To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is the film and franchise the catapulted Noah Centineo into the role of the internet’s boyfriend, but sadly – after three incredibly well-received films – the franchise came to an end in 2021. Or so we thought…
Turns out, Netflix have been developing a spin-off TV series, XO, Kitty, centring around Lara Jean Song-Covey’s (played by Lana Condor) little sister Kitty Song-Covey, AKA the best character in the films, played by Anna Cathcart.
What is XO, Kitty about?
Following Kitty – who was the catapult for two successful relationships including Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky’s (played by Noah Centineo) – as she heads to a boarding school in Korea in order to reconnect with her long-distance boyfriend.
However, once she arrives in Asia, Kitty soon learns that she’s not quite the expert on love as she originally thought and has a lot to learn about real relationships.
Where can I watch XO, Kitty?
Much like the original franchise To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, XO, Kitty will be airing on Netflix.
When does XO, Kitty air?
All ten episodes of the series will be released to Netflix io 18 May 2023. Clear your schedule now!
