High School Musical: The Musical: The Series introduces members of the drama club and their faculty advisors as they prepare for the opening night of the musicals they stage at East High School.

GG (as the name of Gossip Girl is often referred to) is a cunning and enigmatic blogger who spills all the latest scandals and secrets of others. The show is jam-packed with backstabbing, mystery, deceit, romance, and drama. Who wouldn’t love this show, with its seemingly endless drama, mystery, and scandal?

3. One of Us is Lying

One of Us is Lying is based on the New York Times bestselling novel by author Karen M. McManus. The premise is a classic who-done-it but with a youthful and edgy twist. The story centers around five high schoolers: Simon, Copper, Nate, Addy, and Bronwyn. During their stint in detention, Simon is murdered, thus leaving the other four remaining students under suspicion. This series is a classic who done it but with a youthful twist that many YA’s can enjoy. YEM was able to do an interview with the cast of One of Us is Lying here!

4. Never Have I Ever

YEM appreciates this series as it features a diverse cast with strong Indian and Asian representation.

5. Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

A series of sad occurrences nearly tore Millwood apart twenty years ago. Now, in the present day, a brand-new group of Little Liars is being tormented by an unidentified attacker.
