Little Fires Everywhere may have just started [1] on Hulu, but we're already on pins and needles waiting for the rest of the season [2]. Yes, we may already know most of what is to come [3] on the show, which is based on Celeste Ng's novel of the same name, but it doesn't make us any less excited. While waiting for new episodes, we scoured Netflix and Hulu for other shows with similar themes. Some of them focus on teens, like those in Little Fires Everywhere; some of them are all about single parents, like Kerry Washington [4]'s character and her daughter; and a lot of them are all about mystery. Keep reading to check them all out.
Scandal
A large part of Little Fires Everywhere is, of course, the fires. You spend the episodes getting the backstory that leads up to who set the fires, which is reminiscent of the problem solving of this show. Also, it's more Kerry Washington [5].
Watch Scandal on Netflix [6].
How to Get Away With Murder
The format of this show feels very much like the format of Little Fires Everywhere. It starts at the end and works its way back to solve the crime.

Gilmore Girls
Mia and her daughter Pearl are at the forefront of Little Fires Everywhere. If you want another show with a strong mother-daughter duo, the obvious choice is Gilmore Girls [8].

Safe

Riverdale
If you want a show that focuses more on the teens in the story, this is the one for you. This show gives you the same aspects of Little Fires Everywhere — drama, romance, and misbehaving.

This Is Us
This show is similar to Little Fires Everywhere because of its strong family aspect and also because a fire plays a large part of the story.

Veronica Mars
Another show that focuses on a strong teenage character, this show also takes place in an affluent area, similar to where the Richardsons live in Shaker Heights, OH.
