If you happen to be a fan of the supernatural TV genre, you know that siblings have always been the center of the show. They exchange snarky comments, throw insults, they save not only each other (and the whole world) but also their own characters – and be fair, the emotional rollercoaster of sibling relationships is not any less terrifying than the monsters, magic, and curses. No matter what they are – witches, hunters, or just the ones who stir the pot – these siblings are the ones that bring the drama and the emotion that still keep us watching. My reverse countdown of the top 8 most memorable supernatural sibling relationships on television is here.
10. Huey and Riley – The Boondocks
No sibling duo list would be complete without Huey and Riley. They bicker like it’s their job, but in the end, they always have each other’s backs. Huey’s the brainiac, Riley’s the wild child, and their relationship is as funny as it is loving. The fighting, the loyalty, the end-of-the-day scrapping—it’s sibling rivalry at its finest (and funniest) form.
9. Gohan and Goten – Dragon Ball Z
Among all the universe-changing wars, DBZ presents us with one of anime’s most tender sibling relationships. Gohan takes on the role of protective older brother, and Goten—small but courageous—takes a cue. They’re going the extra mile to protect each other, proving that even in a Saiyan world of supervillains, family takes precedence.
8. Edward and Alphonse Elric – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Loyalty is something Edward and Alphonse Elric cannot compromise on. After giving up their bodies in a bid to resurrect them through illegal alchemy, the Elric brothers set out on a sorrowful journey for redemption. They put the other one first with every decision they make, and their unshakeable loyalty is what makes it so compelling. They’re not only brothers—they’re survival companions.
7. Francis, Reese, Malcolm, and Dewey – Malcolm in the Middle
Yes, this show is not exactly “supernatural,” but these brothers are all but agents of chaos. They scheme, prank, and torture one another daily. And yet, when it comes down to it, they hold it all together like only siblings can. Their messy, persistent kind of loyalty feels as true as it comes, packaged in side-splitting humor.
6. The Fisher Brothers – Six Feet Under
Very few shows portray the darker, more complex aspects of family relationships in a way that is as accurate as “Six Feet Under”. The Fisher brothers and sisters feud with each other constantly, but their relationship is still very strong when a calamity takes place. Their coming together through tragedy is both unfiltered and touching to the point of being a cathartic experience for the viewers. It is also shown that even the most dysfunctional families get their power from the ones they love.
5. Bart, Lisa, and Maggie – The Simpsons
Iconic or not, the Simpson siblings are the stuff of legend. Bart and Lisa might argue all day, but their love never fails to show in those little moments. Throw in Maggie, the silent third sibling, and the gang is both the most chaotic and the most comforting family imaginable. After all these years on TV, they are still an example that familial ties go beyond time.
4. The Halliwell Sisters – Charmed
Magic is literally in their genes, but the true magic of the Halliwell sisters lies in their relationship. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and eventually Paige balance exorcising demons, dating, and holding the family unit together. They argue, they weep, they save the world—but behind it all is their love for each other that makes the “Power of Three” real.
3. Kate, Randall, and Kevin – This Is Us
This Is Us gave the audience one of the most subtle, emotional, and tear-jerking portrayals of the brothers’ relationships, which are often confused and hard to understand. Kate, Randall, and Kevin’s characters are complex, flawed, and always arguing; however, they are there for each other no matter what. A family is not necessarily those who share the same blood, but it is those with whom we have established a bond that has survived every storm – this very powerful message is delivered by the show through themes of rivalry, adoption, and letting go of grudges.
2. Sam and Dean Winchester – Supernatural
Fifteen years. Hundreds of monsters. A never-ending loop of combat, death, and rescuing one another. The Winchester brothers’ friendship is the core of Supernatural. They drive one another nuts, but their devotion to one another is why viewers tuned in for over a decade. Deep down, the show is not about demon hunting—it is about brotherhood.
1. Jinx and Vi – Arcane
Jinx and Vi’s sibling relationship is more poignantly heartbreaking than their arc in Arcane, which is purely a storytelling tragedy of heartbreak, betrayal, and occasional glimpses of hope. They dealt a lot of pain to each other, but at the same time, that love that is in the middle of all the chaos never really disappears. It is a complex, tragic, and unforgettable relationship-the supreme instance of how family ties can still exist in the most desolate worlds.
So that’s it—ten sibling relationships that demonstrate that supernatural TV is not all about monsters and magic. It’s about family: messy, crazy, but necessary. Do you agree or disagree? Anyway, you can’t deny these siblings making their shows unforgettable.
