3 Shows I Watch While Waiting for the 'Wednesday' Finale
These series share a similar vibe.
The new season of Wednesday has us knee-deep in mysteries again, but the final episode doesn’t land until September 3. To bridge the gap, here are three picks with eerie energy, offbeat teens, and the occasional very strange school.
Riverdale (2017–2023)
Starts as a moody small-town whodunit and quickly mutates into cults, rituals, and time-bending twists. By the later seasons, some characters even unlock powers — chaotic, messy, and weird in a way I can’t look away from.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018–2020)
By day she’s a student; by night a witch-in-training at a secret academy. Expect sinister rites, prophecies, and monsters — teen drama fused with occult horror. Like Wednesday, Sabrina lives with one foot in each world, and that tension hooked me.
The Umbrella Academy (2019–2024)
A dysfunctional family of superpowered adoptees reunites after their mentor’s mysterious death to prevent the apocalypse. Their gifts are blessings and curses, fueling both the action and the drama — I love the 'beautifully broken' team vibe that Wednesday fans will recognize.
