Shows that feel likeHellbound (2021–2024)

Unearthly beings deliver bloody condemnations, sending individuals to hell and giving rise to a religious group founded on the idea of divine justice.

If you loved Hellbound, the closest series we have are Archive 81 (2022), Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022) and The Exorcist (2016). All three share Hellbound'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 A Discovery of Witches (2018).
