10 Best Shows To Watch if You Love ‘Charmed’

Charmed was the hit fantasy series that followed the lives of three sisters who discover they come from a long line of witches. Piper, Prue, and Phoebe Halliwell use their magic for good against the powerful forces of evil in what was one of the 90s most exciting series—but sadly, the adventures of the Halliwell sisters ended in 2006 after the budget for Charmed series eight was slashed. The supernatural show about three magical sisters brought a lot of comfort to fans as they witnessed the Halliwell sisters defeat demons, as well as tackle some tragic yet fitting storylines, such as Prue’s death in the Season 3 finale, which left fans grief-stricken yet consoled by a beautiful quote on life: “Life only has meaning specifically because there is an end. Death forces people to live.”

But fear not, the late nineties and early noughties were filled with fantastic shows similar to Charmed, such as Ghost Whisperer and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Those with a love of spooky and fantastical nostalgia can be spellbound by some great shows that are more recent, such as The Magicians and A Discovery of Witches. And it doesn’t stop there – there are plenty more supernatural shows for Charmed fans to sink their teeth into.

10 ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ (1997-2003)

Created by Joss Whedon

Buffy the Vampire Slayer first aired in 1997 and ran for seven seasons, so there are plenty of episodes for fans of supernatural entertainment to get into.

Just like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer follows an ordinary person with an extraordinary responsibility to keep humans safe from demons, vampires, and other dark unworldly creatures. It’s also a show for those who love the “chosen one” trope, and the struggles that come with being the person responsible for protecting humanity, wielding great power and keeping dark and evil forces at bay. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is considered one of the most remarkable series of all time, making it a must-watch for any kind of supernatural fan.

9 ‘Ghost Whisperer’ (2005-2010)

Created by John Gray

Melinda uses her powers to help ghosts cross over into the afterlife, making this a show that’s unsettling yet full of heart.

8 ‘True Blood’ (2008-2014)

And if that wasn’t enough of a burden – vampires from a neighboring town have just revealed their existence to the whole world.

True Blood is a fun, offbeat vampire drama that’s considered one of HBO’s sexiest shows, and is definitely darker than Charmed. But True Blood still has those popular tropes that make the supernatural genre so exciting to watch.True Blood debuted in 2008 and ran for seven seasons, but the show was adapted from The Southern Vampire Mysteries, which is a series of thirteen novels written by Charmaine Harris.

7 ‘Bewitched’ (1964-1972)

Created by Sol Saks

True Blood may be a bit too dark for some, therefore if Charmed fans are looking for something a little more lighthearted and quirky, then Bewitched could be the show fans of Charmed need to watch next. The delightful sitcom stars Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha, a young witch who meets an ordinary human man, and promises to hide her powers – but of course, she breaks her promises of being a normal non-magical housewife.

Bewitched aired in 1964 and ran for eight seasons, and was a fun show ahead of its time, full of charming and laugh-out-loud moments. People who haven’t seen Bewitched before need to watch “Sisters At Heart,” an episode written by a bunch of 10th graders from Thomas Jefferson High School!

6 ‘Agatha All Along’ (2024-)

Created by Jac Schaeffer

From the oldest recommendation to the latest, Agatha All Along is one of the best witch shows to watch and was recently released on Disney+ and has been an instant hit with Marvel fans. Agatha All Along is also a must-watch for WandaVision fans, since this fantastically strange show is set after Wanda’s story and follows Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) as she embarks on a quest to solve the mysteries behind Darkhold and to hopefully get her powers back.

Whilst Charmed is about sisters who discover powers and must use them for good, Agatha All Along puts a slight twist on this trope by taking Agatha’s powers away, adding another dilemma to the story and therefore upping the stakes, making Agatha All Along a highly thrilling and entertaining watch for those who love supernatural shows.
