3. One Tree Hill

Set in the small town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, this long-running teen drama follows half-brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott as they battle on and off the basketball court while dealing with romance, friendship, and family struggles.

It’s all about growing up, falling in love, and learning who you are — just with even more drama stretched across a total of whopping nine seasons.

If you enjoyed the dramatic twists in The Summer I Turned Pretty, you’ll love the heightened stakes and glamorous setting of Gossip Girl, because nothing can truly top it.

5. Friday Night Lights

This critically acclaimed drama takes place in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, where high school football is everything. At the center of the story is Coach Eric Taylor and his wife Tami, but the show also explores the lives of the players and their families, touching on romance, class struggles, and small-town dreams.

Though it’s about football, the heart of the show lies in its characters and their relationships.

6. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Based on Jenny Han’s bestselling books (yes, the same author as The Summer I Turned Pretty), this Netflix film series follows Lara Jean Covey, a high school student whose secret love letters are accidentally mailed to all of her crushes.

What starts as a fake relationship between Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky turns into one of the sweetest teen romances on screen. The 2018 VSCO girls went feral for this one.

7. The O.C.

This early 2000s teen drama is set in sunny Orange County, California, and tells the story of Ryan Atwood, a troubled teen taken in by a wealthy family.

With characters like Seth Cohen, Marissa Cooper, and Summer Roberts, the show mixes beachside vibes with intense love stories, drama, and friendships.

8. Normal People

Based on Sally Rooney’s novel, Normal People is a beautifully intimate drama that follows Marianne and Connell, two Irish teenagers from very different backgrounds, whose relationship evolves over the years as they move from high school to university.

The series is raw, emotional, and deeply romantic. It's almost like a more mature version of the story told in TSITP.
