TV Shows for Fans of "Riverdale"

Last updated: April 13, 2026

Riverdale has it all: drama, intrigue, teen angst, and a murder mystery, with characters based on the classic Archie comics. But there's not a lot of similarity between the lighthearted comics and the CW's dark, edgy show that has teens obsessed. Whether they're watching on TV or streaming on Netflix, they can't get enough of the gritty mystery, the dark humor, and, of course, the love triangle between Archie, Betty, and Veronica. That's why we've come up with this list of supernatural mysteries and teen dramas for teens who just can't wait until the next episode. Parents should also keep in mind that, like Riverdale, many of these shows deal with violence and sex, so consider watching with your teen and talking about media messages.
