Best TV Villains, Ranked: 60 Baddies From Vampire Diaries, Game of Thrones, The Boys, Dynasty, Buffy and More
They say it’s good to be bad — but which TV villains are the very best at being bad?
Below, TVLine has compiled an updated list of small-screen foes who made an indelible impression with their evil plots and wicked ways. These memorable enemies, from shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Arrow, Once Upon a Time and Supernatural, range from crafty opponents to downright despicable human beings. And lest you think only genre shows breed troublemakers, we’ve also included some classic villainesses from Dynasty, Falcon Crest and Melrose Place.

Plus, we’ve selected a handful of characters who are currently delivering dastardly performances on The Boys, Evil and The Walking Dead universe. Our refreshed rankings also feature baddies from Doctor Who, Succession, Smallville, Sons of Anarchy and more shows!
Note: We limited our picks to just one villain per series/franchise, which certainly wasn’t an easy task when it came to the plentiful options in the Vampire Diaries and Arrow universes or on Game of Thrones. That said, one actor is so good at being bad that he appears on our ranking twice, for two very different roles!
So who’s the best of the worst? Review our list, then hit the comments with any evildoers who missed the cut!
