Netflix's Xo, Kitty continues the story of Kitty Song-Covey, bringing together an impressive cast of up-and-coming actors, led by Anna Cathcart. After helping build her sister Lara Jean's relationship with Peter Kavinsky in the To All The Boys movies, Kitty Song-Covey embarks on a journey of self-discovery and romance at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (Kiss) in Xo, Kitty. The unapologetically young adult rom-com might be packed with clichés and tropes, but it’s still remarkably fun to watch, thanks to the lovable cast.

While Anna Cathcart’s Kitty Song-Covey is the main character of the show, the Netflix rom-com frequently feels like an ensemble show. By the end of Xo, Kitty season 1 where Kitty’s classmates and teachers are just as important. Rather than flattening them down, the writers make the rest of the main and supporting cast three-dimensional. Interestingly, most of the Xo, Kitty actors are up-and-coming,...

It’s official – Xo, Kitty has been renewed for season two. Netflix’s spinoff of the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before films debuted in May 2023 and immediately took over the #2 spot on the most popular English TV list.

“Xo, Kitty takes place in the same universe as To All the Boys, but it’s very much its own world. So fresh audiences can love it and then go back and watch the movies and read the books if they want,” said co-showrunner Sascha Rothchild in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum.

According to Netflix, the spinoff starring Anna Cathcart as Kitty Song Covey has racked up 72.1 million hours of viewing. In addition to Cathcart, the first-season stars Minyeong Choi as Dae, Gia Kim as Yuri,...

Anthony Keyvan agrees with Kitty’s description of Q, his character in Netflix’s “Xo, Kitty” as having a “heart of gold,” adding that he thinks Q would be a “bros before hoes” kind of guy when it comes to some drama at the end of the show.

Q is one of Dae’s (Minyeong Choi) best friends and roommates at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (Kiss), where Kitty’s mom studied abroad for her junior year of high school. Kitty (Anna Cathcart), who first appeared in the film adaptation of Jenny Han’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” (2018), sets off on her own adventures to Kiss in the spinoff show “Xo, Kitty” for two reasons: her mom went there and she’s dating Dae long-distance. Kitty eventually wins over Q, and she even sets him up with French and Greek student Florian (Théo Augier Bonaventure) with her matchmaking skills.

Xo, Kitty is a television series created by Jenny Han and Jennifer Arnold starring Anna Cathcart.

From the hand of the writer Jenny Han comes this new installment of the youth saga that has conquered millions of young people. This time, we will live a adventure in Seoul in which Kitty is reunited with her long-distance boyfriend and, of course, with herself. The series is actually a spinoff of the trilogy To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before in which Kitty played the role of the protagonist’s younger sister.

For the (few) viewers who don’t know: it is specially designed for teenagers, with themes of their interest, entertaining and easy to consume.

Don’t expect anything complicated, good old Jenny Han became known as a young woman who wrote from her own experience and knew how to connect with viewers.

But as revealed in the just-released trailer, spontaneously relocating to Seoul is going to present even more challenges than Kitty expects.

“We all fell so deeply in love with Lara Jean and her story. So it felt like the greatest gift to give to Kitty was to let her as a character kind of set off on her own two feet and not put her in the shadow of either of her sisters,” explained series creator and co-showrunner Jenny Han.

Although the series is a spinoff, co-showrunners Han and Sascha Rothchild say you don’t have to watch To All the Boys to understand Xo, Kitty.
