In 2014, Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement co-created the mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, a movie that debuted at Sundance. Five years later, Clement brought the story to TV and premiered the show on FX. The show takes a similar format to Modern Family. The TV show sees the wannabe aristocratic vampires living in Staten Island, New York. Along with the three regular vampires, there is also an energy vampire who pretty much just bores people to death, and Guillermo, Nandor's familiar....

Before Netflix released its fantasy series The Witcher, the franchise had already established popularity thanks to both a series of novels and video games based on the world. However, when it arrived in 2019, the fantasy franchise gained a lot more fans. Henry Cavill, who had already picked up a lot of fans playing Superman in Zack Snyder's DCEU, took on the role of Geralt of Rivia, a magically-enhanced monster hunter. The storyline also played around with time, bouncing between the past, pre...

Stranger Thingstook a great mix of horror television and fantasy action and created one of the most successful shows in Netflix history. The first season was popular thanks to it wearing its love for the 1980s on its sleeve, and this mix of Stephen King horror and Steven Spielberg fantasy, and it hasn't slowed down yet. The kids from the first season now play teenagers, as they still battle to protect the world from monsters, even when they end up living apart in Stranger Things fourth season...

Some people will recall the critical and commercial 2012 flop, Dark Shadows, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the titular vampire Barnabas Collins. When word got out that Burton and Depp would be reuniting after their live-action Alice in Wonderland, fans were expecting another hit. After all, Dark Shadows is based on a famed Gothic soap opera from the '60s, created by Dan Curtis and starring the likes of Joan Bennett and Grayson Hall. However, Burton's Dark Shadowswas anyth...

As the first prime time series to feature a coven of witches, Charmed excelled where virtually all other shows have failed. Perhaps that is due to the amalgamation of magic, sci-fi, fantasy, and comedy; all perked up with accurate pop-cultural timing. But, the popularity of Charmedcomes from its leading stars, who carried the series for eight seasons on The WB before concluding in 2006. Charmed starred Shannon Doherty (later replaced by Rose McGowan), Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano as t...

Showtime's hit British-American horror drama Penny Dreadful is more supernatural than it is fantasy. However, its use of public domain works such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Hydejustifies its inclusion. Starring the likes of Reeve Carney, Eva Green, Josh Hartnett, and Timothy Dalton, Penny Dreadful's exhibition of Gothic horror mysteries are truly captivating. The series doesn't rely on jump sc...

When a broadcast network airs a show on a Friday, fans usually interpret that as a warning of an impending cancelation or a lack of confidence. Rather than suffering from that suspected fate, NBC's Grimm - a modern-day police procedural fantasy drama, based on and inspired by the Grimm's Fairy Tales- excelled in its Friday slot. One aspect in which many shows tend to falter is increasing the stakes for its heroes (and the world) by compromising the personal story audiences were initially attr...

Like Dark Shadows, Bewitchedis another show that aired on ABC in the late '60s/early '70s which also went on to develop a cult following. The comedy starred Elizabeth Montgomery as witch Samantha Stephens, who marries a mortal man, is universally considered to be one of the greatest shows ever created. Bewitched finished its eight-season run and has since spawned numerous spinoffs and remakes, including a 2005 film starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell. Though the movie was a flop, Bewitche...

Forget about M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender movie. The animated TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender is far and away a masterpiece, the quintessential series in its genre. In addition to being critically and commercially successful, Avatarwas nominated for and won several Annie, Peabody, and Primetime Emmy Awards. Set in an Asian-influenced world where martial arts and elemental manipulation are complementary components, Avatar: The Last Airbender centers on twelve-year-old Aang and hi...

Starz's British-American fantasy show Outlander- based on Diana Gabaldon's series of historical, science-fiction, mystery, fantasy time-traveling novels and short stories of the same name - has proven time and time again that it is one of the most imaginative and daring shows on television. Beginning in World War II, the pilot episode quickly transports the series' protagonist, married nurse Claire Randall, back in time to 1743, where she meets her husband Frank's evil ancestor, Jonathan Rand...

- Alchemy of Souls (2022) Body swapping has been a great supernatural element that causes all kinds of chaos and conflict, which we've seen in Secret Garden and Room No. 9.
- Hellbound (2021) Hellbound is a violent story about people who are suddenly subjected to the appearance of "angels," which arrive without warning and announce how much time they have left before they die.
- While You Were Sleeping (2017) While the aforementioned Signal incorporates the supernatural into the crime drama genre, While You Were Sleeping blends the supernatural into the legal drama genre—plus a healthy injection of romance.
- My Love From the Star (2013) While aliens lean more toward sci-fi than supernatural, I still think My Love From the Star is worth including on this list because Do Min-Joon (played by Kim Soo-Hyun) feels more like a hero with supernatural abilities than simply an extraterrestrial being.
