6 movies and shows to watch on Netflix if you like After We Collided

Looking for something like After We Collided on Netflix? You’ve come to the right place! In fact, there’s a plethora of similar movies and shows on the streaming service with just as much romance, equally as complex of relationships, and all the drama you could ever possibly yearn for in a flick or series binge session. So let’s get to it!

If you’re unfamiliar with the follow-up to After, here’s the rollercoaster premise for After We Collided.

Netflix describes the plot as:

"Tessa fell hard and fast for Hardin, but after a betrayal tears them apart, she must decide whether to move on — or trust him with a second chance."

Be sure to note, viewer discretion is advised with this one. Starring Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and Dylan Sprouse, After We Collided looks to be intended for a slightly more mature audience than its predecessor, receiving an R rating instead of the PG-13 rating given to After.

So without further ado, here are six titles to watch on Netflix if you like After We Collided.

1. After on Netflix

If you haven’t watched the first installment yet and you’re looking for something like After We Collided, this is the most sensible, if not most obvious, place to start. After all, knowing where this love story began definitely makes what comes next all the more interesting.

Netflix describes the plot as:

"Wholesome college freshman Tessa Young thinks she knows what she wants out of life, until she crosses paths with complicated bad boy Hardin Scott."

2. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix

This highly buzzed about 2018 film is still making a name for itself on Netflix, and for good reason. The Rotten Tomatoes Critic Consensus says that while this one “plays by the teen rom-com rules,” the relatable characters and thoroughly charming cast “more than make up for a lack of surprises.”

Sometimes, we just sort of want to know what happens next, am I right?

Netflix describes the synopsis for this romance drama as:

"When her secret love letters somehow get mailed to each of her five crushes, Lara Jean finds her quiet high school existence turned upside down."

3. The Notebook on Netflix

It’s hard to imagine you haven’t seen The Notebook yet, but if that is your current reality, you’re in for a real treat. Do yourself a favor and add this one to your watch-list now, especially if you’re looking for a romantic movie based on a book full of young love, loss, and pining for the one that you just can’t live without.

And be quick! The Notebook is sadly leaving Netflix on December 31, 2020.

Netflix describes the plot as:

"Two young lovers are torn apart by war and class differences in the 1940s in this adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s best-selling novel."

4. The Kissing Booth on Netflix

One of the most binged movies in the country when it came out, The Kissing Booth is definitely worth a watch or two, especially if budding, yet complicated, teen romances full of familiar twists and coming-of-age turns is what you seek.

Netflix describes the plot as:

"When teenager Elle’s first kiss leads to a forbidden romance with the hottest boy in high school, she risks her relationship with her best friend."

5. Friends From College on Netflix

While this Netflix original series only has two seasons under its belt, both are absolutely worth binging. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll root for true love, despite all the odds. In the end, the warm fuzzy feels provided by this nostalgia-heavy tale of complex romances and complicated friendships will leave you wishing there was a season 3. I promise.

6. Riverdale on Netflix

This buzzed-about CW drama mystery series stars Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and KJ Apa. The Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus says Riverdale season 1 is an “amusingly self-aware reimagining of its classic source material that proves eerie, odd, daring, and above all addictive,” and chances are, it might be just what you’re looking for.

Netflix describes the plot as:

"While navigating the troubled waters of sex, romance, school and family, teen Archie and his gang become entangled in a dark Riverdale mystery."
