10 Best Shows Like ‘Looking For Alaska’ To Watch If You Miss the Series

We don’t exactly know why but Looking For Alaska made all of us feel like a teenager, and even though the Series is lacking in some ways it makes up for it with the amazing ensemble cast including Charlie Plummer, Kristine Froseth, Denny Love, Landry Bender, and Sofia Vassilieva. Looking For Alaska is based on a novel of the same name by John Green and it follows a group of friends as they go through the trials and tribulations of a school that is filled with rules and bullies. But most of all the series is about teen love and the sadness you feel when you lose it. Looking For Alaska is a Hulu miniseries so a second season is out of the question but we do have a list of shows that you could watch after completing the series.

Synopsis: “I’m a weirdo; that’s what everyone says,” says the very ATYPICAL high school senior Sam (Keir Gilchrist) when we meet him.

As he sets about his quest with his typical absorption, diving into research and taking advice from the people who care about him, Sam soon learns that connecting romantically isn’t as easy as fixing a computer.
