The beloved characters of XO, Kitty, led by the vibrant Kitty Song Covey, are returning to the lively streets of Seoul as they embark on a new semester filled with excitement and challenges, showcased in recently unveiled first-look images of the highly anticipated season two of the popular Netflix dramedy. This morning, Netflix shared exclusive glimpses of the upcoming season along with the eagerly awaited release date announcement.
This romantic dramedy, which serves as a charming spinoff of Netflix’s acclaimed To All the Boys trilogy, centers around the youngest Song Covey sister, Kitty, played by the talented Anna Cathcart. As she immerses herself in the captivating world of Korean Independent School of Seoul, affectionately known as KISS, Kitty grapples with the complexities of teenage life, exploring themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery.
The first season of XO, Kitty concluded with a tumultuous love square, as Kitty faced emotional turmoil after ending her relationship with her boyfriend Dae (Minyeong Choi) in light of her growing feelings for Yuri (Gia Kim), who had initially been her rival but evolved into a close friend. Unfortunately, Kitty was unable to express her true feelings to Yuri before her ex, Julianna (Regan Aliyah), reentered the picture, complicating matters. Additionally, Kitty’s former foe and current roommate, Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), revealed his own feelings for her, adding another layer of drama to her already chaotic love life.
As per the official synopsis for the upcoming season, Kitty is poised to confront a whirlwind of experiences related to her romantic and platonic relationships. “Kitty Song Covey is back in Seoul for a new semester at KISS. She’s single for the first time in a long time, and ready for a fresh start: no more meddling, no more drama. Maybe just some casual dating,” reads a captivating part of the synopsis. “Emphasis on casual. But she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother’s past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change.”
On Thursday, Netflix delighted fans by releasing a fun, TikTok trend-inspired video, officially announcing that the highly anticipated second season of the show will premiere on January 16, 2025. In a light-hearted moment captured on video, a voice announces, “Kitty is coming back,” prompting Cathcart to comically whip her head towards the camera and exclaim, “When?”
The overwhelming success of XO, Kitty led to its swift renewal for a second season, merely four weeks after the series amassed an impressive 72 million hours of viewing globally within its first week—a significant achievement according to Netflix’s own internal figures.
The series was brought to life by the creative vision of To All the Boys author Jenny Han, with Jessica O’Toole serving as the showrunner and writer for season two of XO, Kitty. Together, they also executive produce the show, partnering with Awesomeness Studios and Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment to bring this captivating narrative to screens.
