Shows that feel likeKingdom (2019–2020)

In this zombie thriller set in Korea's medieval Joseon dynasty which has been defeated by corruption and famine, a mysterious rumor of the king’s death spreads, as does a strange plague that renders the infected immune to death and hungry for flesh. The crown prince, fallen victim to a conspiracy, sets out on a journey to unveil the evil scheme and save his people.

If you loved Kingdom, the closest series we have are The Fall of the House of Usher (2023), Midnight Mass (2021) and The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020). All three share Kingdom'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 Swamp Thing (2019).
