There's nothing like the emptiness that comes after finishing a good show. If you, like the rest of us, got swept away by the college world of Off Campus and its fake-dating-to-real-romance storyline between music student Hannah Wells and hockey captain Garrett Graham, then you might be searching for a new show to fill the void it's left behind.
Based on Elle Kennedy five-book series of the same name, the first season takes on the first book in the series. Much like Bridgerton, each book follows are different couple, creating a strong possibility for even more seasons in the future. But until then, we're going to have to look elsewhere for our next romance fix.
Whether it's a passionate enemies-to-lovers storyline or a classic love triangle, these seven TV shows have all the young love and yearning you're after.
1. Maxton Hall
Where to stream: Amazon Prime
Based on Mona Kasten's Save Me novels, this German series follows the enemies-to-lovers romance between the hard-working scholarship student Ruby Bell and arrogant millionaire heir James Beaufort. It might be a tale as old as time but the chemistry between the two leads and the classic academia aesthetic make it a particularly fun watch.
2. Heated Rivalry
Where to stream: Amazon Prime
This now-viral Canadian romance series stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, two Major League Hockey players drawn together in a fierce rivalry and intense desire. Season one is an adaptation of the first book in Rachel Reid's six book hockey romance series, with season two taking on the next one.
3. Rivals
Where to stream: Disney +
Based on Dame Jilly Cooper's legendary Rutshire Chronicles, Rivals follows the romances and scandals of the polo-playing class in the British countryside. The push-and-pull dynamic between playboy MP Rupert Campbell-Black and young Taggie O'Hara, alongside the extra-marital affairs of almost everyone else in their vicinity, makes for the perfect blend of smut and social satire.
4. My Life with the Walter Boys
Where to stream: Netflix
When an accident throws 15-year-old Jackie Howard's life upside down, she's forced to start again on a ranch in Colorado with nine boys as company. The show has everything you might want from fizzy young adult romance series, with a classic love triangle and plenty of mountainous Colorado scenery adding to the overall mood.
5. The Summer I Turned Pretty
Where to stream: Amazon Prime
Beloved for its hydrangea-adorned Massachusetts coastal setting, depiction of a first love and the complex love triangle between the show's three leads, this young adult romance series is the perfect watch for when you're in the mood for something sweet with a bit of a slow burn.
6. Young Royals
Where to stream: Netflix
This Swedish teen drama is set a prestigious boarding school, where the young Prince Wilhelm of Sweden falls in love with his classmate Simon and is forced to confront his new romance in the public eye. There's already three seasons of this series available, the tender and heartfelt relationship between the leads is worth settling in for.
7. Boys of Tommen
Where to stream: Amazon Prime
The latest BookTok favourite to get the television treatment is Boys Of Tommen, written by Irish author Chloe Walsh. The first season of the show will be based on the first two books of the six book series, which follow “the forbidden love story” between star rugby player, Johnny Kavanaghm, and the smart but shy Shannon Lynch, at a prestigious private school in Ireland.
The show has just started production so check back here for an official release date.
