Shows that feel likeCharmed (1998–2006)

Three sisters (Prue, Piper and Phoebe) reunite and unlock their powers to become the Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches of all time, whose prophesied destiny is to protect innocent lives from evil beings such as demons and warlocks. Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve, while they attempt to maintain normal lives in modern day San Francisco.

If you loved Charmed, the closest series we have are Drake & Josh (2004), Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018) and Locke & Key (2020). Most of the picks below share Charmed's contemplative and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Carnivàle (2003).
