Quick Summary
- Dead Boy Detectives: Teen ghosts solving supernatural mysteries with their clairvoyant friend

- The Haunting of Hill House: A chilling, emotional haunted house saga with critical acclaim
If you’re anything like me, you flew through Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 the moment it dropped on Netflix. After a long three-year wait, who could blame you? Jenna Ortega’s deliciously dark take on Wednesday Addams is just as sharp, spooky, and addictive as ever.
But now comes the hard part: the wait for Wednesday Season 2 Part 2, which doesn’t premiere until September 3. That’s several weeks without Nevermore Academy, gothic teen angst, and supernatural sleuthing.
The good news is that Netflix is packed with similar spooky series to tide you over. And they’re not just filler. Every title on this list has a Rotten Tomatoes score over 90 percent, meaning critics agree these shows are well worth your time.
Whether you’re into ghosts, psychics, aliens, or haunted houses, these four shows all share the strange, spooky, and smart spirit that makes Wednesday so binge-worthy.
#1 Dead Boy Detectives (RT Score: 92%)
- Episodes: 8
- Seasons: 1
- Cast: George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson
This hidden gem was part of Netflix’s supernatural lineup in 2024 but sadly fell victim to an early cancellation despite positive reviews. Still, Dead Boy Detectives is worth every minute of its single eight-episode run.
The show follows two teenage ghosts who’ve opted out of the afterlife to solve paranormal mysteries. Alongside their clairvoyant friend, they help spirits in need with a kind of ghostly private investigator flair.
It’s fun, quirky, and full of heart, making it a great pick for Wednesday fans craving more teen-focused supernatural adventures.
#2 Lockwood & Co. (RT Score: 94%)
- Episodes: 8
- Seasons: 1
- Cast: Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman, Ali Hadji-Heshmati
In an alternate version of modern Britain, ghosts are real and only kids can see them. Enter Lockwood & Co., a teen-run ghost-hunting agency with no adult supervision, high risks, and plenty of chilling thrills.
The cast, led by Bridgerton alum Ruby Stokes, brings energy and charm to a tightly written, action-packed first season. Though it won’t be returning for more episodes, the existing season is a satisfying watch with smart writing and stylish visuals.
It’s ghostly, mysterious, and just the right mix of creepy and cool.
#3 Dandadan (RT Score: 100%)
- Episodes: 24
- Seasons: 2
- Voice Cast (Japanese): Shion Wakayama, Natsuki Hanae, Mayumi Tanaka
Anime lovers and even those new to the genre shouldn’t skip Dandadan. With a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, this show is an imaginative ride through supernatural chaos.
The story follows two teenagers with otherworldly abilities who find themselves fighting aliens and yōkai (Japanese spirits) while uncovering a much bigger mystery. It’s fast-paced, beautifully animated, and wildly inventive.
Dandadan doesn’t just keep you entertained. It grabs you by the weird and refuses to let go.
#4 The Haunting of Hill House (RT Score: 93%)
- Episodes: 10
- Seasons: 1
- Cast: Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Victoria Pedretti
This one is for viewers who want their spooky with a side of serious emotional weight. The Haunting of Hill House, created by Mike Flanagan, is widely regarded as one of Netflix’s best original horror series and for good reason.
It tells the story of five siblings who grew up in a haunted house and must face their trauma years later when tragedy brings them back together. The show blends traditional haunted house horror with deeply human storytelling and powerful performances.
It’s scary, yes, but it’s also heartbreaking and haunting in the best way.
Final Thoughts
Waiting for more Wednesday episodes might feel like torture but these four shows offer plenty of eerie entertainment to keep the gothic vibes going.
Whether you prefer ghost-hunting kids, psychic sleuths, anime action, or haunted house drama, Netflix has something to satisfy your spooky cravings until September.
