Shows that feel likeCarrie (2026)

After her father's sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

If you loved Carrie, the closest series we have are Another (2012), WandaVision (2021) and Time (2021). All three share Carrie's contemplative and melancholy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lanterns (2026).
