Not ready for Alex Rider to end? Here are 5 shows to get your Alex Rider fix

The Wilds

If you’re looking for another show that brings about a conspiracy, you’ll want to check out the YA series The Wilds. Annoyingly, this one was canceled abruptly, but that doesn’t mean the show isn’t worth the watch.

It starts off with a group of teenage girls who are trapped on an island after their plane crashes. They need to figure out how to survive, while also dealing with their own personal issues. We have topics of sexuality, depression, manipulation and more.

What happens when it turns out that there is something much bigger going on. They may have been eventually rescued from the island, but is that rescue really a rescue? That’s something to figure out?

The Wilds is available to stream on Prime Video.

The Society

We turn to a Lord of the Flies style of series. The Society follows a group of teenagers who are supposed to head off on a field trip. They end up having to return home, only to find that there is nobody there.

The place looks the same, but it’s not. In fact, it turns out that they are surrounded by forests, and they only have the items left behind in wherever they’ve ended up. The group needs to figure out how to survive as they realize that nobody is coming to look for them.

This series only has one season. It was supposed to get a second, but it became a casualty of the pandemic.

The Society is available to stream on Netflix.
