6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
Starting our list of shows like Wednesday is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The supernatural drama series is set in the fictional Southern California town of Sunnydale. Buffy Summers, the main character, has been chosen by fate to be the newest “Vampire Slayer.” She must train and fulfill her duties to protect the world from various sinister forces before they do any damage.
5. Lockwood & Co. (2023)
Fifth on our list of shows like Wednesday is Lockwood & Co. Psychic abilities can be a huge help to overcome mysteries, and the main characters are taking one from Wednesday’s book to solve supernatural mysteries. In this fictional world based on the best-selling book series, ghosts are a serious threat, and it’s up to teenagers trained in ghost-hunting agencies to track them down and eliminate the threat.
4. Dead Boy Detectives (2024)
Next on our list of shows like Wednesday is Dead Boy Detectives. Following a similar vein to uncovering mysteries, the main characters in this Netflix series differ from Wednesday, as they are no longer alive. Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland died years ago and have joined forces in death to investigate and solve paranormal cases for their clients, both living and dead.
3. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020)
Rounding out the top three shows like Wednesday is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Wednesday notes that birthdays serve as a reminder that you’re “a year closer to death’s cold embrace.” However, for Sabrina Spellman, her 16th birthday comes with the choice of vowing allegiance to the Dark Lord or letting down her magical family. While Wednesday only goes to one school, Sabrina juggles two: small-town Baxter High and the Academy of the Unseen Arts.
2. The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Second on our list of shows like Wednesday is The Haunting of Hill House. Get ready for some serious ghosts and family drama in this series by Mike Flanagan. Each episode focuses on the Crain family, but in two different time periods. One is when the young family moves into the decaying mansion of Hill House, trying to renovate and resell it. The other is set 26 years later, as the adult siblings must confront what happened all those years ago, and how it continues to have a hold on them.
1. The Umbrella Academy (2019-2024)
Last but not least on our list of shows like Wednesday is The Umbrella Academy. While Morticia and Gomez Addams mean well for Wednesday, she often despises their presence. It’s very much the same feeling for the adopted siblings of billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who turned the seven superhero children into a crime-fighting team. However, as adults, they are estranged. They are pulled together once again for their father’s funeral, oh, and a global apocalypse.
