If you haven't already joined the world of Supernatural, which shares the same intensity as The Vampire Diaries, you are undoubtedly missing out. In this TV show, the focus is on bringing down the supernatural elements to maintain peace. Yet, the aspect of brotherhood, along with multiple storylines interconnecting, which is the main feature of the Damon-Stefan-led TV show, is also a crucial feature of this series.

Two brothers, Dean and Sam, join hands to fight the supernatural powers that lurk in the shadows with the goal of finding their father. However, soon, their main mission gets diverted as they begin to face one challenge after another, causing them to clear their path from all the dangerous supernatural beings as they proceed towards their goal.


2) The Order

The Order can become your companion for a binge-watch session if the supernatural elements that are present in The Vampire Diaries are something that you find interesting. The breathtaking magic, the violent werewolves, and many other supernatural elements are the identifying factors in The Vampire Diaries.

These aspects are also the main focus of this TV show. The Order dives into the struggles Jack Morton faces after he comes across a secret society with secrets that completely change Jack’s life.

It cannot be denied that a significant aspect of the Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec-helmed TV show is the powerful witches. These witches, especially Bonnie, become significant in helping her supernatural friends navigate through dangers multiple times.

To dive deeper into the dark and magical world of the witches, Salem can be a great alternative to binge-watching this New Year. This series dives into the trouble the powerful Salem witch Mary faces when her past lover comes back to her, bringing complications along with him.

Just as The Vampire Diaries brings life to the epic love story between a vampire and a human being, this series also brings forth a similar tone. However, for Calliope and Juliette, things are not so easy. Both Juliette and Calliope come from opposing families, each with its own traditions.

As a young vampire, Juliette’s task is to make her first kill so that she is able to join her family’s legacy, while Calliope comes from a long line of hunters and needs to make her first kill to make a name for herself in her family. Though the aspect of love between a human and a vampire is the primary focus, the storyline of this series is completely different and extremely binge-worthy.


5) Interview with the Vampire
