The 10 Best Shows To Watch if You Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ranked

10. "Orphan Black"
Sarah Manning witnesses a woman who looks just like her commit suicide. Curiosity piqued, she assumes the woman's identity, only to uncover a sprawling conspiracy of clones.

Various versions of Sarah exist, each with their own life and quirks. They're hunted by religious extremists and exploited by biotech companies. Genetic engineering, body autonomy, and dark scientific experiments form the pillars of this mind-bending story.

9. "Supernatural"
Two brothers, a '67 Chevy, and the open road. Sam and Dean Winchester are hunters, but not your regular game hunters—these guys are after supernatural entities. From demons to angels, to even Death himself, the brothers take them all on.

As each season unfurls, the stakes rise from a vengeful yellow-eyed demon to literally Lucifer and the Apocalypse. Let's not even get started on Purgatory, the Multiverse, and God having a twin sister (and also – that ending!).

8. "Grimm"
Detective Nick Burkhardt finds out he's a Grimm, a guardian who must keep the balance between humanity and mythological creatures. The good ol' "Once Upon a Time" tales? Yeah, they're actually cryptic warnings about these creatures.

Nick must reconcile his newfound responsibility with his existing job and relationships. He encounters everything from classic Germanic creatures to ones borrowed from worldwide folklore. We're talking Fuchsbau, Blutbaden, and Wendigos, each with their own cultural backdrop.

7. "True Blood"
Vampires are out of the coffin, and they want rights like everyone else. In a small Louisiana town, telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse finds herself drawn to vampire Bill Compton.

Sounds like a simple love story? Well, think again. It turns into an intricate web involving werewolves, witches, and fairy-blood lineage. One could say that it's a supernatural soap opera with a Southern twang.

6. "Penny Dreadful"
In the murky corners of Victorian London, literary characters are real and they intersect in ways you'd never imagine.

Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and figures from "Dracula" merge in a tapestry of horror and existential dread. Vanessa Ives, a woman grappling with a dark past, is our nexus point. Witches, demons, and werewolves hover around like moths to a flame.

5. "Sleepy Hollow"
Ichabod Crane wakes up 250 years in the future. Turns out, he was spelled into a sleep after beheading the Horseman of Death. But something went clearly wrong, cause the Horseman is also resurrected, and apocalypse is on the calendar.

Our Colonial hero and a modern-day police lieutenant, Abbie Mills, form the most time-disoriented team ever to tackle demonic threats, historical puzzles, and Biblical apocalypses. They confront not just the four Horsemen, but also Pandora and even a god from Sumerian mythology.

4. "Teen Wolf"
High school can be a jungle, or in this case, a forest. A forest where Scott McCall gets bitten by a werewolf and then has to navigate his new reality. It's not just about teenage angst; it's about avoiding hunters who'd like to mount your head on their wall. Throw in some banshees, kitsunes, and werecoyotes for added spice.

Season by season, the lore expands, complexities unfold, and Scott's tiny little problem of being a werewolf seems increasingly trivial compared to all the supernatural craziness in town.

3. "The 100"
Post-apocalyptic world. Earth's uninhabitable. Humanity's last remnants are orbiting the planet in a space colony. One hundred delinquent teens are sent to Earth to determine if it's livable again. That's "The 100" for you.

Sounds simple, but wait until the ground greets them with tribal warfare, mutated creatures, and AI-controlled enclaves. From there, it escalates to a cosmic road trip featuring mind-swapping and god-like beings. Let's just say, if Buffy had to deal with this, she'd need more than a wooden stake.

2. "Wynonna Earp"
Great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp. Now, there's a sentence to intrigue. Wynonna returns to her hometown, Purgatory, and she's the only one who can wield her ancestor's magical gun—Peacemaker. Her mission? Sending the resurrected outlaws of her family's past back to Hell.

The show offers demons, revenants, and even trips to other dimensions. This modern Western vibe mixes with dark fantasy, slapping you with plot twists and turns to keep that adrenaline pumping.

1. "Charmed" (1998-2006)
In San Francisco's midst, three sisters—Prue, Piper, and Phoebe—inherit a Victorian house and, along with it, magical powers. Ah, it's the stuff of 90s dreams. Each sister has a unique power: telekinesis, freezing time, and precognition. Together, they're the Charmed Ones, bound to fight against the forces of evil.

So, Wiccan rites and spell-casting? They've got that in spades. Demons, witches, and even Greek gods make up the villain roster.
