Who Killed Sara? created a perfect balance between a nerve-gritting mystery and good old-fashioned family drama. This Mexican hit starring Manolo Cardona and Carolina Miranda is centered on Alex Guzman (Cardona), as he seeks to avenge his sister’s death after being framed by the Lazcanos. Throughout the episodes, it becomes crystal clear that finding the killer is way more complicated than Alex ever imagined. After two seasons that pilled up many suspects, Who Killed Sara? Season 3 arrived on Netflix earlier this year and wrapped up the series with a bonkers ending.

From connecting all the dots behind Sara’s murder to eventually figuring out who the killer is, this show will probably leave a void once you've caught up in all the seasons. Yet, if binge-worthy is what you are looking for, there are a couple of recommendations that fit the profile. Here are nine shows like Who Killed Sara? to explore the Spanish-speaking horizons a bit further or simply return to the classic "who killed who" murder mystery.

The Innocent (2021)

Alex Guzman had to pay the price for a murder he didn’t commit, but what if you paid the price for accidentally killing someone in a fight? In The Innocent, Mateo Vidal (Mario Casas) didn’t expect that a simple hangout at the club would have a life-changing aftermath. After spending four years in prison, Mateo has another chance at a normal life as a lawyer in his brother’s firm. Just when everything seems to be back on track, Mateo finds himself tangled up in a new murder case, in which he becomes the main suspect. This miniseries, inspired by the best-selling Harlan Coben thriller, is short and sweet — perfect for someone looking for an unpredictable storyline and a cut-to-the-chase investigation.

Revenge (2011-2015)

There are plenty of innocent people that end up in a compromising situation because of a wealthy and powerful family. In Revenge, for instance, David Clarke (James Tupper) is convicted due to a terrorist attack he wasn’t even involved in. His daughter Amanda Clarke, played by Emily VanCamp, decides to take the matter into her own hands, adopting a new identity in her pursuit of vengeance. When she moves back to the Hamptons at her former property, everyone knows her as Emily Thorne, a young woman with a mysterious past. As Amanda becomes closer to the powerful Grayson family, who framed her father all those years ago, she tries to uncover their deepest darkest secrets and give them a proper payback.

Good Morning, Verônica (2020-Present)

After going to jail for years as the main suspect behind his sister's death, Alex is unstoppable when it comes to uncovering the truth and ensuring that the real perpetrators are punished. Similarly, Verônica Torres (Tainá Muller) is a police clerk that finds a neglected sexual assault case against police officer Claúdio Brandão (Eduardo Moscovis) and decides to investigate it on her own. With barely any support from her colleagues, the protagonist uses her strong sense of justice to her advantage. Season 2 of this Brazilian series just arrived on Netflix, with a second equally attention-grabbing case that highlights the impact that corruption and power have in keeping victims silent. Having a police clerk like Verônica that these victims can rely on helps them speak up and gain the strength to confront their assaulters.

Elite (2018-Present)

Elite is the perfect match for someone looking for a suspenseful investigation and risqué teen drama. When three students (played by Miguel Hérran, Itzan Escamilla, and Mina El Hammani) from underprivileged backgrounds receive a scholarship to study at a prestigious elite school in Spain called Las Encinas, they immediately spot the contrasting realities between them and their peers. Yet, the death of a classmate makes the social class barrier less apparent when all the students have something to hide. Elite has Gossip Girl’s glamour, Euphoria’s drive, and Pretty Little Liars’ intensity.

Money Heist (2019-2021)

If you thought that Who Killed Sara? was unpredictable, then you probably haven’t seen Money Heist. This Spanish series defies all your past knowledge about on-screen bank robberies and it promises to keep you on the edge of your seat all throughout its 4 seasons. A group of eight outlaws are led by the Professor (Álvaro Morte) as they invade the Royal Mint of Spain in red jumpsuits and Dali masks. Their sole purpose is to orchestrate the greatest heist ever seen and remain one step ahead of the police. This series has just so many unexpected twists that it's no wonder the show is written episode-to-episode during filming.

Succession (2018-Present)

Ok, ok, let’s tone down a bit from the mystery narratives and go back to the powerhouse family dynamics. In this acclaimed, multiple award-winning HBO drama, the Roy family is responsible for the world’s leading entertainment media company. Everything seems fine, until patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) decides to step down from his role, and the competition gets real when each member of the family wants to become the next in line. With a stellar cast, Succession has a clever screenplay that instantly draws you to the world of corruption, lies, and sarcasm that surrounds the Roy family. Despite the parallels between the questionable behavior from both the Roys and the Lazcanos, in this show, even the most dislikable character seems intriguing.

Lupin (2021-Present)

Now it’s time for another Netflix original to take over this list. Like Amanda Clarke in Revenge, Assane Diop (played by Omar Sy) is on a mission to retaliate against a wealthy family that put his innocent father behind bars. Inspired by the literary character Arsène Lupin, Assane is the "Gentleman Burglar" who utilizes his thievery skills to uncover the crimes behind Hubert Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre), the man responsible for his father’s tragic condemnation. The show came out in early 2021, striking a record-breaking viewership for Netflix. Due to its popularity, Lupin's Season 2 was released soon after Season 1. Make sure to binge it before the already confirmed Season 3 lands on the platform.

Monarca (2019-2021)

From one Mexican soap opera to another. Monarca is the Mexican version of Succession, in the sense that it is focused on a family empire in need of a successor to run its renowned tequila company. Ana María (Irene Azuela) is back, after leaving Mexico 20 years ago. She is summoned by her father Fausto Carranza (David Rencoret) to clean up Monarca’s name, which is now associated with numerous scandals, violence, and fraud. Once Fausto dies, the power dispute begins when Ana María and her brothers Andres (Osvaldo Benavides) and Joaquin (Juan Manuel Bernal) need to prove themselves worthy of the vacant post.

The White Lotus (2021-Present)

In the same way that social inequality helps the Lazcanos get away with multiple felonies throughout the series due to their wealthy status, the elite guests in The White Lotus also leave their vacation getaway untouched from harm. As this group of people from all walks of life decide to visit Hawaii, they connect with the staff at the White Lotus resort. Although some of them even sympathize with the working class, as it is the case for Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) and Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), they eventually break off their ties and cause a lot of damage in return. The Mike White series has been renewed for Season 2 and is currently a strong contender at the 2022 Emmys race, so this would be the perfect time to dive into the murder mystery.
