Frequently asked

What should I watch after The Rain?

The Strain shares the same premise of a devastating viral outbreak investigated by a small team racing against collapse. Rainless Love in a Godless Land offers a more lyrical take on a world ending by environmental catastrophe.

What games are like The Rain?

Rain World is the closest tonal match — a lone creature separated from family surviving in a dangerous, rain-soaked world. Solstice adds a dystopian mystery layer set in a frozen, isolated city cut off from the outside.

Why does The Rain resonate with so many viewers?

It puts ordinary people — specifically siblings — at the centre of an extraordinary collapse, keeping the emotional stakes intimate even as the world falls apart. The Scandinavian setting gives the survival story a distinct, bleak atmosphere that separates it from American post-apocalyptic fare.
