Shows that feel likeThe Order (2019–2020)

Out to avenge his mother's death, a college student pledges a secret order and lands in a war between werewolves and practitioners of dark magic.

If you loved The Order, the closest series we have are Locke & Key (2020), The Originals (2013) and Agatha All Along (2024). All three share The Order's twisty and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Devs (2020).
