The 10 best horror TV shows of 2025, ranked

What if the most embarrassing moment you’ve ever experienced helped you uncover an international criminal conspiracy? That’s the premise of the weirdest, if perhaps not the scariest, TV show of 2025. So as huge fans of Tim Robinson, we had to include his Lynchian HBO drama in our ranking of the best spooky shows this year. But sitting alongside The Chair Company are some modern horror classics. Two titans of the genre, Alien and It, got surprisingly great streaming spinoffs in 2025. Meanwhile, Netflix brought back both Stranger Things and Black Mirror to ensure scares for everyone, whether you fear dystopian technology of Lovecraftian monsters. Also, Marvel Zombies was surprisingly good!
