I think superhero and Star Wars movies have eclipsed the fantasy genre for the last several years. It also doesn't help that for a multitude of quite valid reasons, the follow up Harry Potter series has gone over like a lead balloon.
Well, that and I think tht there is only so much thirst for very serious fantasy like LoTR or Wheel of Time or Game of Thrones or The Witcher, and there isn't a ton of more MCU but fantasy media in the mainstream right now.

You make a point that fantasy has had most of its heavy hitters on the small screen for a while now, and with House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power coming later this year, that's not likely to change.

It hasn't helped that the HP follow up movies haven't been very good. It's also kind of a weird historical urban fantasy niche.
 

Beyond just involving a bunch of problematic people, no, they just haven't been very good.

It's funny, years and years ago I remember thinking that Quidditch Through the Ages would've been the better source material. I don't know if that would've turned out to be the case, but it certainly couldn't have been worse.

The Witcher was highly ranked as well. I think there's plenty of appetite for fantasy, there just haven't been any good movies released lately that had broad appeal.
The feature length movie format sucks for novelistic High Fantasy, and the nearly ten hour Lord of the zrings trilogy sort of proves that. Lord of the Rings would make a great 6 season TV show, in my opinion.

The structure of LotR lends itself naturally to serialisation. Have you listened to the BBC radio version?

I didn’t say there was a shortage of appetite for fantasy, I said there is a limit to how much people want specifically serious fantasy, and something with a different tone (but not farcical) might get more attention right now.
