17	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Detective investigates crimes caused by paranormal phenomena.
18	** '''Implementation:''' ''The X-Files'' is an original series. ''Baywatch Nights'' was a ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' SpinOff that started as a beach-themed [[CopShow P.I. Show]] somewhat reminiscent of ''Series/MiamiVice'' before producer/star Creator/DavidHasselhoff ordered a massive paranormal ReTool to cash on the popularity of ''The X-Files'' at the time. Yet still remained beach-themed.

20	* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (2010) / ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'' (2011)
21	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Prime-time adult {{horror}} shows on basic cable.
22	** '''Implementation:''' ''Dead'' is about a ZombieApocalypse and is jam-packed with [[{{Gorn}} blood and guts]], while ''Horror Story'' features a more diverse set of horror scenarios (a HauntedHouse in the first season, a BedlamHouse in the second) and focuses more on the screwing (both [[MindScrew mental]] and [[HotterAndSexier physical]]).

25	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Shows about the ZombieApocalypse.
26	** '''Implementation:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' airs on Creator/{{AMC}} and is the DarkerAndEdgier of the two shows, and benefits from an established fanbase due to it being an adaptation of a comic by RobertKirkman, while ''Z Nation'' airs on Creator/{{Syfy}} and is an original series made by Creator/TheAsylum.
27	----

33	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Dark, violent tales of imprisoned serial killers and the FBI agents forced to interact with them.

35	----
36	* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' (2013, NBC) / ''Series/{{Clarice}}'' (2021, Lifetime)
37	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Shows based on Thomas Harris' ''Franchise/HannibalLecter'' series.
38	** '''Implementation:''' The titles are indicative; ''Clarice'' was to focus on the titular agent Starling soon after she graduates from the UsefulNotes/{{FBI}} academy, while ''Hannibal'' was made by Creator/BryanFuller and is about the [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]] SerialKiller and his relationship with FBI criminal profiler [[Literature/RedDragon Will Graham]].
39	----

41	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Shows based on classic [[Film/{{Psycho}} psycho]][[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs logical]] horror films -- coincidentally, both of whose iconic villain was played by an actor named Anthony.
42	** '''Implementation:''' ''Hannibal'' is a prequel, while ''Bates Motel'' is a re-magined OriginStory about Norman's [[TeensAreMonsters formative years]]. Both are set in the present day.
43	----
44	* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'' (2022, AMC) / ''Series/LetTheRightOneIn'' (2022, Showtime)
45	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Television adaptations of seminal modern vampire novels (''Literature/InterviewWithTheVampire'' and ''Literature/LetTheRightOneIn'' respectively).
46	** '''Implementation:''' ''Interview'' is a PeriodPiece set in New Orleans and focuses on a DestructiveRomance between two male vampires, while ''Let'' is set in modern-day New York City and is about a young female vampire.
47	----
48	* ''Series/TheFollowing'' (2013) / ''Series/{{Cult}}'' (2013)
49	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Murderous {{cult}}s being investigated and weeded out, the former by the FBI (led by Creator/KevinBacon), and the latter by a blogger whose brother may have been one of the cult's victims.
50	** '''Implementation:''' ''The Following'' was made by Kevin Williamson, who [[DivorcedInstallment originally wrote it]] as a ''Film/{{Scream}}'' sequel.
51	----
52	* ''Series/ScreamTheTVSeries'' (2015) / ''Series/{{Scream Queens\|2015}}'' (2015)
53	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Teen-oriented [[SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror horror-comedy]] {{slasher\|Movie}} series that premiered in 2015.
54	** '''Implementation:''' ''Scream'' airs on Creator/{{MTV}}, is [[RecycledTheSeries a TV adaptation]] of [[Film/{{Scream}} the film series of the same name]], and is the DarkerAndEdgier of the two. ''Scream Queens'' airs on Creator/{{Fox}}, is created by Creator/RyanMurphy (maker of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' and ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''), has Creator/JamieLeeCurtis, Creator/EmmaRoberts, and Creator/LeaMichele in lead roles, and is very much LighterAndSofter[=/=]BloodyHilarious.
55	----
56	* ''Scream: The TV Series'' (2015) / ''Series/DeadOfSummer'' (2016)
57	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Teen-oriented horror series airing on basic cable networks (MTV and Creator/{{Freeform}}, respectively) during the summer.
58	** '''Implementation:''' ''Dead of Summer'' was created by Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, and Ian Goldberg of ''Series/OnceUponATime'' and ''Series/{{Lost}}'' fame, and while its setting (a summer camp in TheEighties) would suggest a slasher homage, it is closer to supernatural horror than anything. Regardless, their timeslots and target audiences make the comparisons inevitable -- both shows air on Tuesday nights, ''Dead of Summer'' at 9 and ''Scream'', in its second season, right after it at 10 (switching its timeslot from Monday at 11 just in time for ''Dead of Summer''[='=]s premiere, in fact).
59	----
60	* ''Series/Preacher2016'' / ''Series/{{Outcast}}'' (2016)
61	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Cynical dramas about the decline of Christianity in contemporary rural America with heavy supernatural elements, primarily DemonicPossession.
62	** '''Implementation:''' Both shows are based on comic book series and seemingly inspired by the success of ''Series/TheWalkingDead''. Creator/SethRogen and Evan Goldberg (''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'') write and produce, while Sam Catlin (''Series/BreakingBad'') is showrunner and producer on ''Preacher''. Creator/RobertKirkman takes a similarly active role on ''Outcast'' as on his other project, ''The Walking Dead''. The shows premiered a fortnight apart and both have a ten episode first season run.
63	----
64	* ''Series/TheWilds'' (2020) / ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'' (2021)
65	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Adult-oriented survival stories about a group of teenage girls surviving a plane crash in a deserted wilderness, with something much more mysterious occurring behind the scenes, and both pitched as a female-driven modern take on ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies''. Also, both have split timelines, detailing the survivor's immediate experiences after the crash juxtaposed with their lives after being rescued.
66	** '''Implementation:''': ''The Wilds'' premiered in late 2020 to minimal promotion, and focused on a modern story of the girls surviving on a deserted island, and had more of a ScienceFiction bend. ''Yellojackets'' premiered in late 2021, and is partially a period piece, with distinct elements of Horror, showing the girls surviving seemingly-supernatural events in the Canadian wilderness in the late 1990s and juxtaposing it with the survivor's stories 20 years later. ''Yellowjackets'' was also a SleeperHit, which was under promoted but became critically acclaimed.
67	----
68	* ''Series/TheLastOfUs2023'' / ''The Walking Dead: Dead City'' (2023)
69	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Two shows about survival during a ZombieApocalypse, including derelict urban environments.
70	** '''Implementation:''' ''The Last of Us'' adapts its [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs namesake video game]], with the "zombies" in it being [[NotUsingTheZWord more akin to fungi-infected humans than living dead]]. ''The Walking Dead: Dead City'' is the fourth SpinOff of ''Series/{{The Walking Dead\|2010}}'' and the fifth installment of ''Franchise/TheWalkingDeadTelevisionUniverse'', and zombies in it are more classic living dead.
71	----
72	* ''[[Series/TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher2023 The Fall of the House of Usher]]'' / ''Series/{{Goosebumps\|2023}}'' (2023)
73	** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Two horror drama series that serve as [[AdaptationAmalgamation amalgamated adaptations]] of notable horror authors, released the same week and even sharing the same composers in the Newton Brothers.
