There's the upcoming Death Note (opens in new tab), which combines 13 Reasons Why and Stranger Things.

Fincher's new crime drama series follows two FBI agents (actors Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany, who have great IRL detective names) who attempt to study the minds of serial killers in the late 1970s. It's based on Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by Mark Olshaker and John Douglas—the latter being the famed FBI agent upon which Silence of the Lambs' Jack Crawford was modeled. Their work revolves around unraveling the twisted minds of murderers, but as McCallany's character asks in the new trailer, "How do we get ahead of crazy if we don't know how crazy thinks?"
