Netflix has renewed Jenny Han’s “XO, Kitty” series for a second season.
The show, which stems from the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” film trilogy adapted from Han’s novels, follows Katherine “Kitty” Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she travels to South Korea to study abroad for his junior year of high school at the Korean Independent School in Seoul. Her late mother Eve Song Covey attended KISS during her junior year of high school, and Kitty’s long-distance boyfriend Dae (Minyeong Choi) also motivated her to give it a shot.
Han serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Sascha Rothchild. ACE Entertainment’s Matt Kaplan is also executive producing and Awesomeness Studios producing. Besides Cathcart and Choi, the cast includes Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Peter Thurnwald (Alex) with Yunjin Kim (Jina), Sarayu Blue (Trina), John Corbett (Dan Covey), Michael K. Lee (Professor Lee), Jocelyn Shelfo (Madison), and Regan Aliyah (Juliana).

Season 1 ended with Kitty beginning to have feelings for her enemy-turned-friend Yuri (Gia Kim) after finally meeting Dae. Yuri and Dae pretended to be dating for a bit to dump Yuri’s mother, Principle Jina, because Yuri is gay and with Julianna. Kitty was also kicked out of KISS for living in the boys’ dorm, which was discovered on her last day of class during a joyous celebration of her making it to the finals. On the plane back to Portland, Kitty found Dae’s friend Minho (Sang Heon Lee) sitting next to her in the coach, and he confessed that he also had feelings for her.
“XO, Kitty” debuted on Netflix on May 18, nearly three weeks after the WGA strike began. Han and Rothchild did not attend the May 11 premiere, nor did any press promoting the show.
Han also has the second season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” based on his other beloved trilogy, which will arrive July 14 on Amazon’s Prime Video.
