5 hidden gem romances with cozy fall vibes

A couple of weeks ago, I shared 5 hidden gems with cozy fall vibes, spanning murder mysteries, family dramas, comedy, and romance. Y’all showed that list a lot of love, so I’m back with Part 2: the romance edition.

And we’re not talking five interchangeable rom-coms with a leafy backdrop. We’ve got enemies-to-lovers tension, supernatural twists, literary yearning, a modern fairy tale, and one movie that may emotionally destroy you. In other words, a little something for every romantic this cozy season.

Plus, for those of you following along on my Dancing with the Stars Season 35 journey, I’m sharing every thought I had during Week 2 ahead of tonight’s new episode!

If you want enemies-to-lovers tension:

Emily Bader (People We Meet on Vacation) stars as Lady Jane opposite Edward Bluemel as Guildford. They're forced to marry, and their enemies-to-lovers chemistry is off the charts, with all the banter, tension, and yearning you could ask for. And then there’s the completely unhinged magical realism of it all that I won’t spoil, but makes for a perfect cozy season watch in the lead-up to Halloween (no, you won’t be scared). The show fully commits to its own ridiculousness, which is exactly what makes it so charming. 

Autumn credentials: English castles and countryside, candlelit rooms, horseback rides, sumptuous period costumes, and plenty of cloaks. Add in a little magic and a whole lot of yearning, and it practically begs to be watched with a hot apple cider.

If you want to be emotionally destroyed:
