Shows that feel likeStar vs. the Forces of Evil (2015–2019)

Intergalactic warrior Star Butterfly arrives on Earth to live with the Diaz family. She continues to battle villains throughout the universe and high school, mainly to protect her extremely powerful wand, an object that still confuses her.

If you loved Star vs. the Forces of Evil, the closest series we have are The Owl House (2020), KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! (2016) and Disenchantment (2018). All three share Star vs. the Forces of Evil's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is DreamWorks Dragons (2012).
