Shows that feel likeWednesday (2022–)

Smart, sarcastic and a little dead inside, Wednesday Addams investigates twisted mysteries while making new friends — and foes — at Nevermore Academy.

If you loved Wednesday, the closest series we have are Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018), The Good Place (2016) and I Am Not Okay with This (2020). All three share Wednesday's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

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