After 15 seasons, the Winchester brothers eventually put their boots away in 2020. With its blend of likable leads, a heavy emphasis on relationship building, catchy music, and continuously expanding mythos, Supernatural found enormous success.
Supernatural developed a devoted following throughout its 15-year run, which helped it overcome termination fears. By the time it was through, The W.B. and The C.W. had each ordered more than 300 hours of the program—several episodes for which many genre series might make a deal with the Devil.
There is plenty of fantastic supernatural television to watch for anyone who misses the Supernatural, whether they discover something brand-new on tv or travel in time to a classic.
Fortunately for us, there seem to be many otherworldly being shows ready to be viewed; it’s not just the Winchester brothers who are saving people and hunting creatures.
Even better, you can binge-watch many of them from beginning to end! This also offers many highly similar choices, including monsters of the week, angels, demons, and gods to appease anyone who misses Sam and Dean’s hunting expeditions.
21. The Vampire Diaries
- Director: Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson
- Writer:
- Cast: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder
- IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix, Prime Video
Many viewers may not know it, but The Vampire Diaries is based on a famous novel of the same name authored by L.J. Smith. The show started in 2009 during the peak of the Twilight mania and shocked everyone else by staying for eight seasons.
Upon first look, the program may appear to be the epicenter of eye-rolling (a teenage girl falls in love with an old vampire) but fear not—new plotlines keep popping up that will keep Supernatural fans interested. The two vampire brothers indeed took over the show.
Ghosts, hybrids, werewolves, witches—the whole nine yards! This show’s fandom is extreme.
24. American Gods
- Director: Bryan Fuller, Michael Green
- Writer:
- Cast: Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Yetide Badaki
- IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
The Starz show American Gods has much in common with the supernatural series, despite being shot in a far more ornate and vibrant style. His series, inspired by Neil Gaiman’s novel, centers on a man named Shadow Moon, who Odin takes in to carry out his will.
The belief that a conflict with the new gods of the universe is imminent causes Shadow encounters a wide variety of supernatural creatures, including Leprechauns and elder deities. Although there were three seasons of the Heavenly series, the first is the greatest if you want more supernatural action.
23. The X Files
- Director: Chris Carter
- Writer: David Duchovny, Chris Carter, Vince Gilligan
- Cast: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi
- IMDb Rating: 8.6/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 74%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
The X-Files would not exist sans Supernatural. In addition to saving Fox from such an early demise, the Fox drama popularised sci-fi television and expanded the definition of what a procedural could be.
Additionally, there’s actual shippin’ fuel between Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Agent Mulder for Supernatural fans who just could not stop shipping the main characters (David Duchovny).
X files check in at a remarkable nine seasons and 202 episodes, even though Supernatural has 15 seasons and 327 episodes.
Fox Mulder, a conspiracy theorist, and Dana Scully, a realistic, team up as FBI special agents to investigate and solve puzzling paranormal situations in X files.
22. Nancy Drew
- Director: Noga Landau, Stephanie Savage, Josh Schwartz
- Writer: David Duchovny, Chris Carter, Vince Gilligan
- Cast: Kennedy McMannLeah LewisMaddison Jaizani
- IMDb Rating: 6.4/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 63%
- Streaming Platform: The C.W.
The release of “Nancy Drew” on The C.W. couldn’t have come at a better moment for “Supernatural” viewers who were lamenting the end of their beloved program.
Like “Supernatural,” “Nancy Drew” depends just as much on the adopted families as on biological ones. However, the conversation format is so “Supernatural” that it almost stings. The show embraces a monster-of-the-week vibe, with season-long narratives hanging over each hour. Nevertheless, the ghosts’ atmosphere is what most strongly connects each presentation.
Fans of “Supernatural” who yearn for the first days of truly horrific ghosts and jump scares will find what they’re looking for in “Nancy Drew,” which also features similarly eerie special effects as this new show came out just when supernatural ended.
21. Person of Interest
- Director: Jonathan Nolan
- Writer:
- Cast: Jim Caviezel, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Chapman
- IMDb Rating: 8.5/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 92%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
Everyone had high expectations for “Person of Interest” because famous names like Jonathan Nolan, J.J. Abrams, and others were involved.
Both John Reese, a former Green Beret/CIA who has lost his love and is now living the hobo lifestyle in NYC, and wealthy software developer Harold Finch collaborated with the U.S. Government to build a highly sophisticated supercomputer using artificial intelligence to track upcoming terrorist operations and other violent crimes. The relationship between the two is just like Sam and Dean!
The foundation of the plot is a hack that Finch built into the device above, which would yield the Social Security number of a person of interest who is (about to be) directly or indirectly involved in criminal activity, either as a perpetrator or a victim. You should binge-watch this, as the development of each character took five seasons!
20. Once Upon A Time
- Director: Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis
- Writer:
- Cast: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla
- IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 78%
- Streaming Platform: Disney Plus
This show will draw viewers back into the fantasy world they long for with a flood of wacky characters, crazy storylines, and unexpected plot twists. Every character from a storybook you’ve ever read is trapped between two worlds in a town in Maine due to a potent curse.
Only one is aware of reality and has the power to undo the curse. Since she was left behind as a newborn, Emma Swan, a 28-year-old bail bonds collector, has been responsible for providing for herself.
Her situation changes when her long-abandoned son Henry comes across her and requests assistance, claiming she is from another world and is Snow White’s missing daughter. The relationship between the two is just like Sam and Dean!
19. Wynonna Earp
- Director: Paolo Barzman
- Writer: Emily Andras
- Cast: Melanie Scrofano, Tim Rozon, Dominique Provost-Chalkley
- IMDb Rating: 7.3/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 92%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
The Winchester brothers achieved terrific things for the family narrative on tv. With the tale of Wynonna Earp (Melanie Scrofano), in this fantasy show, the great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp who is tasked with driving demons from this terrestrial plane, and her younger sister Waverly Earp, a Syfy series that has become a cult favorite, it delves deeply into the relationship of sisters (Dominique Provost-Chalkley).
Like Sam and Dean, this duo will sacrifice for one another and send demons back to Hell. It’s a shockingly funny supernatural sitcom about familial ties and badassness that tackles issues of fate, just like Supernatural.
18. The Originals
- Director: Julie Plec
- Writer:
- Cast: Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Claire Holt
- IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
- Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video
In the spin-off series The Originals, the Mikaelson family is portrayed as they try to build a life for themselves in the city they helped to construct, New Orleans. Even though the show’s promotional images may improve, it is still worth watching on Netflix, especially for lovers of The Vampire Diaries.
The story revolves around a vampire-werewolf crossbreed and his family as they become involved in the paranormal politics of New Orleans. However, the two brothers are the most loved characters.
The C.W. show has received favorable reviews and accolades, which is understandable given its subject matter. Fans of Supernatural will be thrilled by the abundance of creatures this episode presents to them. This paranormal series is worth a watch.
17. Grimm
- Director: Stephen Carpenter; Jim Kouf; David Greenwalt
- Writer:
- Cast: David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell
- IMDb Rating: 7.8/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89%
- Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video
Grimm (NBC) is a police drama about a murder detective who learns he is a Grimm. It was inspired by the darkest side of Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
A “Grimm” is the most recent in a line of protectors sworn to maintain harmony between people and mythical beings known as Wesen. Watch as the investigator (and his partner) fight off dangerous mythical creatures who want to eradicate the entire globe and everyone in it.
The season has six seasons and is worth a watch. The early seasons are exciting. Any interest yet? Another great tv-series with evil mythological creatures is Grimm. It is almost better than the supernatural world.
16. Lucifer
- Director: Tom Kapinos
- Writer:
- Cast: Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro
- IMDb Rating: 8.1/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
The Devil that we saw in Supernatural was determined to end the world. In Lucifer, a judicial procedure in which the Devil assists on cases, we encounter a different kind of Devil- an attractive homicide detective. This show also features Biblical figures like God’s angels and, most recently, Cain, which allows for a fuller examination of the character as someone who rebels rather than the source of all Evil.
The Devil Lucifer Morningstar is followed in the show, inspired mainly by the D.C. comic book series The Sandman, as he leaves Hell, opens up his nightclub in Los Angeles, and consults with the LAPD. It has a perfect cult following and is worth watching because of its D.C. comics roots.
15. The Haunting of Hill House
- Director: Mike Flanagan
- Writer:
- Cast: Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas
- IMDb Rating: 8.6/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
When your children’s imaginary floating buddies are that frighteningly detailed, it’s time to flee like the dickens.
Any “Supernatural” fan will be enthralled by Netflix’s miniseries “The Haunting of Hill House,” which is the ideal fusion of family, trauma, and pure terror.
Like the Winchesters, the Crain family has seen more than its due proportion of personal tragedy, causing the formerly close siblings to grow apart.
To cope with their childhoods that were tinged with the uncanny and the ghosts that torment them, both external and psychologically, each member of the Crain family develops their vice.
The program is a melancholy character study on loss and the human psyche wrapped in a paranormal cap and tied with the ribbon of our shared family ties. This one has outstanding writing with a perfect amount of all the elements.
14. American Horror Story
- Director: Brad Falchuk, Ryan Murphy
- Writer:
- Cast: Sierra McCormick, Paris Jackson, Merrin Dungey
- IMDb Rating: 8/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
This drama has seven seasons and was initially intended to be many standalone miniseries. The stories, from freak shows and cults terrorizing neighborhoods to paranormal activities on a farm, follow fictional accounts that are occasionally loosely based on actual events. A well-made play that doesn’t always reflect its strengths but still manages to produce an enjoyable performance.
American Horror Story is an anthology series, as opposed to some of these other shows, and each season follows a unique cast of people and plotlines. The first season, for instance, is set in Los Angeles and centers on a family residing in a haunted mansion. In contrast, the eighth season, Apocalypse, focuses on witches and other supernatural beings.
13. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
- Director: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
- Writer:
- Cast: Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch, Lucy Davis
- IMDb Rating: 7.4/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
This “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” adaption is a sinister coming-of-age narrative that deals with supernatural and gothic themes.
In the rewritten origin narrative, Sabrina Spellman battles the dark forces that threaten her, her family, especially her aunts Hilda and Zelda, and the realm in which people live in the daylight as she tries to reconcile her dual nature as a half-mortal, half-witch.
The four seasons of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” follow Sabrina as she attends not one but two different high schools that are the human world and struggles with catastrophic issues, a witchy clique, an unexpected visit from Satan, and a clone of herself. Well, someone needs to carry on the family business.
Right? Kiernan Shipka, the outstanding lead actress, did her job well.
Even though the storyline may not be remarkably comparable to “Supernatural,” Sam and Dean would end up liking this witch even though he doesn’t have much sympathy for the Devil.
12. True Blood
- Director: Alan Ball
- Writer:
- Cast: Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell
- IMDb Rating: 7.9/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 69%
- Streaming Platform: HBO
Alan Ball is the American television drama series, True Blood creator and producer. It is inspired by Charlaine Harris’s book series The Southern Vampire Mysteries, which describes the coexistence of vampires and humans in the fictional small town of Bon Temps in northwestern Louisiana.
The series is focused on the exploits of telepathic server Sookie Stackhouse, who has an unearthly quality. Three sisters reconnect and unleash their abilities to become the Charmed Ones, the most potent good witches ever.
11. Teen Wolf
- Director: Jeff Davis
- Writer:
- Cast: Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Dylan O’Brien
- IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 81%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
A young boy, Scott, a social pariah, has to simultaneously manage his everyday life and the difficulties of being a werewolf. What about the Supernatural does this remind us of?
Dean was more of a social pariah than Sam, who have at least had his elite education to fall back on. Sam and Dean were both social misfits. The issues Scott faces are also faced by the brothers, who really are effectively drifters.
Additionally, the Winchester brothers and Scott occasionally join forces with other supernatural beings, which always keeps their individual shows fascinating. Teen Wolf also offers a useful glimpse into teenage life in a tiny community, in Beacon Hills, which further enhances the appeal of this program.
10.The Dresden Files
- Director: Hans Beimler, Robert Hewitt Wolfe
- Writer:
- Cast: Paul Blackthorne, Valerie Cruz, Terrence Mann
- IMDb Rating: 7.6/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 55%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
Although Sam and Dean frequently spend more time in the most exciting episodes of the season investigating reports of ghosts or other paranormal occurrences than hunting them, Supernatural is one type of television we don’t really talk about as a detective show.
There really is no doubt that Eric Kripke’s conception of the Supernatural was informed by Jim Butcher’s supernatural detective book series The Dresden Files.
It portrays police detective and magician Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne) as he assists Chicago police with paranormal investigations.
This is undoubtedly the show on the list that most closely resembles Supernatural.
9. Charmed
- Director: Constance M. Burge
- Writer:
- Cast: Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Brian Krause
- IMDb Rating: 7.1/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 81%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
Supernatural didn’t pioneer the spooky-meets-siblings genre; it shared more things with Charmed than just that. Between 1998 to 2006, The W.B. broadcast the adventures of the Halliwell sisters, which overlapped with the Winchesters’ debut season. From their base in San Francisco, those three witches employed the Power of the Three to shield innocent people. The program developed a cult following during its eight seasons.
Due to its overwhelming popularity, the C.W. decided to revive it in 2019, seamlessly tying in with the last seasons of Supernatural. The new show is preparing for its third season and has moved the siblings to Michigan.
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Director: Joss Whedon
- Writer:
- Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan
- IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
The Winchester family company specializes in murdering and monster hunting. Guess who else has a predetermined power to be in the same industry?
Exactly, Buffy Summers. Buffy’s life focuses on her job while simultaneously attempting to maintain a regular life, which makes her remarkably similar to Sam Winchester. She is selected by destiny to battle mysterious powers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This is one of the best shows like supernatural.
7. Angel
- Director: Joss Whedon, David Greenwalt
- Writer:
- Cast: David Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, Alexis Denisof
- IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
Angel, a Buffy spin-off character, is a vampire with his soul returned to him. He moved to Los Angeles and now works as an investigator. He is a disturbed man. He frequently has to battle arcane and mortal ills while struggling with inner suffering.
Fans of the Supernatural are strongly encouraged to watch this fascinating show, which explores the mind of a natural murderer and how he must reconcile his deeds with his restored humanity.
6. Shadowhunters
- Director: Ed Decter
- Writer:
- Cast: Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende
- IMDb Rating: 6.5/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 76%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
Teenager Clary Fray learns on her birthday that she is a combination of a human and an angel and that her job is to destroy demons. Like Grimm but lacking the police procedural aspect, Shadowhunters brilliantly examines character arcs as Fray battles equally literal and figurative monsters.
We’re confident that Fray will keep you hooked to the screen if Castiel catches your attention. This fantasy drama is impressive to watch. Supernatural fans will like this one.
5. Salem
- Director: Brannon Braga, Adam Simon
- Writer:
- Cast: Janet Montgomery, Shane West, Seth Gabel
- IMDb Rating: 7.1/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 82%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
While the community discovers a magical truth concealed behind the curtain of the infamous era in American history, John and Mary find themselves amid an epic romance. It was a drama series that focused on the Salem Witch Trials and acknowledged that there were actual witches present at the time as well as public hysteria.
Throughout the series, witches frequently appeared to Supernatural viewers. It also contained a lot of magic, primarily from angels and devils. Fans of Supernatural would know the plot in Salem when one of the witches desired to call upon the Devil himself, leading to several issues. Dive right into the witch world with this one!
4. Evil
- Director: Robert King; Michelle King
- Writer:
- Cast: Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi
- IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93%
- Streaming Platform: Paramount+
Fans of Supernatural will enjoy the 2019 CBS premiere of Evil, which borrows the same basic premise and gives it a nice little twist. It has a priest, a forensic psychologist, and a tech person attempting to determine whether or not alleged demon infestations are actual, as opposed to two demon-hunting brothers. This is one of the best shows like supernatural.
3. Reaper
- Director: Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas
- Writer:
- Cast: Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, Rick Gonzalez
- IMDb Rating: 7.8/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%
- Streaming Platform: Prime Video
Every season of Supernatural, they had a lot to adore. However, one of the things viewers loved the most was the sibling bond between Sam and Dean Winchester.
As a result, the spooky television series injected a lot of humor into the horrifying components. Reaper, a paranormal sitcom, might be the perfect substitute for fans of Supernatural who missed its sense of humor.
This series shows Lucifer trying to get to know his son better while preparing him to assume the role rather than torturing Sam and Dean. The paranormal phenomena are to be watched in the show.
2.The Walking Dead
- Director: Frank Darabont
- Writer: Frank Darabont
- Cast: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride
- IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 80%
- Streaming Platform: Netflix
The entire list does have something new to say about The Walking Dead. After watching this series, you will be prepared to have your socks (or heads, whichever comes first) blown off. This program is fantastic!
The Walking Dead follows the lives of a select group of fortunate people who strive daily to survive in a world overrun by rotting animals and is set in the aftermath of a zombie epidemic. Unless you’re lucky and can hack off the infected region before it spreads to your entire body, getting bitten by a walker almost always results in death. This fantasy show is practically supernatural.
1. Fringe
- Director: J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci
- Writer:
- Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble
- IMDb Rating: 8.4/10
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 90%
