    School Spirits

    Why this fits: If you liked Wednesday’s high-school mystery wrapped in supernatural dread and dry humor, School Spirits delivers a similarly teenage-centered investigation where grief and identity drive the clues.

    Girl from Nowhere

    IMDb 7.6

    Why this fits: For the same sharp, unsettling vibe as Wednesday—where a supernatural presence exposes hypocrisy in a school setting—Girl from Nowhere turns each episode into a cold moral trap with a sardonic edge.

  3. The Witcher poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Oct 30, 2025

    The Witcher
