Netflix doubles existing IPS expansion and the next one to get a larger world is all boys with a new spin-roff called XO, Kitty, following the characters of the original film from the same film. Production will begin in 2022.

Dramedy 30 minutes will have Jenny Han and Sascha Rothchild as showers. Han, whose books for all boys’ films are based, have also written episodes of pilots with fellow Novelis Siobhan Vivian.

As we mentioned, this series is spin-off to Netflix for all boys franchises that have seen three films released since 2018. The three films are critical Darlings for Netflix with the third film reported to attract 51 million views for Netflix.

This series will be produced by greatness and Ace entertainment for Netflix.

This is the other we know about XO, Kitty:

What is the XO plot, Kitty?

On XO, Kitty, Matchmaker Teen Kitty Song Covey thinks he knows everything you need to know about love. But when he moves in the middle of the world to relate with his long distance girlfriend, he will soon realize that the relationship is much more complicated when it is your own heart on the phone.

Who was thrown into Xo, Kitty?

As the title would suggest, Anna Cathcart will reprise her role as Kitty Song Cover from the To All the Boys films. Cathcart’s scene-stealer Kitty character played a key role in the plot of the movies. In the first film, she found the letters her older sister Lara (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.

We can reveal that there will be plenty of brand new faces in this new spin-off.

Here are some of the characters we’re expecting to see in XO, Kitty on Netflix:

  • Dae – a 17-year-old Korean who will serve as Kitty’s long-distance boyfriend and is described as cute and smart. He’ll be a series regular.
  • Mihee – a 17-year-old Korean female who identifies as queer. Described as a reigning queen bee from her previous boarding school and the ultimate cool girl.
  • Min Ho – Korean ex-pat who has spent time in the UK, Australia, and the US. Described as handsome and uber-confident.
  • Q – Male from Africa or the Middle East who identifies as queer. Described as an extrovert.
  • Alex Park – Korean-American male in late 20s and will serve as a chemistry teacher and the international Korean high school and dorm advisor.
  • Professor Lee – Literature teacher in his 40s or 50s
  • Jina Han  – the matriarch of the wealthy Han family.

How many episodes will be in XO, Kitty?

It is confirmed that Netflix’s XO, Kitty will have 10 episodes, each consisting of 30 minutes.

What’s the Netflix release date for XO, Kitty?

Netflix hasn’t set a release date for XO, Kitty, but given filming is due to end by June, there is a slim chance we could see the series arrive on Netflix before the end of 2022.

Given the first movie of the franchise, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, was released around Valentine’s Day, there’s also a great chance Netflix plans the release of XO, Kitty around Valentine’s Day 2023.
