Here’s your curated list of what to watch next, with the VidAngel twist:

The Buccaneers (Apple TV+)

Think of it as TSITP with ball gowns. American girls crash into 1870s London high society, bringing love triangles, scandal, and forbidden romance. Basically Cousins Beach, but with corsets and way more tea.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (Netflix)

The original Jenny Han adaptation. If you loved the sweet, awkward chaos of Belly’s love life, Lara Jean’s secret love letters gone public will hit all the same beats with slightly fewer Taylor Swift ballads.

My Life With the Walter Boys (Netflix)

Another “girl caught between two brothers” setup. If you thought Cousins Beach drama was peak angst, imagine moving in with an entire household of Walter brothers.

Firefly Lane (Netflix)

Instead of summer crushes, you’ll get decades of female friendship, heartbreak, and forgiveness. The drama grows up, but the tears don’t stop.

Outlander (Starz / Netflix)

Time travel, kilts, and a romance that is as epic as it is steamy. Think TSITP but with more swords and significantly more Scottish accents.

Bridgerton (Netflix)

For those who liked the longing stares and “will-they-won’t-they” of Belly and Conrad, Bridgerton cranks up the romance, costumes, and orchestral pop covers.

Daisy Jones & the Six (Prime Video)

Love triangles, messy relationships, and music that sounds like it was pulled straight out of your parents’ vinyl collection. It is TSITP if Belly picked up a mic.

Pride & Prejudice (2005, film)

Enemies-to-lovers tension, complicated families, and a heroine caught between pride, passion, and expectation. It is basically the Regency-era blueprint for Belly’s own love story.

Little Women (2019, film)

Sisters navigating love, ambition, and heartbreak, minus the Cousins Beach volleyball. If you loved Belly’s tug-of-war between family and romance, you’ll find echoes here.

Long Bright River (upcoming series)

For when you’re ready to swap beach house drama for gritty, emotional storytelling. It is not lighthearted, but it digs into sisterhood with the same raw honesty Han fans love.

XO, Kitty (Netflix)

Jenny Han’s spinoff about Lara Jean’s younger sister navigating love and culture shock abroad. It has all the To All the Boys charm with its own dose of teen chaos.

Queen’s Gambit (Netflix)

Romance is subtle here, but the coming-of-age storytelling and one girl’s determination to make her mark will resonate with fans who love Belly’s growth arc.

Sanditon (PBS / Netflix)

An Austen-inspired seaside romance. Perfect if you want to keep the “beach plus love triangle” vibe but in corsets instead of bikinis.

Friday Night Lights (Prime Video)

Small-town dynamics, teen drama, and a love triangle or two. Just with football under the lights instead of bonfires on the sand.

The Better Sister (Prime Video)

Sisters, secrets, and betrayals collide in this thriller. If you loved the family drama side of TSITP, this takes it to the next level.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (BBC/Netflix)

If you liked Belly’s teen drama but wish someone solved a crime in between kisses, this adaptation balances angst with mystery.

Ready to Start Your Next Binge?

With VidAngel, you still get all the romance, drama, and emotional storytelling that made you fall for The Summer I Turned Pretty while skipping the moments you would rather avoid. Just connect your Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, or other streaming subscriptions and set your filters.

From steamy period pieces to angsty teen romances, every title on this list is easier to love when you are in control of what stays and what goes. No more scrambling for the remote. No more awkward pauses on family movie night. Just stories you love, without the stuff you don’t.

Your Cousins Beach hangover does not have to drag on. Pick your next show, set your filters, and let yourself get hooked all over again. The only cliffhanger left is deciding which love triangle to fall into first.

If you’re watching The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video, you’ll hear more than just beach waves, beautifully placed Taylor Swift songs, and teenagers whispering about who likes who. You’ll also get a healthy dose of profanity—plenty more than what Jenny Han actually wrote into the books.

Books vs. Show: Where All That Swearing Came From

In the novels, the profanity is light. A handful of swear words here and there, but nothing that would make you clutch your pearls or scramble for the mute button. They’re easy reads, perfectly sentimental, and (mostly) PG.

The show, though? Different story. They sprinkled in “extra flavor” that wasn’t on the page. And by flavor, we mean F-words. A lot of them. Season one alone clocks in at 179 counts of profanity and 40 f-bombs. By season three, you’re looking at 276 counts of profanity and 60 F-bombs. To put this in perspective, the average TV-14 show contains about 15-30 instances of profanity per episode. TSITP significantly exceeds this average.

If you came for the Jenny Han beach romance, you may not want all the language that rides shotgun with the TV adaptation. Especially if you’re watching with actual teenagers (or your mother-in-law, who will ask out loud, “What books are you allowing your daughter to read?”).

How to Filter Out TSITP’s Profanity with VidAngel

That’s where VidAngel comes in. We let you keep the love triangles, the Taylor Swift needle drops, and the emotional chaos of whether Belly should pick Conrad or Jeremiah, without the constant language barrage.

Because honestly, juggling a love triangle with two brothers is already enough of a hurdle. Jeremiah rage-baits you every Wednesday night—no extra seasoning required. He’s already pushing for 70% cacao; let’s keep movie night at 0% profanity. That’s our thing. We each get one thing.
