XO, Kitty is a romantic dramedy series from Jenny Han (The Summer I Turned Pretty), who has created a spin-off TV series from her own highly successful To All the Boys film franchise.
This Netflix original focuses on Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart), the younger sister of Lara Jean, the star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
In the spin-off series, Kitty travels halfway across the world to be with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae (Minyeong Choi). She enrolls at Dae’s school in Seoul, gaining a last-minute scholarship so that she can be closer to her pen pal and find herself while on this crazy adventure.
As soon as she lands in Seoul, Kitty discovers that Dae has been cheating on her with a rich student called Yuri (Gia Kim). Kitty must decide whether to chase after her dream boyfriend or go seek out somebody new in this strange new world.
The series has all the right ingredients for a guaranteed hit for Netflix, combining K-drama (the cast, setting, and language) with your standard teen rom-com.
With so much working in its favor, will Netflix be quick to renew the show for a second outing?
Will there be a Season 2 of XO, Kitty – renewed or canceled status
XO, Kitty is yet to be renewed by Netflix for a second season, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they announce a renewal in the coming weeks or months. This spin-off series seems unlikely to fail, with so many pluses on its side.
Due to its embargo, there will be no critical reviews posted before its release, so we can only surmise what critics will think of the series. Jenny Han’s past projects have all done scarily well, though. The Summer I Turned Pretty holds a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while the films in the To All the Boys trilogy are all rated as fresh.
Jenny Han’s previous work has always been well-received, making her latest offering seem like another sure-fire hit for Netflix.
The Korean elements mixed with your typical teen rom-com tropes from an already-established franchise make this a win-win scenario for the streaming giants.
As for the first season’s ending, as always, the narrative is left open for further development. There is still plenty of this world to be explored, and Netflix would be silly not to want to continue Kitty’s adventures moving forwards. If you haven’t guessed, I’m going to predict that this series will be renewed.
As always, we will keep you posted on any updates in the pending renewal of XO, Kitty.
I loved it. Hoping for season 2. Would love to see older Covey sisters in an episode or 2. Maybe XMas special?
i love this series and i hope so much that season 2 will come, i want to know what happens with kitty and minho. it’s been driving me crazy since episode 1 ?
I’m into it!! I need to know what’s going on next between Kitty and Min Ho. I love his way caring about Kitty. He’s a perfect gentleman!!??
All I want to know what happens between Kitty and Min Ho. It has kind of been the perfect love-hate relationship(unrequited though). I’d really hope for second season! Not to mention it’d be really nice to see the elder sisters in an episode!
