The New Year is truly underway! It's time to shake off the lingering January blues and look positively to the year ahead. More importantly, the season of love is upon us! Whether you're spending Valentine's Day alone or with someone special, there's no better time to revisit an old classic or discover a new favorite show. Fortunately, ABC, Freeform, and FX have a perfect mix of romantic comedies and heart-warming series to get you in the spirit of the season. With that in mind, here are just a selection of the incredible shows and movies that you can watch this Valentine's Day!
ABC
One of the greatest joys of the Valentine's Day season can be seeing other couples come together. So, what better way to get you in the romantic mood than by watching a host of singletons try to win over Mr. Right in The Bachelor? It's the perfect time to catch up on all the drama from Season 26 so far. Alternatively, why not revisit a previous season or relive the emotional ups and downs with highlights from past seasons of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise?
If you're in the mood for something different, don't worry! ABC has plenty of great series for you. Valentine's Day is a great reason to cuddle up with a loved one and binge one of the many great comedies available. Catch up on the latest episodes of black-ish, The Goldbergs, and Home Economics, or revisit old favorites like Samantha Who? or Ugly Betty.
Freeform
While there are plenty of options for the perfect Valentine's Day date, there's a simple joy to dinner and a movie. Thankfully, Freeform has an excellent choice of films available for a variety of different tastes! With classic rom-coms, such as the unforgettable 50 First Dates and the fabulous Dirty Dancing, there's sure to be something to suit your personal preferences. There's also a host of great Freeform originals that are perfect for the season, including Beauty and the Briefcase and The Thing About Harry.
Of course, romantic movies may not be for everyone but that doesn't mean you're out of luck - there are plenty of alternatives available that make for a great Valentine's Day viewing. In the mood for a fairy tale romance? You have Mirror Mirror, starring Lily Collins and the irreplaceable Julia Roberts. Alternatively, if you are a fan of a thrilling story, why not The Perfect Guy, the tale of a woman who begins a relationship with a man who might be too good to be true. But if you want something to space out over multiple nights, now is the perfect time to dive into the latest season of grown-ish, as Zoey gets ready for graduation, or Freeform's newest hit show Single Drunk Female.
FX
Of course, not all great love stories fall directly into the trappings of your typical rom-com, and FX is the place to find them! For crazy antics that make you laugh out loud, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to catch up on the latest season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Love an animated show? Then you can find out how the Belchers keep romance alive while trying to run a business and raise their children in the Valentine's-themed episodes (and beyond) of Bob's Burgers.
If you're in the mood for movies then you can also check out The Shape of Water for a glimpse into the strangely beautiful relationship between a janitor and her other-worldly boyfriend in Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning romantic fantasy. There's also Deadpool and Deadpool 2 to offer you a healthy dose of heart-felt romance interspersed with its action and laugh-out-loud comedy moments. On the other hand, you can catch Alien: Covenant or A Quiet Place if you're looking for something a little spookier so that you can get cozy with that special someone.
Whatever way you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day, and whomever you choose to spend it with, you can find all these movies, shows, and more on ABC, Freeform, and FX.
