If you love the eerie, mysterious world of ‘From,’ you already know how addictive a show can be when no one can escape and nothing makes sense yet. That trapped-town feeling, the creepy creatures lurking after dark, and the slow unraveling of impossible mysteries keep you glued to every episode.
Lucky for you, there are plenty of other shows that deliver the same chills and mind-bending suspense. Here are 15 TV shows that will scratch that same itch.
1. Twin Peaks
Before ‘From’ ever trapped anyone in a nightmarish town, Twin Peaks was already making small towns feel deeply unsettling. David Lynch’s groundbreaking series follows FBI Agent Dale Cooper as he investigates the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in a quirky, supernatural Washington town.
The show masterfully blends dark mystery with surreal horror and oddball humor. If you enjoy a story where the location itself feels alive and menacing, Twin Peaks is absolutely essential viewing.
2. Wayward Pines
Imagine waking up in a picture-perfect town you can never leave, where asking too many questions gets you killed. That is Wayward Pines in a nutshell, and it shares so much DNA with ‘From’ that fans often recommend it in the same breath.
Based on Blake Crouch’s novels, this sci-fi thriller stars Matt Dillon as a Secret Service agent who uncovers terrifying truths about the town’s true purpose. The paranoia builds slowly and brilliantly.
3. Dark
Few shows have ever constructed a mystery as layered and rewarding as Dark. This German-language Netflix thriller weaves together four generations of families in a small town where a mysterious cave system connects different points in time.
The complexity might seem intimidating at first, but the payoff is extraordinary. ‘From’ fans who love piecing together cryptic lore and feeling like every detail matters will find Dark absolutely irresistible. Keep a family tree handy.
4. Castle Rock
Stephen King’s fictional town of Castle Rock has haunted readers for decades, and this anthology series finally brings it to life on screen in spectacular, terrifying fashion. Each season pulls characters and references from King’s vast universe into one deeply unsettling location.
The town itself functions almost like a villain, twisting people’s fates and amplifying their darkest impulses. If ‘From’ made you feel like the town had a mind of its own, Castle Rock will feel very familiar.
5. Midnight Mass
Mike Flanagan is one of the best horror storytellers working today, and Midnight Mass might be his masterpiece. Set on a tiny, isolated island community, the show follows residents whose lives are upended when a charismatic young priest arrives with mysterious and terrifying gifts.
The slow-burn tension, deeply human characters, and shocking supernatural revelations mirror everything ‘From’ fans love. It rewards patience with some of the most emotionally devastating and genuinely frightening television ever made.
6. Lost
No list like this would be complete without Lost, the show that essentially invented the modern mythology-driven mystery drama. After Oceanic Flight 815 crashes on a remote island, survivors quickly realize their new home is far stranger and more dangerous than anything they imagined.
The island hides hatches, smoke monsters, and ancient secrets that beg endless questions. ‘From’ fans will recognize that same delicious frustration of wanting answers while loving the journey of not having them yet.
7. Silo
What happens when an entire civilization grows up believing they can never go outside? Silo answers that question with gripping intensity.
Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling novels, this Apple TV+ series follows residents of an underground bunker who begin questioning everything they have been told about the dangerous world above.
The slow unraveling of dangerous truths feels remarkably similar to ‘From.’ Rebecca Ferguson delivers a powerhouse performance as an engineer determined to expose the lies holding her community captive.
8. The Leftovers
Two percent of the world’s population vanishes without explanation, and nobody ever finds out why. That unanswered premise is the entire engine of The Leftovers, one of the most emotionally raw and psychologically complex dramas ever produced for television.
Rather than chasing answers, the show focuses on how people survive grief, loss, and uncertainty. ‘From’ fans who appreciate shows brave enough to sit with ambiguity rather than wrap everything up neatly will find this deeply rewarding and unforgettable.
9. Severance
Severance takes workplace dread to a whole new dimension. Employees at the mysterious Lumon Industries undergo a surgical procedure that completely separates their work memories from their personal ones, creating two distinct versions of each person with no knowledge of the other’s life.
The show is deeply unsettling, brilliantly acted, and packed with the kind of slow-burning conspiracy that ‘From’ fans thrive on. Season two raised the stakes even higher, cementing its place as must-watch television.
10. Yellowjackets
A girls’ high school soccer team crashes in the remote Canadian wilderness in 1996, and what happens next is something no rescue team ever fully uncovered. Yellowjackets tells the story across two timelines, jumping between the team’s harrowing survival ordeal and their adult lives decades later, still haunted by secrets.
The psychological tension, group dynamics under extreme pressure, and slow mythological buildup make it a natural recommendation for ‘From’ fans craving that same dread-soaked atmosphere.
11. Under the Dome
One ordinary morning, a small Maine town is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world by an enormous invisible dome that falls from the sky. Based on Stephen King’s massive novel, Under the Dome captures that same suffocating sense of entrapment that defines ‘From.’
Resources run low, tensions explode, and dark secrets about the dome’s origin slowly surface. It is not perfect television, but for fans who love that isolated, claustrophobic community-under-siege formula, it absolutely delivers.
12. The Mist
Stephen King’s terrifying novella gets a full series treatment, and it goes to some genuinely dark places. A thick, supernatural mist descends on a small Maine town, and the creatures lurking inside it are the stuff of nightmares.
But honestly, the humans trapped together might be even scarier.
The show explores how quickly society fractures under impossible stress. ‘From’ fans will recognize the same themes of community breakdown, desperate survival, and the creeping horror of not knowing what is out there.
13. Stranger Things
Few shows have captured mainstream audiences with supernatural small-town horror quite like Stranger Things. Set in the fictional Hawkins, Indiana during the 1980s, it follows a group of kids who encounter terrifying creatures from an alternate dimension called the Upside Down.
The blend of nostalgic coming-of-age warmth and genuine monster-fueled horror creates a unique tone that is hard to resist. ‘From’ fans who love a town with a dangerous otherworldly connection will feel right at home in Hawkins.
14. Widow’s Bay
Newer to the scene but already generating serious buzz among mystery and horror fans, Widow’s Bay is set on a remote island off the New England coast where locals believe their home carries an ancient curse. Strange disappearances and unsettling mythology keep the tension high throughout.
The trapped-location premise and slowly unraveling community secrets make it feel like a spiritual cousin to ‘From.’ For fans who love isolated settings where the land itself seems to work against the people living on it, this one hits hard.
15. Servant
Not every horror show needs monsters lurking in the dark. Servant, produced by M.
Night Shyamalan for Apple TV+, builds its dread entirely through atmosphere, performance, and the slow creep of wrongness inside a single Philadelphia townhouse.
A grieving couple hires a mysterious nanny for their reborn doll, and things get deeply strange fast. ‘From’ fans who appreciate psychological horror where answers feel perpetually out of reach will find Servant’s four-season run both maddening and completely addictive.
