Newlyweds (NBC)
For those who prefer their romance a bit more grown-up and chaotic, NBC's 'Newlyweds' looks like a perfect fit.

Crew Girl (Netflix)
Dive into the competitive and preppy world of elite college rowing with 'Crew Girl'. The YA series follows Teagan (Miku Martineau), who is forced to transfer to a new school after a family scandal. When she finds there’s no girls' rowing team, she joins the boys' crew and immediately finds herself in a classic love triangle with the team's captain and a determined underdog. This show is pure, addictive, teen-drama fun, blending sports rivalry with high-stakes romance. It’s the kind of series you’ll binge in a single weekend, desperately texting your friends to ask which guy she’ll choose.
Hard Feelings (Hulu)
If you like your rom-coms with a healthy dose of sharp, satirical humor, keep an eye out for 'Hard Feelings' on Hulu. Created by and starring comedian Mary Beth Barone, the series follows a sought-after dating consultant in New York City who teaches men emotional intelligence but consistently falls for guys who have none. This A24-produced comedy promises a witty and painfully relatable look at the absurdities of modern dating. Barone’s character, Claire, is an expert at fixing other people's love lives while her own remains a delightful disaster, a premise ripe for both hilarious scenarios and genuine heart.
Committed (BBC/TBD U.S. Distributor)
This one comes with a 'keep an eye out' sticker, as the BBC Northern Ireland production just announced its filming. Starring Dustin Milligan ('Schitt's Creek') and Diona Doherty, 'Committed' follows a Canadian accountant and a Northern Irish woman who have a whirlwind weekend in Toronto. Of course, it doesn't end there. The recently divorced accountant decides to fly across the Atlantic to pursue the connection, setting up a classic fish-out-of-water romance. With a charming cast that includes actors from 'Derry Girls,' this has all the makings of a sweet, funny, and deeply endearing cross-continental love story.
