Shows that feel likeAmerican Horror Stories (2021–2024)

An anthology series of stand alone episodes delving into horror myths, legends and lore.

If you loved American Horror Stories, the closest series we have are Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022), The Terror (2018) and Swamp Thing (2019). All three share American Horror Stories' contemplative and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Agatha All Along (2024).
