* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': In early Season 1, Daemon Targaryen claims that he's going to take Mysaria as a second wife (after Rhea Royce, whom he loathes and who's still alive) "in the tradition of Old Valyria", much like Aegon the Conqueror, who was married to both his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya. The exoticness is intentional, {{Invoked|Trope}}, since polygyny is now forbidden in Westeros and Daemon's decision to become a polygamist is a stunt entirely for attention.

* The Nietzscheans of ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'', a genetically engineered HumanSubspecies who believe in [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinism]], practice polygyny. A male can marry as many females as his displays of genetic fitness attract; alpha males often have ten or more (despite this, it is actually the females who are in control and matriarchs preside over the approval of genetic matches in their pride).

The whole "half-sibling marrying" is also political to ensure there are no rivalries with an imperial house.

* In ''VideoGame/PathfinderKingmaker'' you can romance both Octavia and Regongar. In the end, since you're the King or Queen, you can marry them both. Linzi, your biographer, is very impressed. Though some of the characters are...less approving.
