Shows that feel likeLegacies (2018–2022)
If you loved Legacies, the closest series we have are The Vampire Diaries (2009), The Originals (2013) and A Discovery of Witches (2018). All three share Legacies' cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Home Improvement (1991).
If Legacies hit the spot, these will too

The same universe and the same tangle of teen romance and supernatural rules
The difference: Moodier and more romance-driven, with a far higher body count

Mikaelson family mythology carried forward, blood debts and all
The difference: Adult, operatic and grim — a war for a city, not school-year problems

Supernatural bloodlines, forbidden pairings and rules older than anyone alive
The difference: Adults and academia — no school year, no homework

An ensemble of oddballs held together by one exasperated leader
The difference: A workplace comedy — no magic, and vastly funnier

An old evil spreading while the people who understand it are ignored
The difference: Straight horror thriller, no school and no charm

Common ground: joyful
The difference: Easier on the ideas than Legacies

A secret institution where students learn magic and fight monsters
The difference: Grimier and nastier, aimed squarely at adults

Young people trained to hunt demons while sorting out their own hearts
The difference: Higher gloss and more romance, no boarding school

A teen growing into inherited power without ever losing the sense of fun
The difference: Kids' action cartoon — no boarding-school soap, no love triangles

A closed institution where the inmates become each other's family
The difference: A Spanish crime thriller, and entirely real-world

A hidden nonhuman species passing among us, with trust as the real question
The difference: Cold adult conspiracy thriller — no coming-of-age, no found family

A teenage witch split between school and a supernatural inheritance
The difference: Genuinely dark and satanic, with none of the sweetness
