The weekend is the perfect time to relax after a busy week. One way to fill free time is by watching a teen movie whose story can briefly take you away from daily routines.
The teen genre isn’t limited to love stories or school life anymore. There are tales about friendship, family, self‑discovery and ambition. Netflix offers several titles with diverse storylines to accompany your leisure time.
Confused by the many teen movie choices on Netflix? Here are 7 recommendations you can pick to accompany your weekend, ranging from emotional dramas to imaginative fantasy stories.
1. Don’t Say Good Luck (2026)

Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie Birenbaum (played by Sunny Sandler), a high‑school student who gets the chance to star in her school’s musical. However, Sophie must deal with problems that arise at home. This situation makes her on‑stage life and personal issues go hand in hand.
The film blends drama, comedy, music and teenage life. Its emotional and bittersweet tone means the story isn’t limited to school life or the musical performance.
The mix of stage life, family relationships and the issues Sophie faces gives the film a coming‑of‑age story that goes beyond school‑based conflict.
2. Incoming (2024)

Unlike the more emotional Don’t Say Good Luck, Incoming presents a teen comedy set around an intense high‑school party. It follows four students dealing with a chaotic night at the biggest bash of their first week at school. Mason Thames, Ramon Reed and Raphael Alejandro lead the cast.
The film delivers typical high‑school comedy focusing on friendship and partying. It carries an 18+ rating on Netflix Indonesia due to its fairly explicit humor.
Its plot centers on the party and the mayhem experienced by the four protagonists, giving the teen story a faster, more hectic comedic tempo.
3. Do Revenge (2022)

Do Revenge’s story centers on Drea Torres (played by Camila Mendes), a popular student who loses her position in an elite private high‑school setting after an intimate video spreads throughout the school.
She then makes a secret pact with Eleanor Levetan (played by Maya Hawke), a new student who has a problem with a former friend who spread rumors about her. The two team up to take revenge on each other’s adversaries.
The film provides a wittier teen atmosphere with sharp dialogue, rivalry and dark comedy. The blend of friendship, secrets, elite school life and revenge gives Do Revenge the feel of a teen comedy wrapped in a typical teen‑revenge style.
4. The School for Good and Evil (2022)

Sophie (played by Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (played by Sofia Wylie) are best friends with contrasting personalities. Their lives take a turn when they’re both taken to a magical school that prepares its pupils to become figures from fairy‑tale stories.
However, the two discover that their friendship is tested after entering a world that divides students based on good and evil.
The teen film blends fantasy, friendship, sisterhood and a fairy‑tale world with a whimsical, imaginative, epic‑style setting of a school that prepares pupils to become heroes or villains in tales.
The wizarding school setting and the conflict between good and evil give the story a distinct experience from typical teen films set in ordinary school life.
