10 Best Shows Like Obi-Wan Kenobi

10 Best Shows Like Obi-Wan Kenobi

Raising Dion never got the attention it deserved on Netflix which unfortunately led to its early cancelation. However, the series is still worth the binge. The superhero drama centers on Nicole Warren and her young son Dion who has begun to manifest superhero-like abilities. Still reeling from her husband’s death, Nicole is now tasked with keeping Dion safe and his powers hidden from those who want to exploit him.
The most obvious similarity between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Raising Dion is that both rely greatly on keeping one’s true identity a secret. Kenobi must keep his Jedi status a secret to avoid death in the same way Nicole and Dion must keep his powers a secret to keep him safe from harm.

Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018)

Star Wars Resistance (2018-2020)

Though Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Wars Resistance take place in different timelines, they still share similarities. The most important being the fact that both Kazuda and Kenobi must keep their true identities a secret if they want good to prevail.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021-)
Available On Disney+

After the success of several Star Wars animated shows, it only made sense for Disney+ to debut with its own original animated series: The Bad Batch. The series is a sequel and spin-off of Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It follows Clone Force 99,  a squad of clone troopers who all have genetic mutations and go out on various mercenary missions in the wake of the Clone War.

Unlike other Star Wars shows which focus primarily on Jedi, The Bad Batch truly focuses on the clones. Being in the Star Wars universe might be the closest similarity The Bad Batch has to Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it’s a pretty strong similarity to have since they all tie in to complete the galactic story.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2020)

The series features beloved characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul while also introducing a new batch of characters including Anakin’s Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.

Stranger Things (2016-)
Available On Netflix

Leading the discovery is Eleven, a mysterious girl who has escaped from the government testing center.
While Stranger Things is not set in the Star Wars universe, it does share a lot of its core themes.

The Book Of Boba-Fett (2021-)

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (2021)

What originally starts a mission becomes even more important when Din learns how sought after Grogu actually is.
