Enjoyed ‘The Boys’? Here are more must-watch superhero dramas to binge next

If 'The Boys' rewired the way you think about superheroes, you are not going to find satisfaction in the usual cape-and-quip formula anymore. You need something with the same willingness to go dark, get strange, and ask uncomfortable questions about power, identity, and what heroism actually looks like when you strip away the mythology. Here are six shows that deserve a place on your watchlist.

Set inside the only college in America exclusively for young superheroes, 'Gen V' explores what happens when the next generation of powered individuals are shaped and weaponised by an institution with its own deeply sinister agenda, with Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, and Lizze Broadway leading a cast that brings real rawness to every revelation. Created by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, the show has a campus energy that feels fresh and urgent in a way that sets it apart from everything else in the genre. It is on Prime Video, and if you have already finished 'The Boys', this is exactly where to go next.

Created by Noah Hawley, 'Legion' follows David Haller, a man who has spent his life being told he is mentally ill and slowly discovers he may be the most powerful mutant alive, with Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, and Aubrey Plaza delivering performances that match the show's extraordinary ambition. It folds psychological horror, surrealist imagery, and genuinely unpredictable storytelling into something that feels completely unlike anything else on television. Head to Hulu or rent it on Prime Video because this one is not like anything else you have seen.

Created and directed by James Gunn, 'Peacemaker' stars John Cena alongside Danielle Brooks and Jennifer Holland, taking one of the most morally repugnant characters in recent superhero television and building an entire show around the uncomfortable project of making you care about him anyway. Cena plays Christopher Smith with a surprising vulnerability beneath all the jingoistic bluster, and the show says something genuinely sharp about patriotism, trauma, and who gets to call themselves a hero. Prime Video has it, and it is one of the most unexpectedly moving things the superhero genre has produced in recent years.

Developed by Steve Blackman, 'The Umbrella Academy' stars Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, and Robert Sheehan as part of a dysfunctional family of superpowered siblings raised by an eccentric billionaire who are now trying to prevent the apocalypse while barely managing to be in the same room as each other. The show balances genuine heart with the kind of unpredictable chaos that makes every episode feel like it could go anywhere. Netflix has all three seasons, and once you start, stopping is genuinely not an option.

Developed by Sam Catlin, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, 'Preacher' stars Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, and Joseph Gilgun as a preacher possessed by a supernatural entity, his assassin ex-girlfriend, and an Irish vampire who set off across America to find God and demand some answers. The three leads bring an anarchic, deeply committed energy to roles that could have collapsed under the weight of the show's wildest ideas, and instead make every moment feel completely grounded. You will find all four seasons on Prime Video waiting for you.

Created by Damon Lindelof, 'Watchmen' is set in an alternate America where masked vigilantes are outlawed and the legacy of costumed heroism has left deep, unresolved wounds, with Regina King, Jeremy Irons, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II leading a cast that matches the show's extraordinary formal ambition. The series uses the superhero framework to examine race, trauma, and historical violence with a seriousness the genre rarely attempts. It is on Prime Video and genuinely essential viewing.
