The Royals
An invented British royal family behaving badly, on a channel that had spent a decade filming real ones.
One opening sequence is catalogued for The Royals, covering season 1.
It arrived on E! in 2015, when Keeping Up with the Kardashians was also on the network.

Season 1
No clean upload of an opening is listed here. The one that was turned out to be a student motion graphics project, and the description here had been written from it.

2 sequencesEuphoria
No opening sequence as such. Each episode runs a cold open, often one character's history told in narration, and only then cuts to the title card.
- Season 1
- Season 2
1 sequenceThe Boys
Superhero iconography rendered as corporate branding and then defaced — the show's whole argument, done in graphics.
- Season 1
1 sequenceThe Night Manager
Le Carré's arms dealer and the hotelier sent in after him, opened by weapons assembling out of luxury.
- Season 2
2 sequencesGame of Thrones
A map that rebuilds itself each week. The clockwork cities shown change with the locations the episode visits, which makes it the rare title sequence carrying actual information.

- Season 8
1 sequenceYellowstone
Montana filmed as a land claim — cattle, mountains and fence line, with the ranch's brand doing the title card.
- Season 1
3 sequencesThe Witcher
No sequence in the usual sense. Each episode opens on its own sigil, drawn together out of liquid silver and shards over black, with the theme beneath it.
