7 Shows To Watch If You Liked The Summer I Turned Pretty

Let's face it: you've devoured every episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, rewatched every Belly-Conrad dance scene, and debated endlessly with your group chat about who she should end up with. Now, you’re left with a gaping hole in your heart, a void where beach houses, endless love triangles, and a killer Taylor Swift soundtrack used to be. Don't worry, we've got you. Here are seven shows that capture that same messy, sun-drenched, coming-of-age magic.

1. My Life With the Walter Boys

If what you crave is the sweet, sweet agony of a love triangle involving two brothers, look no further. This Netflix series is essentially The Summer I Turned Pretty on a ranch. It follows Jackie, a New York City teen who, after a family tragedy, moves in with her mother's friend in rural Colorado. She's instantly thrown into a household of 10 boys, including two of the most popular—and very different—brothers, Alex and Cole. The question of who Jackie will choose is a central plot point, just like with Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah.

2. XO, Kitty

Can't get enough of the Jenny Han universe? Then you're in luck. XO, Kitty is a spin-off of the beloved To All the Boys I've Loved Before film series. It follows Kitty, the youngest of the Covey sisters, as she travels to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the same boarding school her late mother did. Kitty finds her own journey of self-discovery and romance, complete with a new love triangle. It’s a breezy, fun, and heartwarming watch.

3. Outer Banks

For those who loved the sun-soaked, coastal vibe of Cousins Beach, Outer Banks takes the summer aesthetic to the next level. This Netflix show is a high-octane blend of teen drama, action, and mystery. It follows a group of friends known as the ‘Pogues’ on a treasure hunt in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. While it's more about adventure than angst, it still delivers on the messy love triangles, tight-knit friendships, and a seriously attractive cast.

4. Never Have I Ever

If you're here for the awkward, relatable high school drama and a love triangle that will make you scream at your screen, Never Have I Ever is your next binge. Created by Mindy Kaling, the show follows Devi Vishwakumar, a first-generation Indian-American teenager, as she navigates her complicated life after her father's death. She's caught between two very different boys: the smart, nerdy Ben and the gorgeous, popular Paxton. The show is hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply honest about grief and growing up.

5. Dawson's Creek

Let's go back to where the teen drama love triangle was perfected. Dawson's Creek is the classic that walked so The Summer I Turned Pretty could run. Set in the picturesque small town of Capeside, this '90s hit follows a close group of friends. The central love triangle between Dawson, Joey, and Pacey is legendary and filled with a poetic, emotional complexity that will make you feel all the feels. It's the quintessential teen coming-of-age story.

6. Gilmore Girls

The cosy, small-town charm and complex family dynamics of The Summer I Turned Pretty find their match in Gilmore Girls. This show centres on the relationship between a single mother, Lorelai, and her brilliant daughter, Rory. While it's not a summer show, its autumn-filled, coffee-fueled vibe offers a similar sense of warmth and comfort. Rory's journey through love and life features its own iconic love triangles that will have you debating Team Jess versus Team Logan just as fiercely as Team Conrad versus Team Jeremiah.
