Shows that feel likeRiverdale (2017–2023)
If you loved Riverdale, the closest series we have are Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018), Agatha All Along (2024) and Better Call Saul (2015). Most of the picks below share Riverdale's twisty and darkly funny feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Locke & Key (2020).
If Riverdale hit the spot, these will too

An Archie Comics town remade as something much darker
The difference: Genuinely satanic, and it commits to the horror

The same two preoccupations: witch, and magic
The difference: Takes it somewhere less playful than Riverdale does

Both land romance and dark humor at once
The difference: Trades the twists of Riverdale for an angle of its own

Teenagers, a family secret and a town with a supernatural history
The difference: Fantasy-driven and gentler, with no soap

The same mix in both: twists, then play
The difference: Easier on the romance than Riverdale

Playful drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to comedy than Riverdale does

The same preoccupation in both: college


Both are built on the same subject: amateur detective

Glossy teens, dark secrets, and a body
The difference: Spanish class-war thriller, steamier


Drama with a pulse of twists, in both cases
