10 Best Horror TV Shows Of 2024
The horror TV shows from the past year you HAVE to watch.
2024 has undeniably been one hell of a big year for horror movies, what with the likes of The Substance, Late Night with the Devil, I Saw the TV Glow, In A Violent Nature, Longlegs, and Strange Darling ranking among the year's buzziest titles. But small-screen horror has been no slouch itself, with the world of TV delivering some of the most well-crafted and unforgettable genre content of the past 12 months without you needing to leave your home to see it.
The current era of "peak TV" is basically an embarrassment of riches, with far more quality content than any single person can ever possibly watch, and in terms of the horror genre. the following shows are the 10 best recent ones you must check out.
From long-awaited adaptations of classic paperback horror to wholly original new stories, and the unexpected serialised continuation of a certain cult fave horror franchise, these shows all delivered the scares, the gore, the thrills, and the fun throughout 2024.
Whether one-off limited series or new shows with a roadmap for future seasons, these are the 2024 horror shows you absolutely need in your life...
10. Dead Boy Detectives
Neil Gaiman's Dead Boy Detectives is a devilishly entertaining supernatural detective series following a pair of ghosts (George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri) who decide to remain on Earth and run their own supernatural detective agency. Better yet, the show is set within the same continuity as Netflix's other splashy Gaiman adaptation, The Sandman. If that doesn't hook you, nothing will.
This is an expertly calibrated fusion of otherworldly detective fare and relationship drama, brought to life by its well-realised characters, pitch-perfect performances, and whip-smart dialogue as fans of Gaiman's have come to expect.
Charm just oozes off this thing, braced between genuinely dark, serious-minded themes and raucous humour, while also flying the flag loudly and proudly for LGBTQ+ representation. Despite critical and audience acclaim, however, Netflix infuriatingly cancelled Dead Boy Detectives after just a single eight-episode season. All the same, this lone volume of episodes is still well worth watching, whether you're a teen or old enough to be the parent of one.
