What to Watch After What If...?

Beyond the Multiverse: Four Must‑Watch Picks for What If...? Fans

If you love the mind‑bending multiverse of Marvel’s What If...?, you’ll find a surprisingly diverse quartet of shows ready to expand your superhero palate. From the freshly minted parallel‑universe thriller Dark Matter, to the irreverent, genre‑bending comedy The Tick, the teen‑driven espionage of Young Justice, and the brutally honest animated saga Invincible, each recommendation offers a distinct flavor while staying tethered to the core curiosity that fuels alternate‑timeline storytelling.

Together they map a spectrum: Dark Matter pushes the concept of “what if” into a near‑future drama, The Tick lampoons the very tropes that What If...? reimagines, Young Justice delivers the next‑gen team dynamics fans crave, and Invincible proves that a darker, more visceral take can still honor comic‑book roots. Whether you’re after fresh speculation, satirical punch, youthful ambition, or gritty realism, this curated set promises to satisfy every facet of the superhero enthusiast’s appetite.
