Shows that feel likeLovecraft Country (2020)

The anthology horror series follows 25-year-old Atticus Freeman, who joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America to find his missing father. They must survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.

If you loved Lovecraft Country, the closest series we have are Wayward Pines (2015), The Terror (2018) and Devs (2020). All three share Lovecraft Country'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 Lanterns (2026).
