Careful what you wish for. I believe it’s in the first book* of Wheel of Time that suddenly there's a group of "darkfriends"** (basically worshippers of the ultimate evil) who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they're from rural Georgia.
Even with Rosamund Pike doing a fantastic job reading the audio book, that was immersion breaking as fuck 😂
*Second book
** not all darkfriends, see reply below
the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you're not introduced to them until book2 and they're not uniformly darkfriends.

British Scottish Welsh (Irish is complicated)?
I have English being conflated with British but never the other way round.

guess they missed True Blood
Dwarves in the Dragon Age universe have an US-American accent.
Has nobody here seen The Wizard of Oz?
They made at least one "southern fantasy" show, it was called Man in the High Castle based on work by American fantasy writer Phillip K Dick.
