Shows that feel likeIt (1990)
If you loved It, the closest series we have are Another (2012), 13 Reasons Why (2017) and Carrie (2026). All three share It's twisty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Broadchurch (2013).

If It hit the spot, these will too

Classmates bound together against a death-dealing curse
The difference: Elegant anime dread — a tight 12 episodes with brutal gore

The same preoccupation in both: suicide
The difference: Trades the ideas of It for an angle of its own

Twisty and cerebral in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Both land stillness and melancholy at once
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than It does

Dreamlike mystery in both cases

Innocents in an old house where something patient waits
The difference: A gothic romance at its core — melancholy outweighs the scares

King's small-town Maine, where fear turns neighbors on each other
The difference: A shoddy one-season adaptation — the book's dread never arrives

Both lean on ideas more than on sci-fi & fantasy

Drama built on dream logic, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into action & adventure than It does

One thread runs through both: flashback

Twisty mystery, and it commits to that

An ancient malevolence entwined with the era's very human cruelties
The difference: Prestige-slick and adult — no childhood bond at its heart
