NEW YORK, July 14 (UPI) -- Emmy-nominated drama, Stranger Things, recently wrapped its heartbreaking and action-packed fourth season on an epic cliffhanger.

Since Netflix has said the fifth and final season of the iconic 1980s-set sci-fi series likely won't premiere until 2024, many viewers might be looking for other shows to fill the void while they wait to return to Hawkins, Indiana, and its apocalyptic parallel dimension, the Upside Down.

Here are five other supernatural series about people teaming up to fight evil that might fit the bill:

'Roswell, New Mexico' -- The CW, Netflix

In the romantic, contemporary, sci-fi dramedy, Jeanine Mason plays Liz Ortecho, a brilliant biomedical researcher and daughter of undocumented Mexican immigrants, who returns to the show's titular town after a 10-year absence to discover her high-school beau Max (Nathan Dean Parsons) and his siblings Isobel (Lily Cowles) and Michael (Michael Vlamis) are actually space aliens who have been living as humans all their lives. Their investigation into their extraordinary origins and powers pits them against shadowy government figures and evil beings from their own planet. The fourth and final season is airing on The CW now. The show is a remake of the 1999-2002 series, Roswell, which was inspired by the Roswell High young-adult book series by Melinda Metz.
