Anirudh Pisharody plays handsome private school student Nirdesh — Des for short — on season 3 of Netflix's "Never Have I Ever." He's the son of of one Devi's mom's friends who's definitely not the "dork" Devi thinks he is.

If you're even slightly in the loop, you know that Amazon Prime Video's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" was one of 2022's buzziest television shows. On the series, which is based on Jenny Han's book series of the same name, Lola Tung's Belly Conklin has been harboring major feelings for one boy and one boy only: Conrad Fisher! Christopher Briney brings the brooding brother to life on screen, pout and all.
_
Conrad isn't the only Fisher in the picture, though! "The Summer I Turned Pretty" found its Jeremiah Fisher, the more carefree and cheerful brother, in Gavin Casalegno. As any fan of the series knows, Belly develops feelings for him… while still harboring deeper feelings for his older brother.

You might remember him from "Shameless," but Jeremy Allen White really shines on FX on Hulu's 2022 hit "The Bear." The Brooklyn native plays Carmy Berzatto, a young, ultra-talented chef who leaves the fine dining world of New York City and returns to Chicago to run his late brother's beef sandwich shop. A high-strung but well-intentioned and incredibly hardworking man? Dreamy, honestly. He makes a sandwich almost as well as he wears a white T-shirt!
_
Oscar Isaac became a Marvel Comics star after landing the lead role on Disney+'s "Moon Knight." He plays the titular complicated vigilante Marc Spector, an American mercenary who has dissociative identity disorder, as well as his alter ego, Steven Grant, a British gift shop employee.
_
Which "Stranger Things" character has continued to set our hearts aflame on the hit Netflix series? Steve Harrington, obviously. The endearing Hawkins, Indiana, teen — who's played to perfection by Joe Keery — not only has dashing good looks and enviable hair but is a town hero (given the number of times he's risked his life with the crew). That definitely counts for something!
_
On FX's "Atlanta," Donald Glover plays Earn Marks, a hyper-intelligent Princeton dropout who starts managing his cousin, rapper Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry). The third season, which debuted in 2022, shows Earn at his most successful and put-together.

On Netflix's "The Last Kingdom," Germany-born actor Alexander Dreymon plays Uhtred son of Uhtred, an unparalleled warrior who's torn between two worlds: Though born an aristocratic Christian Saxon, he's raised by pagan Vikings and constantly forced to choose, carefully, where his loyalties lie as he embarks on a journey to claim his birthright as the heir of Bebbanburg.
_
That hair! That beard! Those muscles! Scottish actor Mark Rowley (middle) plays Finan, a fiercely brave (and easy on the eyes) Irish warrior on "The Last Kingdom" who fights alongside Uhtred.
_
Did we think we'd find this hairstyle attractive? No, but Lithuanian actor Arnas Fedaravicius' Sihtric of "The Last Kingdom" fame wears it well! His loyalty to Uhtred is only matched by his skills as a warrior on the fan-favorite Netflix series.
_
Neil Patrick Harris has played his fair share of iconic characters over the course of his career and we love him just as much on "Uncoupled." On the 2022 Netflix series, NPH stars as Michael Lawson, a New York City real estate agent who's thrust into the world of dating for the first time in nearly two decades after his partner (Tuc Watkins) suddenly dumps him.
_
Love him or hate him, Dominic Fike's Elliot from HBO's "Euphoria" is pretty dreamy… even though he comes in between Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer). From his bleached blonde hair to his oddly endearing face tattoo to his impressive musical abilities, there's an alternative, sad-boy hottie in this character.
_
Jacob Elordi's Nate Jacobs is probably one of the most unlikeable characters on streaming TV. Still, the "Euphoria" villain's good looks are unfortunately too apparent to overlook. Yes, he sucks. And yes, he's really attractive.
_
The son of a conservative media mogul and powerful corporate connector, Evan Mock's Aki Menzies from HBO Max's "Gossip Girl" is no stranger to the finer things in life. But in addition to his extreme wealth, this Park Avenue prince also has innocent, boyish charm in spades.

_
KJ Apa has been dying his hair bright orange to portray "Riverdale" lead Archie Andrews since 2017. Archie, who's notably dated Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) and Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), isn't just a cutie — he's also considered a standup guy in a town filled with questionable, untrustworthy characters.
_
What's better than seeing Cole Sprouse back on the small screen? Seeing Cole Sprouse portray a charming, apathetic and deeply cynical teen on the small screen. Since 2017, he's starred on "Riverdale" as Jughead Jones, who develops feelings for Betty and has known Archie since childhood.
