There's a lot to love about Outer Banks [1]. The hot and fun cast [2]! The nonstop drama with everyone [3]! Even the impeccable fashion [4]. But what ever will we do while we wait to see if this teen drama gets a second season [5]? Well, we just have to find something else to kill time. Ahead, find 15 movies and TV shows that feature a lot of the same themes, namely teenage angst and drama. You'll also find some teen romance and class disparity, just like the Kooks and the Pogues in Outer Banks [6]. Check them all out and then hop over to some drool-worthy photos of the Outer Banks cast shirtless [7].
All-American
All-American has more of that class and culture disparity that is at the forefront of Outer Banks [9], but it comes about in the form of football instead.
Watch All-American on Netflix [10].
Dynasty
If Outer Banks [11] felt a little bit like a teen soap to you, then you should try Dynasty, which is definitely a teen soap drama all about the money.
Watch Dynasty on Netflix [12].
Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl [13] is the epitome of teenage drama and class disparity. There's also plenty of deceit among Upper East Siders and a never-ending quest to be rich.

I Am Not Okay With This
Syd in I Am Not Okay With This is different, much like how the Pogues in Outer Banks [15] are too.
Watch I Am Not Okay With This on Netflix [16].
Riverdale
The teens in Riverdale [17] are a little more absurd than those in Outer Banks [18], but the show has a lot of the same dark themes.
Watch Riverdale on Netflix [19].
Skins
Teens behaving badly? That's exactly what Skins is, but only the British version of this show that was also adapted for the US. It's a raw and real look at teen life and will evoke the same feelings of teens going rogue like in Outer Banks [20].
Watch Skins on Netflix [21].
The Society
The Society has a much more supernatural bent than Outer Banks [22], but you'll still experience that teenage angst and tension.

Spinning Out
Lean into the love story of Outer Banks [24] with the love story in Spinning Out that's got a side of ice skating with it.

13 Reasons Why
13 Reasons Why [26] is maybe a bit darker than Outer Banks [27] but it still encompasses that drama between teens, just without the massive treasure hunt.
Watch 13 Reasons Why on Netflix [28].
Trinkets
Outer Banks [29] has a clear distinction between classes until some characters break down those walls. Trinkets has a similar theme of unlikely people coming together to form a sort-of friendship.
Watch Trinkets on Netflix [30].
The Vampire Diaries
Outer Banks [31] may not have vampires or anything supernatural at all, but it has all the teenage drama and romance that The Vampire Diaries does.
Watch The Vampire Diaries on Netflix [32].
The Bling Ring
The characters in The Bling Ring aren't searching for a lost ship full of treasure, per se, but they are breaking into houses for fame and fortune.

The Edge of Seventeen
The Edge of Seventeen is a great depiction of typical teenage angst, which is also prevalent in Outer Banks [34].

The Last Summer
The summertime vibe — and the teens — of The Last Summer will take you right back to the water in Outer Banks [36].
Watch The Last Summer on Netflix [37].
Can't Hardly Wait
Throw it back to Can't Hardly Wait, which gives you a little bit of everything: a divide between the haves and have-nots, teenage angst, a little bit of romance, and hope for their future after high school.
