What To Watch After The Summer I Turned Pretty

Now that The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 has wrapped up, it feels like there's a hole in our hearts. Instead of spending our Wednesday nights with Conrad Fisher and Belly Conklin, we're impatiently waiting for The Summer I Turned Pretty movie to come our way. It's disappointing to lose yet another escape-the-world show, where the messy universe of Cousins Beach and cheating scandals could take your mind off life admin and grown-up problems. Luckily, there are a plethora of other shows to fill the gap — whether you're after more teenage angst, book-to-screen adaptations, or even another series about a girl torn between two brothers.

From other YA series to classics that still hold up today, here are 9 shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty to add to your watchlist.

Lovingly dubbed the "yeehaw version" of The Summer I Turned Pretty by fans, Netflix's take on the brother-love-triangle trope is just as addictive as TSITP. Based on a YA Wattpad novel by Ali Novak, it follows recently orphaned teen Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez). After moving from the big city to a country ranch in Colorado, she begins to adjust to life with her mother's friend and her 11 children. She begins to have feelings for brothers Cole Walter and Alex Walter at the same time, leading to turmoil and angst.

From the mind of Jenny Han, creator and writer of The Summer I Turned Pretty, comes an original spinoff from her To All The Boys I've Loved Before trilogy. Following Lara Jean's (Lana Condor) younger sister Kitty Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she settles into boarding school in Seoul, South Korea, this show provides the perfect mix of K-Drama and what we all loved from the TATBILB movies.

Prime Video's newest book-to-screen adaptation hit our screens in June this year, and it's gripping from beginning to end.

If you thought Belly and Conrad's slow-burning relationship spanning five years was agony, One Day focuses on a relationship between Emma (Ambika Mod) and Dexter (Leo Woodall) across 14 years.
