Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky’s high school love story wrapped up with To all boys: forever and always, the final installment in Netflix’s romantic comedy trilogy. But while Lara Jean and Peter frolic in college, it’s time for little sister Kitty to shine with an all-new series.
XO, Kitty will follow Kitty Covey (Anna Cathcart) after she moves to Korea for a boarding school experience to reconnect with her mother’s culture and past (as well as visit the dreamy long-distance boyfriend she left behind). The trip is stimulated by Kitty finding an old box of her late mother’s belongings, leading her to learn that the international school her mother attended in Seoul for a year happens to be the same as Dae, Kitty’s Korean boyfriend.
“That’s a coincidence,” says her father in the first-look clip, in which Kitty presents a detailed slideshow explaining why she should go on this journey.
‘It’s more than that, Dad. This is destiny,” she declares.
Unlike the movies, XO, Kitty is not based on any book in the YA series by Jenny Han. It is also the first Netflix TV show to be derived from a series of Netflix movies. The half-hour romantic comedy series will be released on Netflix on May 18.
