Whether you’re a long-time fan mourning the end of such an incredible series (I certainly am) or a newcomer looking to explore other post-apocalyptic worlds, there’s no shortage of gripping dramas that rival the excitement of The Walking Dead. I’ve found five of the best series that will keep you hooked, as they offer thrilling adventures and survival stories that are just as compelling.

Here’s what you can stream on some of the best streaming services – including Netflix, Prime Video And Max — this feels exactly like “The Walking Dead.”

‘The last of us’

Based on the critically acclaimed video game of the same name (and my absolute favorite game), The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic drama series that tells the story of Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivalist, and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a young girl who may hold the key to humanity’s survival. Set in a world ravaged by a fungal infection that turns people into zombie-like creatures, the series follows their journey across a devastated United States.

Joel is tasked with smuggling Ellie out of a quarantine zone and taking her across the country to a group called the Fireflies, who believe Ellie’s immunity to the infection could lead to a cure. Along the way, they face many dangers, including infected creatures, hostile humans, and the harsh reality of their world, all while developing a deep, reciprocal father-daughter bond.

‘Kingdom’

“Kingdom” is one of the most popular South Korean historical horror thriller series. Set during the Joseon Dynasty, the plot follows Crown Prince Lee Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) as he investigates a mysterious plague spreading through the kingdom. The story begins with the king falling ill under suspicious circumstances, leading to rumors of his death and a power struggle at court. As the prince tries to find out the truth, he discovers that the king’s illness is linked to a deadly epidemic that resurrects the dead. This plague spreads quickly, turning those infected into violent, flesh-eating zombies.

Prince Lee Chang, along with his loyal allies, including a doctor named Seo-bi (Bae Doona) and a warrior named Mu-yeong (Kim Sang-ho), must fight both the undead and the corrupt officials who seek power.

“We are all dead”

All of Us Are Dead is another South Korean zombie horror series that I absolutely love. The series is set in a high school where a sudden zombie outbreak traps the students. As the infection spreads rapidly, the students must stay alive while dealing with the chaos around them. The narrative follows a group of students, each with their own personality and background, as they navigate the school’s hallways, classrooms, and various facilities to escape the undead.

They are betrayed and are constantly in danger of being bitten and turned into zombies themselves. Of course, the students not only have to fight the zombies, but also make difficult decisions about who they can trust and how they can survive together.

‘Stand out’

Based on the popular video game series of the same name, the Fallout television series is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where civilization has been destroyed by nuclear war. Ella Purnell plays a young woman named Lucy who emerges from a safe house to explore the world, Walton Goggins portrays a ghoul suffering from the physical effects of radiation, and Aaron Moten plays a member of the Brotherhood of Steel named Maximus.

Obviously, “Fallout” does not contain Zombiebut it still shows the consequences of a nuclear war and how humans are more dangerous than anything else (similar to “The Walking Dead”).

“Station Eleven”

Station Eleven tells the story of a flu pandemic that wipes out most of the world’s population and focuses on a group of survivors trying to navigate a post-apocalyptic world. There are no zombies or mutated creatures as the focus is on how humans would react to this situation, which is a very interesting take on the genre.

The narrative weaves together timelines before, during and after the pandemic, including the complete collapse of society as the survivors are left to fend for themselves. The goal is to explore the lives of various characters and how they deal with loss, isolation and the search for meaning in a drastically changed world. Since it’s a miniseries with only ten episodes, you can easily watch the entire series in a weekend.
