Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” spinoff series, “XO, Kitty,” is coming to romance-lovers everywhere this May. On April 25, the streamer released the full trailer for the new show, which follows Kitty Song-Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she moves to Korea to chase after her boyfriend, Dae (Minyeong Choi), whom she met during the last “To All the Boys I Loved Before” film. But her surprise arrival for her junior year of high school turns into a disaster when – as viewers see in the preview – she finds out Dae has another girlfriend, Yuri (Gia Kim). Still, Kitty sticks it out in Korea, figuring out life, love, and who she really is through the season’s 10 episodes.
Fans first fell for Kitty when she appeared as the little sister of Lara Jean (Lana Condor) in the “TATBILB” films. Her show’s trailer points to Kitty’s past as an avowed matchmaker, but figuring out romance for herself is going to be a lot more difficult.
“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” author Jenny Han is on board as creator, writer, and executive producer of the spinoff, and she serves as co-showrunner with Sascha Rothchild. “She’s stepping into the fore – picking up the baton from Lara Jean,” Rothchild told Tudum of Kitty in March. Han added, “‘XO, Kitty’ really is Kitty’s story and that’s part of the reason why I really wanted to set this story in a different place. . . . 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.”
“XO, Kitty” is the second TV series based on Han’s stories. She also created Amazon Prime Video’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” which debuted in 2022 and is based on her book series of the same name. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” will release its second season later this year.
