the curtains: secret pacts, ruthlessness, and extortion, all in one man's fight to become Pope. Combined with an accurate historical perspective, you'll feel like you're watching real-life battles during the Renaissance. Not to mention, Samwell Tarly is in it. Need I say more?

2. Outlander

Casey Crafford

No. of Seasons: 3

In Outlander, there's no shortage of time travel, sex, and gore. A young nurse from World War II (Claire) gets sent back in time, where she must navigate the 18th century Scottish Highlands--all after being torn apart from her husband. Rather than being tied down to old-timey gender norms, Claire controls the storyline, and the passionate relationships that ensue.

3. The Tudors

Jonathan Hession

No. of Seasons: 4

Watch on: Netflix

King Henry VIII is the inspiration for this show, and producers explore the hypothetical backstory behind how and why he killed his wives, only to move onto new lovers and repeat the vicious cycle. Viewers will be conflicted between Jonathan Rhys Meyers devilishly handsome looks and his corrupted ways. Love scenes and power struggles galore.

4. The White Queen

The White Queen/BBC One

Three female protagonists take the lead in The White Queen, navigating a bloody journey during the War of the Roses. The feud between House of York and House of Lancaster entangles The Kingmaker's daughter in a plan to control the crown, and only grows more complex as characters forbidden from each other fall in love. You'll witness a dark and stormy side to England no one ever taught you about in history class.

5. The Last Kingdom

Des Willie/Carnival Film & Television

No. of Seasons: 2
