5 Shows That Are Almost as Good as Netflix's Elite
These shows can give Elite a run for its money.
Since premiering in 2018, Netflix's Elite has proven to be one of the streaming giant's most consistent international shows, as its endearing mysteries and great character development have made it a must-watch for all fans of unusual teen dramas. But even if you're done binge-watching the show's seven seasons, that doesn't mean your Elite itch will go unscratched, as there are plenty of other great shows that share a similar vibe.
Here are 5 shows that are almost as good as Elite:
Outer Banks, 2020 – …
Netflix's hit mystery drama about a group of teenagers going on a treasure hunt is often compared to Elite, and for good reason. While Outer Banks focuses less on romance, this project will certainly help you get over your Elite withdrawal, as the mystery aspects of the show feel even better than those present in the Spanish show.
Yellowjackets, 2021 – …
Showtime's survival mystery drama took the world by storm in 2021, as the story of young girls who survive a plane crash in the middle of the wilderness proved an exciting backdrop for intrigue, backstabbing and good old-fashioned violence.
13 Reasons Why, 2017 – 2020
Just like Elite, 13 Reasons Why is set in a school, but this Netflix show is undoubtedly much darker than its Spanish counterpart, touching on some big issues while skillfully developing its characters. It's not an easy watch, but you won't regret the decision to binge it.
The Afterparty, 2022 – 2023

Even though Apple TV+ Mystery is about adults, the roots of their problems go back to their school days, which proved to be a great way to build the show. Two seasons were exceptionally well written and, like Elite, perfectly mixed funny moments with downright depressing ones.
Pretty Little Liars, 2010 – 2017
The show that started the whole high school mystery craze, Pretty Little Liars stayed consistent throughout its seven-year run, and the characters became so beloved that fans still demand to see them back for the revival show. Don't watch the abysmal reboot Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, though!
