Shows that feel likeGossip Girl (2007–2012)
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).
If Gossip Girl hit the spot, these will too

Rich kids, an outsider in the mix, and scandal that never stops churning
The difference: Sunlit California and more family warmth — the knives come out less often

High society watching a young woman's every move and judging it aloud
The difference: One tight period romance about a real marriage, not a rolling teen soap

An arrangement between two people that quietly turns into real feeling
The difference: Warm campus romance — no gossip machine, no social ladder to climb

Wealth, summer houses and a love triangle taken very seriously
The difference: Sunlit and sincere, with none of the cruelty

A private school where reputation is the only currency
The difference: Mexican teen musical soap, earnest and much broader

An anonymous scandal sheet deciding who is ruined and who is adored
The difference: Regency corsets and season-long courtships instead of Manhattan cruelty

Wealthy teenagers, endless romantic reshuffling, school as a public stage
The difference: Earnest and issue-driven across ten seasons, with none of the arch narration

A young woman finding her footing among people who judge her on sight
The difference: Kind-hearted courtroom cases and workplace warmth rather than sabotage

Wealth, jealousy and a family fracture that keeps love just out of reach
The difference: Melodrama built for tears, one story straight through, no arch humour

Teenagers behaving like adults, with nobody stopping them
The difference: British, raw and genuinely damaging — no glamour

Contemplative where it counts, romantic underneath
The difference: Sits closer to sci-fi & fantasy than Gossip Girl does

Status and desire made public and impossible to hide from
The difference: Korean, quiet and melancholy, with a sci-fi conceit
