Netflix has officially ordered XO, Kitty Season 2 for Jenny Han’s latest coming-of-age romantic dramedy, based on the hit To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film trilogy. The renewal comes after nearly a month since the series spin-off debuted its first ten episodes, which ranked in the streamer’s Top 10 in 90 countries during its first week.
Further details about the next installment are still being kept under wraps, but the main cast members are expected to return including Anna Cathcart, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Gia Kim, Choi Min-young, and Anthony Keyvan. The first season ended with Kitty flying back home after getting expelled from the Korean Independent School of Seoul.
“Teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey thinks she knows everything there is to know about love,” reads the synopsis. “But when she moves halfway across the world to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, she’ll soon realize that relationships are a lot more complicated when it’s your own heart on the line.”
XO, Kitty is a half-hour-long YA comedy-drama directed by Jennifer Arnold, Jeff Chan, Pamela Romanowsky, and Katina Medina Mora. Joining Cathcart is Choi Min-Yeong (Dream Palace) as Dae, Anthony Keyvan (Love, Victor) as Q, Peter Thurnwald (Players) as Alex, Regan Aliyah (Club Mickey Mouse) as Juliana, Yunjin Kim (Lost) as Jina, Michael K. Lee as Professor Lee, and Jocelyn Shelfo (The Summer I Turned Pretty) as Madison, with newcomers Gia Kim as Yuri and Sang Heon Lee as Min Ho.
XO, Kitty is created and executive produced by author Jenny Han, who is serving as the showrunner with Sascha Rothchild. It’s also still unclear whether or not some of the film’s cast would also be making an appearance in the series. It is a production by ACE Entertainment and Awesomeness Studios. It is executive produced by Rothchild and Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment. The pilot is co-written by Han and Siobhan Vivian.
Based on Han’s best-selling book series, the film trilogy starred Lana Condor (Deadly Class), Noah Centineo (Black Adam), John Corbett (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll), Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), and 13 Reasons Why’s Ross Butler. It was a breakout hit for Netflix, garnering solid viewership across all three films and receiving highly positive reviews from critics across the board.
