Fans of the cult project will definitely appreciate it.
Twin Peaks is not just a series; it’s an entire atmosphere you want to return to. But what to do when David Lynch's cult drama has already been watched from start to finish? Luckily, there are other projects that evoke similar emotions – here are 8 series you won’t be able to stop watching.
Dark (2017–2020)
Forget the classic detective story – this show is more like an endless labyrinth. A small town, the mysterious disappearance of children, and then a series of events that draw the viewer deeper into a frightening world of secrets, intertwined fates, and alternate realities. If Twin Peaks hooked you with its complex twists, this series will keep you just as captivated.
Wayward Pines (2015–2016)
The plot begins with an FBI agent arriving in a small town to investigate the disappearance of colleagues. Things don’t go as planned – the locals act strangely, and the town seems stuck in time. The deeper the hero dives into the town’s secrets, the more he realizes there’s no way out.
Sharp Objects (2018)
The heroine returns to her hometown to write an article about a series of murders. But instead of answers, she’s met with a suffocating cocktail of family drama, past memories, and new mysteries. The town has its own creepy life, and the investigation quickly turns personal.
The Outsider (2020)
The murder of a young boy in a small town shocks the residents. All evidence points to one man, but the deeper the investigation goes, the clearer it becomes that reality is not so straightforward. Stephen King adds a touch of the supernatural horror, creating something truly unique.
Lost (2004–2010)
A plane crash leaves a group of survivors stranded on a mysterious island full of puzzles. The longer they stay, the more they realize this is no coincidence. The creators were inspired by Twin Peaks, and you can definitely feel that influence.
Hemlock Grove (2013–2015)
A town where people are killed by unknown creatures, and the locals hide dark secrets. It’s like Twin Peaks mixed with vampire and werewolf films – eerie, atmospheric, and yet strangely captivating.
Fortitude (2015–2018)
An Arctic town where residents die under mysterious circumstances, one by one. At first, it seems like a regular detective story, but soon something completely inexplicable enters the picture.
Bates Motel (2013–2017)
A prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, this series shows how ordinary teenager Norman Bates turned into cinema’s most famous killer. The setting is a small town where everyone keeps secrets, and an overwhelming sense of inevitable tragedy hangs in the air.
Conclusion
These series each capture a different aspect of Twin Peaks’ atmosphere – some focus on the mystical, others on a creeping tension, and some create that "small town with dark secrets" effect. But if you enjoy a balance of the mysterious and strange, the frightening and intriguing – you definitely have plenty to watch!
