1. The X-Files

This supernatural western show is about the Earp heir who must take down demons to end the family’s curse using a gun named Peacemaker. 

Wynonna Earp is a quirky, super-empowering, and wickedly hilarious show that has a top-notch diverse cast to boot. Melanie “Girl-On-Top” Scrofano has nailed her strong female lead character, but behind the scenes the true hero is Emily Andras as the trailblazer showrunner.

This dramatic supernatural comedy focuses on secret service agents as they retrieve supernatural objects and place them for safekeeping at a secret government warehouse.

Warehouse 13 has the lovable duo of Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly, which made it easy for audiences to tune in every week. However, it was the history component mixed with fun quirks that made them add it to their favorites collection.

4. The Walking Dead

This supernatural horror is all about zombies, and it is arguably the best one to date.

Based on the comic book series, The Walking Dead is a gritty drama centers around a group of unlikely friends that fight to survive in a dangerous world full of zombies and other survivors.

Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, and Melissa McBride are the three complex and heartbroken characters who have led the ensemble, while Lauren Cohan and Danai Gurira have been heartfelt additions.

5. The Vampire Diaries

This teen-centric supernatural soap opera is the perfect definition of why genre shows do so well.

From vampires, to witches, to werewolves, The Vampire Diaries had an endless supply of possibilities of mythical creatures across its reign. The series itself had some ups and downs, but it’s overarching themes of life, friendships, strength, and love that the ensemble cast portrayed beautifully had an impact on its audience.

6. The Twilight Zone

The original supernatural TV show has become a timeless fan favorite.

The Twilight Zone’s surprise twist endings and morality narratives continue to captivate and delight its audience, even decades after the finale. Over the course of the series, many great actors were featured such as Robert Redford, William Shatner, and Burt Reynolds.

7. True Blood

This guilty-pleasure supernatural show led a wave of vampire-focused stories in entertainment.

True Blood revolved around southern belle Sookie Stackhouse during a time that vampires were a part of everyday society. Unfortunately, the show ended up losing its bite about halfway through, but there are still fans who are loyal to this sexually-charged dark fantasy.

Must-watch episode of the series: True Blood Season 2 Episode 6, “Hard-Hearted Hannah”

8. Teen Wolf

This dynamic heartfelt teen supernatural drama surprised us all by becoming one of our favorite TV shows over the past six years. Teen Wolf is about how one high school student’s life drastically changed after turning into a werewolf.

The show has a great collection of various monsters and bad guys, but the focus centered around the appeal of its endearing characters. Most noteworthy is the friendship between Scott and Stiles (Sciles), and the real-life bromance between stars Tyler Posey and Dylan O’Brien.

Must-watch episode of the series: Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 18, “Riddled”

9. Supernatural

We couldn’t have a list of best supernatural TV shows without one whose premise is all about hunting down demons, ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural beings!

Supernatural has an untouchable narrative that allows for some amazing (and not so amazing) paranormal storylines. Misha Collins has made an excellent addition since Season 4, but it all comes down to the brotherly bond that Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles share both on and off screen.

Must-watch episode of the series thus far: Supernatural Season 6 Episode 22, “The Man Who knew Too Much” 

10. The Originals

This popular supernatural drama is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, and some controversially think it is the better show.

The Originals is centered around anti-hero Klaus and his family as they return to New Orleans and their involvement with supernatural politics. Thankfully it’s not held down by the high school angle or complicated doppelgängers storylines that proved troublesome for The Vampire Diaries.

Must-watch episode of the series thus far: The Originals Season 1 Episode 22, “From a Cradle to a Grave”
