It’s fair to say Netflix really understands that – tapping into this sub-genre with an eclectic mix of some of the best teen movies and shows around, and not necessarily just appealing to a single demographic, either. Whether you’re teenager or just young at heart, these are some of the best teen movies and shows on Netflix right now. We’ve focused this on Netflix originals, so no matter where you are, you’ll be able to stream all of the entries below. The show that’s been on everyone’s lips and watch lists, Sex Education is a hilarious British high school dramedy, following the lives, loves and sexual journeys of the students of Moordale High. The show has an extremely nuanced cast of characters, tackles a lot of complex social issues, and touches on a range of relevant and timely themes. There’s no shortage of laugh-out-loud moments either. What’s more, its third season is currently in production, so there are a lot more heartwarming-yet-insightful developments still to come. This high school teen romcom and its sequel have taken Netflix by storm. The films follow the romantic escapades of Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and the love letters she sends to her crushes. The To All the Boys… series is a must-watch for anyone who loves their teen romcoms – it’s genuinely entertaining, with winning performances from Condor and love interest Noah Centineo. It also benefits from very striking visuals by cinematographer Michael Fimognari, who also worked on The Haunting of Hill House. To All the Boys… is full of charm and wit, and a third film is on the way. This time-traveling sci-fi adventure, produced by none other than Spike Lee, packs in lots of suspense, drama, and excitement.
