TV Shows Like Fleabag
If you like Fleabag, here are 11 similar TV shows — each with its current AI renewal verdict, so you can see which are still going and which have been cancelled.
BBC Three · Comedy · Fleabag is ended
Fleabag works because it trusts its audience to sit with an unlikeable protagonist and watch her fail repeatedly. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's creation doesn't explain away the title character's anger or sexual restlessness or the casual cruelty she directs at people who care about her. Instead, it looks directly at the gap between who she wants to be and who she actually is, and finds the comedy in that distance. The show knows that loneliness and dysfunction are not character flaws to overcome by the finale. They're conditions of modern life that require constant navigation.
The best shows like Fleabag
1. Younger
Younger centers on a woman sustained by a fundamental lie, creating the same tension between her true self and her public face that drives Fleabag's comedy. Both shows use witty dialogue and real friendship as anchors in stories about women trying to survive and reinvent themselves in contemporary cities.

2. Shameless
Like Fleabag, Shameless finds its humor in the chaos of dysfunctional families and makes no apologies for characters who are selfish, sexual, and self-destructive. The sharp dark comedy and the unflinching look at poverty and survival will feel immediately familiar to anyone drawn to Fleabag's honest messiness.

3. Shrinking
Shrinking shares Fleabag's interest in characters who blow up their own lives through refusal to filter themselves, and it balances grief and comedy with equal weight. The show explores how honesty and self-destruction can occupy the same space, much like Fleabag's approach to relationships and accountability.

More on shows like Fleabag
Fans of Fleabag are looking for shows that don't soften their central characters in service of a redemption arc. They want to watch people make bad choices in real time, see the consequences arrive without much warning, and still find reasons to keep watching. They're drawn to dark humor that sits on top of genuine sadness, to breaking the fourth wall and other tricks that remind you a character is aware of how messy they are. They like their London grit or New York ambition rendered with specificity, and they appreciate when a show refuses to make family dysfunction cute or forgivable just because it's familial.
The recommendations here offer different angles on that core appeal. Shameless drops you into a manchester household where survival and self-destruction are two sides of the same coin, with humor that cuts just as sharply as Fleabag's. Russian Doll traps its protagonist in a philosophical nightmare of her own making, using dark comedy and repetition to explore mortality and shame. Younger follows a woman building her life on a lie, which creates constant tension between who she is and who she's pretending to be. Shrinking takes a therapist at the end of his rope and watches him stop filtering himself, turning grief and honesty into something chaotic and unexpectedly funny. Only Murders in the Building assembles misfits and outsiders and gives them a mystery to solve, creating space for character work underneath the plot. All five shows understand that the most interesting people are often the most broken ones.
