With the latest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty wrapped, fans are left with one big question: what to watch next? If you’re missing Belly, Conrad, Jeremiah, and the drama of Cousins Beach, you’re not alone. Luckily, there are plenty of binge-worthy shows that capture the same blend of romance, friendship, and coming-of-age storytelling. Whether you want another small-town love triangle or a glossy teen drama, these six shows will help fill the void—and you can start streaming them right now.

If you loved the Cousins Beach setting and adventure-filled summers, Outer Banks will feel like a natural next watch.

Set on the Carolina coast, the show mixes treasure hunts, teen romance, and social divides between the “Pogues” and “Kooks.” Just like TSITP, it blends love triangles with friendship bonds and plenty of cliffhangers.

2. Dawson’s Creek – Watch on Hulu

If Belly’s love triangle hooked you, Dawson’s Creek has the same timeless pull.

This ‘90s classic follows Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen as they navigate love, heartbreak, and growing up in a seaside town. With heartfelt storytelling and relatable teenage emotions, it’s an easy go-to once you finish TSITP.

3. Gossip Girl – Watch on Max

If you’re craving more messy relationships and drama, Gossip Girl delivers in spades.

While it trades in beaches for Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the show thrives on tangled romances, betrayals, and big reveals. Think of it as TSITP’s glamorous, drama-packed cousin—just with a lot more headbands.

4. One Tree Hill – Watch on Hulu

If you want a show that grows with its characters the way TSITP does, One Tree Hill is the one to binge.

Set in a small town, this early-2000s staple blends basketball, friendship, and tangled romances into an addictive story. Its themes of love, identity, and heartbreak mirror much of what fans love about Jenny Han’s world.

5. The O.C. – Watch on Hulu

If you want a mix of sun-soaked settings and unforgettable teen drama, The O.C. hits the spot.

Set in Orange County, California, the show follows Ryan, Seth, Marissa, and Summer as they navigate relationships, family struggles, and class divides. It’s equal parts heartwarming and dramatic, echoing the same push and pull of love that TSITP fans adore.

6. XO, Kitty – Watch on Netflix

If you can’t get enough of Jenny Han’s stories, XO, Kitty is the perfect follow-up.

From the author of TSITP, this series follows Lara Jean’s younger sister as she heads to Korea for school and stumbles into her own romantic adventures. It has the same heartfelt storytelling, charming characters, and swoon-worthy moments.

While the latest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty may be over, the romance and drama don’t have to be. From Outer Banks to XO, Kitty, these shows offer the perfect mix of heart, love triangles, and binge-worthy storytelling to get you through the wait. Queue them up, hit play, and let the next obsession begin.
