Created by: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Stars: Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch, Lucy Davis, Chance Perdomo, Michelle Gomez Network:Netflix The Archie-adjacent teenage witch has had a bumpy ride, but Chilling Adventures still manages to scratch a very specific horror itch for fans of demonic magical metaphor.

- Riverdale. There's never too much to say about 'Riverdale. ' Riverdale is a fever dream I can’t wake up from. This CW show is (and I can’t emphasize this enough) loosely based on the Archie comics of the same name and takes the epic highs and lows of high school football to the next level.
- Outer Banks. The show that saved us all in 2020. I’m not lying when I say that the Outer Banks single-handedly saved me at the beginning of quarantine.
- Euphoria. This show touches on dark issues. I like to describe Euphoria as Degrassi on drugs. This dark teen drama show centers around Rue (Zendaya), a recovering drug addict who falls in love with her new transgender classmate Jules (Hunter Schafer).
- One Tree Hill. Every wild high school experience occurs in the show—including teen marriage. One Tree Hill is the pinnacle of 2000s teen dramas: basketball, half-brother rivalries, high school weddings, murders, stalkers, a budding music career.
