Grand Army, Netflix‘s latest teen drama, follows the lives of a group of high school students in Brooklyn. Together, they weather the highs and lows of being a teen today, dealing with serious topics like gun violence, racism and sexual assault. The series, which first premiered earlier this month, follows the lives of Joey Del Marco (Odessa A’zion), Dominique Pierre (Odley Jean), Siddhartha Pakam (Amir Bageria), Jayson Jackson (Maliq Johnson), Leila Kwan Zimmer (Amalia Yoo), John Ellis (Alphonso Romero Jones II) and more.
After seeing all of Season 1, we can’t wait to see where Season 2 takes the Grand Army classmates. Unfortunately, we don’t have a clear timeline for when Grand Army Season 2 will premiere, and we’re still waiting on Netflix to confirm a possible second season of the series. Thankfully, Netflix has plenty of shows to choose from to help fill the Grand Army-shaped void in our lives.
Looking for a show like Grand Army to stream now that you’re done with Season 1? We’ve got you covered. From All American and On My Block, to The Society and Dear White People, Netflix has got plenty of similar shows to choose from. We’ve rounded up a few to queue up after your Grand Army binge, and if you watch them all, they just might keep you busy until we get some news about Season 2.
'On My Block'
Much like Grand Army, On My Block also follows a group of high school students navigating the ups and downs of teenage life. The series, which comes from creators Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez, Jeremy Haft, stars Monse (Sierra Capri), Ruby (Jason Genao), Jamal (Brett Gray) and Cesar (Diego Tinoco), four close-knit friends all attending high school in South Central Los Angeles. There are already three full seasons ready to binge on Netflix, the most recent of which premiered this spring.
'Degrassi: Next Class'
Degrassi: Next Class is the final series in the popular Degrassi franchise. As the sequel to Degrassi: The Next Generation, Next Class is a fresh reboot on the Canadian teen TV classic, bringing a Gen Z update to the high school series. Next Class takes place at Degrassi Community School, but there’s a new cast of students dealing with issues of their own. There are four full, 10-episode seasons of Degrassi: Next Class on Netflix, which is the series’ U.S. streaming home. Sadly, it was canceled by Netflix in 2019.
'All American'
The CW’s football drama, All American, follows Spencer James (Daniel Ezra), an athlete and star student who leaves South Crenshaw High for football coach Billy Baker’s (Taye Diggs) team in Beverly Hills. In order to transfer to his new school, Spencer has to move in with Billy and his family, where he clashes with the coach’s son, Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), but connects with his daughter, Olivia (Samantha Logan). We’ve got two full seasons of All American, and we’re waiting on a third.
'13 Reasons Why'
Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why brings the world of Jay Asher’s novel to life. The 2017 drama follows the aftermath of Hannah’s (Katherine Langford) suicide. The high school student left behind a box of recordings after her death, and her classmate Clay (Dylan Minnette) tries to piece together what happened as he listens. The series stirred up plenty of controversy when it premiered a few years back, but it finally wrapped up with Season 4 earlier this year.
'Trinkets'
Trinkets, a short-lived series on Netflix, follows three friends who meet in a Shoplifter’s Anonymous meeting. Elodie Davis (Brianna Hildebrand), Moe Truax (Kiana Madeira), and Tabitha Foster (Quintessa Swindell) bond over their habit and help each other through issues with family, school, and growing up. Trinkets, which comes from a 2013 novel by Kirsten Smith, was canceled after just two seasons on the streamer, but both are still available to watch right now.
'The Society'
The Society, Netflix’s take on “Lord of the Flies,” follows a group of teens left to fend for themselves after a mysterious event leaves them on their own in their small New England town. They struggle trying to form their own small functioning universe, while also trying to solve the mystery of how they even got there in the first place. And while they may be setting up their own government and trying to keep the peace amongst their peers, they’re still dealing with the same issues as any other teens.
'Sex Education'
Sex Education, a British comedy-drama that landed on Netflix, follows Otis (Asa Butterfield), an insecure and awkward teen who lives with his sex therapist mother, Jean, (Gillian Anderson). Although he’s never actually had sex, Otis becomes a popular resource for his classmates, who turn to him for advice he’s picked up, thanks to his mom. There are currently two seasons of Sex Education on Netflix, and there’s another one on the way!
'Outer Banks'
Outer Banks follows a crew of best friends in North Carolina known as “The Pogues” who spend their summer getting into trouble and hunting for a treasure. John B (Chase Stokes), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and JJ (Rudy Pankow) set off on a mission to find out what happened to John B’s missing father, but they discover so much more along the way. The series was a hit when it premiered on Netflix this spring, and thankfully, Season 2 is already underway.
'Dear White People'
Dear White People, a TV series based on the film of the same name, follows a group of students of color at the elite fictional Winchester University. There, they encounter bias, deal with sometimes misguided activism and politics of the school, which is predominantly white. Dear White People, which has three seasons on Netflix, stars Logan Browning, Brandon P Bell, DeRon Horton, Antoinette Robertson, John Patrick Amedori and more. Season 4 has been confirmed, but we don’t have a release date just yet.
'Baby'
Baby, Netflix’s Italian drama series about teens who attend an elite school by day and work as prostitutes by night, is based on a true story that happened in Rome back in 2013, when two high schoolers were involved in a prostitution ring. Baby follows Chiara (Benedetta Porcaroli) and Ludovica (Alice Pagani), two teens who team up and explore sex work in their secret life as prostitutes. The series lasted on Netflix for 3 seasons, but came to an end earlier this year.
