If you like You, here are 12 similar TV shows — each with its current AI renewal verdict, so you can see which are still going and which have been cancelled.
Lifetime · Mystery · You is ended
You works because it never lets you get comfortable. The show puts you inside the head of Joe Goldberg, a man who frames his stalking, manipulation, and violence as devotion. That tight first-person perspective is the trick: you understand his reasoning even as you recognize how monstrous it is. The writing keeps the moral ground shifting under your feet, and that tension is what keeps fans coming back.
The best shows like You
1. MINDHUNTER
Where You gives you the killer's internal monologue, Mindhunter gives you the scientists trying to decode it. The FBI agents at the center of the show develop criminal profiling by sitting down with serial killers and getting them to talk, which means a lot of screen time is spent inside frameworks of obsession and rationalization that will feel familiar to any fan of Joe Goldberg. It is slower and more procedural than You, but it rewards patience with a genuinely unsettling portrait of how violent minds work.

2. 56 Days
56 Days reconstructs a romance and a murder simultaneously, cutting between a couple's relationship as it unfolds and the detective investigation trying to piece together what went wrong. That structure, where you watch something beautiful and something terrible occupy the same space, echoes the way You frames Joe's obsessions as love stories. Fans of the show's knack for dramatic irony will find a lot to appreciate here.

3. Killing Eve
Killing Eve is the most obvious next step for a You fan: it is built entirely around a mutual obsession between two people who should, by all logic, want each other dead. The show has the same dark humor and the same willingness to make you root for someone you should not, and the cat-and-mouse dynamic between its leads has the same charged, unsettling energy as Joe's pursuit of his targets. If You's central thrill is watching someone dangerous get dangerously close, Killing Eve doubles that tension.

4. Imperfect Women
Imperfect Women starts with a murder and then slowly dismantles the relationships around it, revealing that the people closest to the victim had secrets that run much deeper than anyone admitted. The show has a strong sense of how long-term intimacy creates both loyalty and damage, which is territory You maps obsessively. Fans drawn to the way You uses a tight social circle to hide transgression will find the same dynamic at work here.

5. Cross
Cross centers on a homicide detective who is described explicitly as obsessive, damaged by loss, and single-minded in pursuit of killers, which puts him closer to Joe Goldberg's psychological neighborhood than most TV heroes would be comfortable admitting. The show sits on the crime drama end of the spectrum rather than the thriller, but its interest in a flawed, driven man who operates at the edge of his own limits will resonate with You fans who like their protagonists difficult to categorize.

More on shows like You
What fans of You tend to want next is something that maintains that same psychological unease. A show where the criminal mind is the subject of close study, where the line between obsession and purpose is blurry, and where the genre machinery, the mystery, the crime, the cat-and-mouse, serves a deeper interest in how people become dangerous. Pure procedurals tend to disappoint this crowd. They want interiority, moral complexity, and a story that moves.
The recommendations here cover that ground from a few different angles. Mindhunter and Cross both put investigators at the center, but neither is a simple whodunit. Mindhunter is especially relevant because it treats the criminal mind as something to be understood rather than just caught, which is exactly the intellectual space You occupies. Killing Eve is the most direct tonal cousin: obsession runs in both directions between its two leads, and the show has the same dark wit that You deploys so well. 56 Days and Imperfect Women are more grounded in the mechanics of investigation, but both use a fractured, non-linear approach to reveal how ordinary relationships can hide extraordinary violence, a subject You knows well.
None of these shows are quite as stylized as You at its peak, and some are more restrained in ways that will feel like a relief or a letdown depending on your taste. But all of them take seriously the idea that the scariest people are the ones who believe they are the hero of their own story.
