Campus Drivers has parked itself in the hearts of viewers across the world. The French-language TV series is Prime Video’s latest romance adaptation. Based on C.S. Quill’s book series, Season 1‘s got all the tropes going for it: friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, a college setting, a reformed bad boy. It’s no wonder Campus Drivers has hit the top of the Prime Video charts shortly after its November 6 premiere.
Lane (Baptiste Masseline) and Lois’ (Carmen Kassovitz) love story is fairly unique in the TV world, which is why its hitting with so many viewers. Lois enrolls at a prestigious university alongside her longtime boyfriend, Max (Enzo Lorente), only to be dumped by him and left without a place to stay. Lane, a cocreator of a student ride-share with his friends, lets her become his new roommate.

Campus Drivers, Season 1, Streaming Now, Prime Video
Youngsol Park / Netflix XO, Kitty‘s Kitty (Anna Cathcart) and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) are giving strong Lois and Lane vibes. A rich bad boy has a prickly relationship with the scholarship student., and then they become best friends before it turns into a romance. XO, Kittymay skew younger — it’s set at a Korean private high school — but it’ll definitely satisfy some of those Campus Drivers cravings. Where to watch: Netflix
XO, Kitty
Everett Collection This one is a bit of a stretch, but Lois and Lane’s situation is remarkably similar to the sitcom New Girl. However,after her breakup, Jess (Zooey Deschanel) moves in with three single guys. The ensuing friends-to-lovers slow burn with her roomie, Nick (Jake Johnson), is one of TV’s best. It’s far funnier and more lighthearted than Campus Drivers, and less romance-focused, but we’d be remiss not to recommend it. Where to watch: Hulu
New Girl
Hulu If your heart was broken by Lois and Lane’s Season 1 ending, just wait until you watch Normal People. Still, Hulu’s limited ser adaptation of Sally Rooney’s friends-to-lovers book is one everyone needs to watch. Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell’s (Paul Mescal) love story has the opposites-attract element and school setting, even going into the couple’s college years for a portion of the show. Don’t say we didn’t warn you about how heartbreaking it is, though. Where to watch: Hulu
Normal People
Netflix If the fancy school setting of Campus Drivers was a draw for you, then Spanish series Elite is up your alley. Granted, it’s a teen drama and has a much darker tone: The Netflix series explores the clash between working-class scholarship students and the wealthy ones at a private school, which results in a murder. Still, there are plenty of romance subplots going on, don’t you worry. Where to watch: Netflix
Elite
HBO Max If you’re looking for an ensemble college-set show, look no further than The Sex Lives of College Girls. Mindy Kaling‘s sharp comedy about our roommates navigating their first year at the prestigious (and fictional) Essex College has plenty of romances. Keep in mind, though, that the show’s overall story is cut short because of its cancellation after Season 3, Still worth the watch, in our opinion. Where to watch: HBO Max
The Sex Lives of College Girls
Josh Stringer / Hulu Of course, we have to include Tell Me Lies, which stars Masseline’s doppelganger Costa D’Angelo in Season 3. That aside, Tell Me Lies features a central romance you’re actively rooting against.College freshman Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) falls for the manipulative Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). Regardless, it’s got a few things in common with Campus Driversif you’re intrigued by a significantly more toxic relationship than Lois and Lane’s. Where to watch: Hulu
Tell Me Lies
Gordon Muehle / Amazon MGM Studios Obviously, we have to include Prime Video’s other big international breakout romance, Maxton Hall — The World Between Us. The German-language series takes place at a fancy school and has the rich boy-scholarship student girl trope with Ruby (Harriet Herbig-Matten) and James (Damian Hardung). Their star-crossed romance is jam-packed with angst as they fight internal and external struggles to be together. Where to watch: Prime Video
Maxton Hall
Liane Hentscher / Prime You knew it was coming. Hockey romance adaptation Off Campus has more in common with Campus Drivers than having “Campus” in the title. Both have a deep friends-to-lovers storyline between the two leads, and strong ensembles that have romances of their own. Even if you’ve already seen Off Campus, Campus Drivers should put you in the mood for a rewatch. Where to watch: Prime Video
