From old school staples like Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the newest addition Wednesday, shows in this genre continue to grow. The TV landscape is filling up with vampires, wolves, and witches like never before — many of these monsters being teens. Whether fans of these shows are adults or teens themselves, they enjoy watching these TV teenagers struggle through a confusing and supernatural world. Audiences want to see how a teen wolf is going to handle going to school while also dealing with the effects of a full moon.

Sometimes, this genre can become cheesy and end up becoming a guilty pleasure for some fans. Other times, these shows are genuinely written well and can be one of the most well-made shows on TV. Hemlock Grove is a well-written story that deserves a binge-worthy status, and The Vampire Diaries may lack depth, but makes up for it in drama. Supernatural teen series are meant for audiences with a wide array of tastes and shouldn’t be ignored so quickly. Here are the best supernatural teen drama series ranked.

10 Nancy Drew

This version of Nancy Drew doesn't investigate the usual cases audiences are used to. Nancy also doesn't fight vampires, witches, or werewolves. However, Nancy Drew makes it on this list as our favorite teen detective takes on the paranormal. In the small coastal town of Horseshoe Bay, the Drew Crew, which is made up of George Fan, Bess Marvin, Nick Nickerson, and Ace, work together to solve the mysteries threatening them as well as the town. Us Weekly says Nancy Drew takes many risks in creative and dramatic swings, which seems to work for the Drew Crew.

9 The Vampire Diaries

Vampires filled TV screens in the late-2000s, and audiences can thank the likes of Twilight and The Vampire Diaries for that. From the beginning, The Vampire Diaries is a show about a love triangle between a teenage girl and two vampire brothers. Premiering in 2009, this show aired alongside Pretty Little Liars and Teen Wolf. The vampire show built a world filled with classic supernatural creatures and even added a few of its own. The Vampire Diaries takes the 2000s new-found interest in vampires and love triangles and runs with it so that this genre can go on for what seems like forever.

8 The Winchesters

The Winchesters is the prequel series to one of the longest-running supernatural shows that ever ran on television: Supernatural. The show is entertaining and contributing to the recent resurgence of teen supernatural series. Entertainment Weekly describes the legacy of the Winchesters as a heavy burden to bear. The prequel show does the original series justice as it tells the love story between John Winchester and Mary Campbell, who are the parents to fans' favorite brother hunting duo Sam and Dean. The Winchesters brings together a team of monster hunters that become a found family which can be seen in other shows of this genre.

7 Shadowhunters

This supernatural drama has one of the most loyal fans even after it ended in 2019. Shadowhunters is a Freeform series based on the popular book series by Cassandra Clare that dives into the idea that all legends are true. This coming-of-age show follows Clary Fray and her adventures into the Shadow World. Clary takes on Seelies (otherwise known as fairies), werewolves, vampires, demons, angels, and other Shadowhunters who wish her harm. Shadowhunters, the series, had a better response among the reader fan-base than the movie, which is one of the reasons the show continued for three seasons.

6 Wednesday

Wednesday is one of the newest shows that has entered the world of supernatural dramas, and has left a lasting impression on audiences. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Adams, who is to attend her first semester at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday gets immediately caught up in a murder mystery involving a monster that is running rampant throughout the town. She also has to deal with her own psychic abilities that seem to be emerging during her first semester. Wednesday is a fun show to watch with so many characters to fall in love with like her werewolf roommate.

5 The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Netflix brings Riverdale fans its dark twisted cousin, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (CAOS). This 2018 series offers a dramatic re-imagining of the '90s sitcom. Kiernan Shipka plays Sabrina Spellman and gives audiences a different kind of performance with her distinct and dark edges. CAOS delves into the world of witchcraft, and Sabrina's choice on whether to follow the dark lord or continue her human life. Sabrina and the gang pull fans into creepy adventures throughout its four seasons, and a supernatural show that needs to come back.

4 Stranger Things

Stranger Things follows a group of kids who battle supernatural events that plague the town of Hawkins. The show takes audiences back to the 80s as a group of four friends (Will Byers, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair) band together to play Dungeons and Dragons. However, things become real when Will goes missing and the search to find him becomes vital. Stranger Things builds on the story by introducing a government cover-up and a new world called the Upside Down. Teen Vogue details the season 5 release date and everything fans hope to get answers to after the season 4 cliffhangers.

3 Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The supernatural teen drama genre can give its gratitude to Buffy the Vampire Slayer for giving it the blueprint. Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in the 90s WB series as a teen who slays vampires. She may from time to time fall in love with a few vampires, but is still able to save the world with flair and wit. Buffy gives off Scooby-Doo and sleuthing teen vibes that paved the way for so many other shows in this genre. The show gave a baseline and will influence other series for years to come.

2 Supernatural

The supernatural genre cannot be talked about without mentioning the longest-running series in the genre: Supernatural. Brothers Sam and Dean take on the family business after their father goes missing. The boys, haunted by the murder of their mother by a demon, carry on where their father left off. They travel around the country in their '67 Chevy Impala going against every supernatural creature audiences can think of. Supernatural went on for 15 seasons and has its own prequel show now airing on the CW.

1 Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf was considered a scrappy show of its time, but is an important addition to the supernatural genre. The series created by Jeff Davis, which was inspired by the film of the same name, aired on MTV for six unforgettable seasons. From its witty dialogue to lovable characters to exotic supernatural monsters, Teen Wolf repeatedly exceeded expectations. It combines the highs and lows of teen dramas and then mixes it with a horror and rather dark form of storytelling. Dylan O'Brien played the most beloved character in the show and still gave fans the darkest character to date with Void Stiles.
