Shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty
XO, Kitty
If you have watched To All the Boys I've Loved Before, check out XO, Kitty. It follows Kitty Covey as she moves to South Korea to reconnect with her long-distance boyfriend. But nothing goes as she expects. The show is cute, funny and chaotic. There is a lot of teen drama and emotional ups and downs that will totally remind you of Belly's journey. The Korean backdrop is super aesthetic, and the characters are fun to watch. Plus, Kitty's confidence (even when things go wrong) is really refreshing.
One Tree Hill
This one is sort of old-school, but still a favorite for drama fans. One Tree Hill is about basketball, brothers, high school love... and a ton of drama. The characters really grow on viewers. It has got that emotional weight like The Summer I Turned Pretty, and the love stories are pretty intense. And the music is good too. If you are looking for something to binge with strong feelings and relatable struggles, this one delivers.
Never Have I Ever
Devi is a whole chaotic mess, in the best way. Never Have I Ever's lead character is unfiltered and super different from Belly. She deals with grief, boy drama, identity stuff, and tons of hilariously awkward moments, all while managing her Indian roots in America. It has got a real heart beneath all the jokes. The show also has a love triangle. If you want something that makes you laugh but also sometimes low-key cry, this is it. Plus, each episode is short, so you can binge-watch it over the weekend.
My Life With the Walter Boys
After a tragedy, Jackie moves to a small town and ends up living with a big, chaotic family, including a few boys who obviously bring on the drama. Think The Summer I Turned Pretty vibes but set in the countryside. The setting's different, but the emotional tone hits close. Viewers will probably get attached to Jackie quickly, and the sibling dynamics are pretty funny too.
Dawson's Creek
Dawson's Creek is super dramatic and full of those 'big' teen emotions. The whole small-town beach vibe feels very The Summer I Turned Pretty. Joey, Dawson, and Pacey have a love triangle of their own that fans still argue about today. Some episodes are slower, but if you like deep conversations, emotional tension, and nostalgic vibes, give it a go. It is the blueprint for every modern teen drama.

Motorheads
If you are into something more fast-paced, Motorheads might surprise you. It is about a group of teens obsessed with cars and racing, but it is not just about the engines. There is romance, friendship, drama, and some really solid character growth. The show might not seem like it fits the TSITP vibe at first, but the characters totally pull you in. And if you like underdog stories, you will probably love this.
Gilmore Girls
This one is a cult classic! Gilmore Girls is less about dramatic love triangles and more about family, friendship, and finding your way. Lorelai and Rory's dynamic is so sweet, and her high school/college journey has its share of boy drama, too. If you want something chill to balance out the TSITP tension, this is like the perfect comfort watch.
