Top 10 Best Supernatural TV Shows of All Time

Some shows just can't stay dead. They claw their way back into your memory years after you've seen them, like a revenant with unfinished business.

This list is all about those series that take the normal rules of reality, rip them to shreds, and summon something way more entertaining in their place. Monsters, magic, shapeshifters, grim reapers, curses, prophecies, and an impressive number of trench coats.

Maybe you're loyal to a demon-hunting saga that lasted longer than most actual friendships. Or maybe you're partial to shows where every full moon is a scheduling nightmare. Whatever you love, vote for the shows that still haunt your thoughts.

The Top Ten

  1. Supernatural

    This haunting series follows the thrilling and terrifying journeys of Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who travel across America to battle supernatural forces. After their mother was killed by a demonic entity, their father raised them to become hunters of mysterious and deadly creatures.... read more

    I've always been a huge fan of horror and anything otherworldly. I've watched various supernatural shows, and honestly, Supernatural is what caught my attention the most. It's a show about two brothers trying to save the world, who also have a rather toxic relationship. They will do whatever possible to keep the other alive, even if it means dying themselves and lying to the other.

    The variety of creatures and monsters on the show and how to defeat them is very refreshing. The inclusion of actual religious deities and such adds to the uniqueness. It's such a wonderful show, and I can't imagine another show quite like it.

  2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American television series created by Joss Whedon under his production tag, Mutant Enemy Productions. Later co-executive producers included Jane Espenson, David Fury, David Greenwalt, Doug Petrie, Marti Noxon, and David Solomon. The series premiered on March 10, 1997, on... read more

    Buffy is such an epic TV show! Everyone can find something to love about it, whether it's the action-packed, cool fighting scenes, the beautiful romance stories, the solid friendships between the characters, the character developments, the villains, or the creative and complex plots in each episode.

    It's enjoyable from start to finish, from the first season to the seventh and last season. It starts off very cheesy and silly in season one. However, seasons 2 and 3 are the best seasons of the series. Season 4 is good. It has some silly season 1 vibes but holds up. Season 5 is pure genius, and seasons 6 and 7 are great.

    This series is particularly great for teens (13+) and mature tweens (10-12+). Adults who like supernatural shows can enjoy it a lot as well. Go watch it now! It's on Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+, and YouTube.

  3. The X-Files

    The X-Files is an American science fiction drama television series created by Chris Carter. The original series aired on the Fox network from September 10, 1993, to May 19, 2002. It was later revived for two additional seasons in 2016 and 2018 and also inspired two theatrical films.

    Although it wasn't my favorite show, I have to give it a bit of respect because it paved the way for a lot of the great shows that we see now.

  4. The Twilight Zone

    The Twilight Zone is an American anthology television series created and presented by Rod Serling. It aired for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964. Each episode tells a self-contained story where characters encounter strange or unsettling events, often described as entering "the Twilight Zone."... read more

    It's an awesome show. Really old for a TV show, but awesome.

  5. Angel

    Angel is an American television series that aired from 1999 to 2004. It is a spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and follows the character Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul, as he seeks redemption. The series is set in Los Angeles and blends supernatural themes with crime-fighting storylines.

    Angel is the spin-off of Buffy, and it is just as great as its predecessor. However, it is darker and more mature, and the characters are more morally gray than on Buffy. This show has a cast of lovable characters and compelling mythology. It's very good, but you have to watch the first three seasons of Buffy before you start to watch Angel. Go watch it on Disney+ or Hulu.

    Angel is and will always be my favorite supernatural show. It had David Boreanaz, who is definitely eye candy from start to finish. The show was just amazing, and I always admired the warmth and maturity of Angel and the way the characters worked together.

  6. American Horror Story

    American Horror Story is an American anthology horror television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Each season operates as a self-contained miniseries. The series follows a different set of characters and settings in each season and features a storyline with its own beginning, middle,... read more

  7. Charmed

    Charmed is a television series that aired on The WB from 1998 to 2006. It follows three sisters who discover they are powerful witches destined to protect the world from evil forces. The show stars Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and later Rose McGowan.

    Charmed is my childhood. Right now, I am 14 and have been watching it since I was 6 years old. I've never stopped loving it. I've watched all the episodes over and over and never get tired of them. I know them all by heart and keep watching them.

    As a teenager, I also watch new shows like Once Upon a Time and The Vampire Diaries, which are awesome, but nothing can and will EVER beat Charmed. It's well-written, engaging, funny, and sad. You never know where it can lead you. It's, by far, the best show I have ever seen in my whole life, and that's never going to change. If I had to recommend ANY SHOW IN THE WORLD, I would definitely choose Charmed!

  8. The Vampire Diaries

    The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural teen drama television series developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. It is based on the novel series by L. J. Smith and aired on The CW from September 10, 2009 to March 10, 2017. Spanning eight seasons and 171 episodes, the show gained a large fanbase... read more

    Best Supernatural TV show by far.

    So much better than Teen Wolf. I love everything about this show.

  9. Once Upon a Time

    This surely deserves more votes. It's a great show for all ages and has a breathtaking storyline that adds more and more fairy tales with each episode!

    I love it so much. An awesome spin on all the classic fairy tales.

    I am always wondering what fairy tale will be added next!

  10. Bewitched

    Bewitched is an American television sitcom that originally aired from 1964 to 1972. It starred Elizabeth Montgomery as a witch who marries a mortal man and tries to live a normal suburban life. The show became a classic and is remembered for its whimsical humor and magical themes.

It is loosely based on the 1985 film of the same name and stars Tyler Posey as Scott McCall, a teenager who is bitten by a werewolf.

    I've seen this series so many times. I have watched it over and over again.

    Teen Wolf and TVD are quite similar and perfect for every teenager to watch. I love them. 10/10.

    Best supernatural series for teenagers. Absolutely loved it.

It first aired on Disney Channel before moving to Disney XD, running from June 15, 2012, to February 15, 2016. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel in the fictional... read more

    It has a very unique style of supernatural, and also has humor and strong character relationships.

    It should be #1, with Supernatural coming in at a close second place.

    It's awesome. Gravity Falls is good.

  18. Fringe

  19. Shadowhunters

    An incredible story that is ahead of its time.

  20. Smallville

    Smallville is an American television series developed by writer-producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on the DC Comics character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The show aired from 2001 to 2011 and follows the young Clark Kent before he becomes Superman. It ran for ten seasons... read more

    Definitely Smallville. Whether you loved or hated everything they did with the show, what other show can say they have been on for 10 spectacular years, had a wonderful series finale, and ended on a good note? Not many shows make it to 5 years anymore, much less ten. The creativity and writing make this one of the best of its kind.

  21. Lucifer

  22. Witches of East End

  23. Constantine

  24. Haven

  25. Orphan Black

    It has amazing actors that draw you in. It's funny, suspenseful, thrilling, and has many unexpected twists.

  26. Heroes

    Heroes is an American science fiction television drama that aired from 2006 to 2010. Created by Tim Kring, the show centers on individuals who discover they have superhuman abilities and explores how these powers affect their lives. The series was initially a critical and commercial success, praised... read more

    While it may not have lasted half as long as the others on this list, it had some creativity that I've never seen on many shows. Most of the things they did on that show were completely original, and they always brought their A-game, no matter if it was the first season or the last.

  27. Ghost Whisperer

    The first 3 seasons were flawless, and I enjoyed seeing a show that surrounded ghosts instead of the normal demons/vampires storyline. It was refreshing and new. However, the whole Jim stuff mixed in with the kid who couldn't act his way out of a paper bag ended it for me and a lot of people.
