Shows that feel likeThis City Never Sleeps (2026–)

Macau, Asia's wealthiest hub, is a battleground for power and greed. The Lam brothers, co-CEOs of a hotel empire, feud fiercely. To crush his rival, one weds a vengeful prosecutor, forging a deadly alliance. In this twisted game, ambition is virtue—only the ruthless reign supreme.

If you loved This City Never Sleeps, the closest series we have are Planet Earth II (2016), The Chosen (2019) and Little House on the Prairie (1974). All three share This City Never Sleeps' contemplative and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018).
