Kitty Song Covey’s adventures in Seoul aren't over yet. Netflix has renewed "XO, Kitty" for a second season.

In "XO, Kitty", teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey thinks she knows everything there is about love. But when she moves halfway across the world to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, she soon realizes that relationships are a lot more complicated when your heart is on the line.

Season 1 of the "To All The Boys" spinoff series has received a warm welcome on the streamer, coming in at No. 2 on the English TV List following its May 18 debut with 72.1M hours viewed in its first few days of availability. Since then, it held a spot in the Top 10 for four weeks.

The series features Anna Cathcart reprising her role as Kitty Song Covey. 

The cast also includes Minyeong Choi, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Anthony Keyvan, Peter Thurnwald, Yunjin, Sarayu Blue, John Corbett, Michael K Lee, Jocelyn Shelfo, and Regan Aliyah.

The half-hour dramedy, from the films’ Awesomeness and ACE Entertainment, is a spinoff inspired by the popular movie trilogy as well as the bestselling book series by Jenny Han, who is the TV series’ creator and co-wrote the pilot script with Siobhan Vivian. 

Han serves as co-showrunner alongside Sascha Rothchild for Season 1. The two executive produced the season with Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment.

Cathcart’s scene stealer Kitty character played a key role in the plot of the movies. In the first movie, she found the letters her older sister Lara Jean (Lana Condor), a shy high school junior, had written to boys she had had crushes on and secretly mailed them, triggering all the follow-up events.

Awesomeness and Kaplan’s ACE previously developed Han’s popular novels "To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before" (published in 2014), "P.S. I Still Love You" (2015), and "Always and Forever, Lara Jean" (2017) into the hugely successful film franchise for Netflix.
