About XO, Kitty TV Series:
XO, Kitty is an American romantic comedy drama television series created by Jenny Han for Netflix. It is a spin-off of the To All the Boys film series (itself an adaptation of Han’s book trilogy To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), and marks the first Netflix television series to be spin-off from a Netflix original film. Han serves as writer and executive producer in addition to being a showrunner. Anna Cathcart reprises the title role as Kitty Song Covey, a high school student who goes on her own journey to find true love.
In March 2021, it was announced that a series spin-off to To All the Boys was in development, with each episode being a half-hour romantic comedy. The series got developed as a Netflix exclusive, from Awesomeness and ACE Entertainment. Anna Cathcart was also reported to be reprising her role as Kitty Song Covey.
Six months later, Netflix ordered ten episodes and announced other crew members. By that date, production had begun in Seoul. Gia Kim and Sang Heon Lee, the actors who played Yuri and Min Ho, respectively, are real-life siblings.
XO, Kitty was released on Netflix on May 18, 2023. The show has received positive reviews from critics.
While the series had a high viewership on Netflix in more than 50 countries, it received minimal attention in South Korea, where the show takes place. A reason cited for this was that the global success of South Korean media led to the country’s people not caring about its depiction in foreign productions. Another explanation was that thrillers and action shows are more popular than romance shows in South Korea.
On June 14, 2023, Netflix renewed the series for a second season. On April 25, 2024, it was announced that the second season had begun production in Seoul.
