Shows that feel likeGossip Girl (2007–2012)

An exclusive group of privileged teens from a posh prep school on Manhattan's Upper East Side whose lives revolve around the blog of the all-knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl.

If you loved Gossip Girl, the closest series we have are The O.C. (2003), Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023) and Off Campus (2026). All three share Gossip Girl's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022).
