->"They're very strange,"

->--Hamilton and Jake
''Young Americans'' is a [[ShortRunner short-lived]] series by Creator/TheWB. It is a {{spin off}} of ''Series/DawsonsCreek'' made in 2000 by the WB. It only lasted a season of eight episodes. There was a large fan effort to get the WB to re-commission a second season, which failed.
The series is centered around the [[ElaborateUniversityHigh prestigious]] [[BoardingSchool Rawley Academy]] which is situated in the poorer small town Rawley. The main characters are Will Krudski (Rodney Scott), who entered the academy through a forged entrance paper and is of questionable background, and maybe [[BrotherSisterIncest half-siblings]] Scout Calhoun (Creator/MarkFamiglietti), a Rawley student, and Bella Banks (Creator/KateBosworth), a townie. Will narrates the start and finish of every episode. However, sub-plot characters Jake Pratt (Creator/KatherineMoennig), Hamilton Fleming (Creator/IanSomerhalder), and Finn (Creator/EdQuinn) become more prominent as the series continues, Hamilton being the son of the dean and the art teacher, Jake being a SweetPollyOliver in a Boys school to see if her mother would notice, and Finn being a coach of the rowing team.
!!Tropes Include:
* CentralTheme: Youthful idealism; in the pilot Finn tells the rowing team that this might be the last time in their lives when their hopes outmeasure their disappointments, and to make the most of it.
* {{Expy}}: The show takes obvious cues from its [[Series/DawsonsCreek parent series]]; Will is Dawson, Scout is Pacey, Bella is Joey.
* MostWritersAreWriters: Will is an aspiring author.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: ''Series/DawsonsCreek'' introduces a new character, Will Krudski, into the gang for three episodes in Season 3. Will is the protagonist for ''Young Americans''.
* ProductPlacement: To the point where the show was actually credited on-screen as ''Coca-Cola Presents Young Americans''.
* SweetOnPollyOliver: Hamilton is quite smitten with Jake and rather relieved once he finds out that Jake is actually a girl pretending to be a boy.
* WrenchWench: Bella Banks. She is a high school student who works as a mechanic at her dad's auto repair shop.
