If You’re Already Obsessed With ‘Every Year After,’ These Shows Need to Be on Your Watchlist

Prime Video’s newest romantic drama ‘Every Year After‘ has arrived at exactly the right moment. The Amazon Original series dropped all eight episodes on June 10, premiering exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world. Based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel ‘Every Summer After,’ the series is adapted and showrun by Amy B. Harris, the executive producer behind ‘The Wilds’ and a writer-producer on the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning ‘Sex and the City.’

Fortune’s source novel spent 16 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list and has sold over one million copies, gaining massive popularity through BookTok. With that kind of fanbase already locked in, it is no surprise that viewers finishing the show are immediately hungry for what comes next. Whether you binged all eight episodes in one sitting or you are pacing yourself, here are the shows that deserve a spot on your queue the moment the credits roll.

The Summer Romance That Started It All

For anyone who has not yet made their way through ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ this is the obvious first stop. Based on Jenny Han’s book trilogy of the same name, the Prime Video original series ran for three short but successful seasons from 2022 to 2025, focusing on the glow-up of Isabel “Belly” Conklin, played by Lola Tung, who finds herself caught in a love triangle between two brothers during summers at Cousins Beach.

TV Guide noted that ‘Every Year After’ shares a lot of DNA with ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ so if the slow-burn longing and lakeside nostalgia of ‘Every Year After’ hit you right in the chest, Han’s series will feel like a natural continuation of that emotional frequency.

The summer of 2025 came to a screeching halt when fans held watch parties and kept their tissue boxes close for the series finale of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty.’ The good news is that a feature-length film will pick up where the beloved characters left off. That means the universe is not entirely closed, and diving back in now is worth every second of beautiful, heartbreaking coastal chaos.

Love Triangles and Found Family on Netflix

If you want something you can lose yourself in for multiple seasons, Netflix’s ‘My Life with the Walter Boys’ is your answer. Based on Ali Novak’s 2012 novel, first published on the fiction site Wattpad, the show follows a 15-year-old girl named Jackie who loses her family in a car accident and has to leave her life in Manhattan for a new one in Colorado, where she moves in with her mom’s best friend and her boisterous family of ten kids. Jackie finds herself torn between two of the Walter boys, the broody, athletic Cole and the sensitive, smart Alex.

The series captures that same feeling of summer romance and family bonds that made ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ so captivating, and as of 2025, it has been commissioned for a third season. The emotional parallels to ‘Every Year After’ run deep here, particularly around the themes of grief, first love, and the kind of bonds that quietly reshape who you are. The show hit number one on Netflix’s top TV shows chart in the U.S. just one day after it premiered, so clearly the appetite for exactly this kind of story is enormous.

The Hockey Romance That Has Prime Video Buzzing

Fans of ‘Every Year After’ looking for a more college-set counterpart should look no further than Prime Video’s own ‘Off Campus.’ The drama, which stars Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli, follows an elite hockey team and the women in their lives as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, forging deep friendships and navigating the complexities of transitioning into adulthood.

Prime Video’s recent investment in YA-leaning romance series following the success of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ is precisely what fast-tracked the production of ‘Off Campus,’ and the show has already been renewed for a second season.

The first season follows the opposites-attract romance between quiet songwriter Hannah and Briar University’s all-star hockey athlete Garrett. The show brings that same bittersweet ache of two people who seem wrong for each other on paper but can’t stay away, which is exactly the emotional engine running underneath ‘Every Year After.’ If you loved watching Percy and Sam navigate their years of missed timing, the push and pull dynamic of ‘Off Campus’ will feel immediately familiar.

A Korean Campus Romance That Keeps Getting Better

For viewers who want their YA romance with a side of international flair, Netflix’s ‘XO, Kitty’ has been delivering consistently charming seasons. The series first premiered on May 18, 2023, and serves as a spinoff of the ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ film series, following Kitty Song-Covey as she navigates her final year at KISS.

Season 3 of ‘XO, Kitty’ arrived in April of 2026 and embraces the messiness of being a senior at school, with Kitty and Minho possibly heading toward an actual relationship instead of just a case of staring longingly at each other.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the show currently holds a critics score of 82 percent, with Mashable praising it for leaning into its protagonist’s imperfections and impulsive decisions. The show’s breezy tone and emotionally layered relationships make it a wonderful companion piece to ‘Every Year After,’ particularly for viewers who enjoy watching characters repeatedly get in their own way when it comes to love.

A Coming-of-Age Love Story That Is About to End

If you want to feel things deeply one more time before summer ends, ‘Heartstopper’ on Netflix deserves your full attention. The series follows Charlie, a high-strung, openly gay overthinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, whose friendship slowly becomes something more. The final installment of the franchise, titled ‘Heartstopper Forever,’ is a feature-length film set to premiere on Netflix on July 17, 2026, wrapping up Nick and Charlie’s love story for good.

Kit Connor and Joe Locke will reprise their roles as Nick and Charlie while also serving as executive producers on the film, with Alice Oseman writing the script. The gentle pacing and profound emotional honesty that define ‘Heartstopper’ share a real kinship with ‘Every Year After’s’ approach to first love, and watching it now means you can be part of the cultural moment when the finale arrives in July.

If Percy and Sam’s story left you sitting quietly in your feelings, wondering whether first loves are ever truly finished, you will absolutely want to weigh in on whether Nick and Charlie’s ending brings the closure this generation of romance fans deserves.
