What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The show stretches a single summer into something that feels both endless and painfully short, using the beach setting and close-knit family rhythms to give every romantic moment a built-in expiration date. A love triangle between one girl and two brothers drives the drama, but the pacing keeps things warm rather than frantic, letting the ache accumulate slowly.

Mother-daughter bonds carry real weight here, running alongside the romance rather than behind it. The friendships and family ties are so tightly woven into the story that choosing between the brothers never feels like a private decision; it ripples outward, touching loyalties that existed long before any romance did. That layering is what keeps the heartbreak from tipping into melodrama.

Netflix • Aug 6, 2026
DramaRomance

After a devastating loss, a smart teenager leaves her familiar city life to live with her guardian’s enormous family in a rural community. As she adjusts to unfamiliar routines, she finds friendship, family bonds, and complicated romantic feelings among the household’s many teenagers.

Why this pick

My Life with the Walter Boys delivers a similar teen love-triangle pull to The Summer I Turned Pretty, built around crowded family life and first-romance nerves. You get close-quarters awkwardness, sweet humor, and the pressure of fitting in, with romance unfolding alongside sibling chaos and new-town friendships.

High Tides

VRT 1 • Apr 3, 2026
Drama

Follows a group of teenagers as they spend the summer at the Belgian seaside while searching for love, friendship and most importantly, for themselves.

Why this pick

High Tides matches The Summer I Turned Pretty with its sun-soaked coming-of-age focus, where summer days stretch into real emotional change. The beach setting stays intimate, the pacing is unhurried, and the tension comes from belonging and identity, with romance and friendship growing quietly rather than exploding into drama.
