YOUNG AMERICANS: The Complete Seasons

Young Americans was an American television drama on The WB network created by Steven Antin. The show debuted in 2000 as a summer replacement for, and spin-off from, another Columbia TriStar Television production; Dawson's Creek in three episodes at the end of that series' third season.

The show explores themes of forbidden love, morality and social classes.

The show is set in the town of New Rawley at a tiny boarding school, Rawley Academy.

The plot focuses mainly on Will's moral dilemmas and the forbidden love of Scout and Bella.

The characters Jake and Hamilton are explored in a storyline that until the last two episodes has very little to nothing to do with any of the other main characters.

Cast:
* Rodney Scott as Will Krudski, a poor but brilliant young man who cheated on the entrance exam to ensure his admission and with a complicated relationship to his father. The character was first introduced in the episodes "Stolen Kisses", "The Longest Day" and "Show Me Love" of Dawson's Creek where he briefly dates Andie McPhee. When leaving Capeside, Will's friend Pacey Witter offers the advice "Avoid public nudity, stay off drugs, don't murder anyone and don't sleep with any of your teachers," the last piece motivated with "it never works out as well as you think."

* Mark Famiglietti as Scout Calhoun, Will's roommate at Rawley Academy. Scout meets, and dates, Will's old friend Bella.

* Katherine Moennig as Jake Pratt, a discontent teenage girl who masquerades as a boy.

* Ian Somerhalder as Hamilton Fleming, a student at the school and the son of the dean. Hamilton finds himself confused by his attraction to Jake.

* Kate Bosworth as Bella Banks, Will's childhood friend. A pretty townie torn between Scout and fellow New Rawleyian, Sean.

* Ed Quinn as Finn, coach of the rowing team and teacher.
