If you enjoy stories about small towns, teenagers, mysterious disappearances, supernatural phenomena, and secrets that were better left hidden, this list is for you.

These shows echo Stranger Things in different ways. Some follow kids and teenagers investigating strange events on their own, while others focus on parallel worlds, time travel, supernatural abilities, or mysterious forces. Some lean more into mystery and horror, while others bring more adventure, sci-fi, and family drama.
