As soon as we finished season 1 of XO, Kitty, you better believe we began eagerly awaiting XO, Kitty season 2, which may be headed our way sooner than you think.

It took two whole years since its announcement for XO, Kitty, the long-anticipated To All The Boys spinoff series, to hit Netflix on May 18, 2023, but not even a month later, the waiting game began again. The countdown for XO, Kitty season 2 has been on for a minute, and finally, we have gotten some much-anticipated updates on production — and new cast members.

ICYMI: XO, Kitty centers around the silver-tongued Katherine Song Covey, a.k.a. Kitty, a fan-favorite from the TATB movies, after she gets the same “super-cool scholarship” her late mom got in her teenage years and enrolls in high school in South Korea. "Grab your helmets, kids, this is gonna be a wild ride," leading lady Anna Cathcart wrote on Instagram when the series was first announced — and season one already proved she was more than right.

Season one followed Kitty as she made her way to Seoul to reunite with her long-time, long-distance boyfriend Dae (played by Choi Minyeong), and what followed was indeed a rollercoaster, with all its ups and downs and romantic spins.

Season 1 of XO, Kitty ended up with more than one loose end and a pretty hefty cliffhanger, so it's only natural to wonder about Kitty's future in season 2. If that's where your head is at, you've come to the right place. Here's everything we know so far about XO, Kitty season 2, including release date, cast, plot details, first-look photos, and more.

Yes! Netflix officially renewed XO, Kitty for a second season on June 14, 2023. According to a press release shared by Netflix, XO, Kitty debuted at #2 on the English TV List with 72.1 million hours viewed and appeared in the Top 10 in 90 (!) countries in its first week. In the cutest announcement ever, the main cast shared the news with each other in a pass-the-note style video. The clip ended with series star Anna Cathcart holding up a sheet of paper with the words, “XO, KITTY SEASON 2 IS COMING.”

“Oh my god, I am so, so excited,” said Cathcart with a smile. “Thank you so much to everybody who watched season one. We cannot wait to do it again.”

Has XO, Kitty season 2 started filming yet?

Also yes! Netflix announced XO, Kitty season 2 was officially in production on April 15, 2024, with the cutest video from the cast doing a popular TikTok trend. The video starts with Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho) and Cathcart (Kitty) reading their scripts. Lee then jumps off frame and appears in what we'll assume is Seoul clad in his K.I.S.S. uniform, reuniting with his (Yuri on the show) and Anthony Keyvan (Q). Soon after, all the cast make the transition. “roll call! we’re headed back to kiss! XO, KITTY season 2 is now in production!!!” the caption for the post read.

Clearly, the announcement video is not the only one the cast filmed while on set for season 2. Over on Cathcart's TikTok, the cast also posted a video lip-syncing to Sabrina Carpenter's instantly viral “Espresso.” Cathcart captioned the post: “I'm working late…on SEASON TWO!!!” We are seated. By the way, if you are noticing some new faces in these videos, you are not dreaming; more on that below.

What will XO, Kitty season 2 be about?

Warning: spoilers for XO, Kitty season 1 ahead.

Well, put it simply: XO, Kitty season two will be about… Kitty, duh! The last time we saw Kitty, she was expelled from K.I.S.S. (that's the Korean Independent School of Seoul, in case you need a refresher) and was on her way to the US — Portland, to be more specific — with a very special plane mate: Min Ho, played by Sang Heon Lee.

A lot of things had happened up until this point: Dae and Kitty broke up (but he still has some hope of winning her back), Yuri (played by Gia Kim) was reunited with her girlfriend Juliana (Regan Aliyah) just as Kitty was about to reveal her feelings for her, and Min Ho did confess his feelings for Kitty on the plane after doing the most selfless act of love by choosing to fly economy for her. Lots going on.

No tentative release date — or year — for the new season has been shared, but it is worth noting that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike likely affected timeframes. Seeing that production started in April 2024, the series could arrive earliest in late 2024 and, more likely, sometime in 2025.

As per the production start video, we can assume all the main cast to return for XO, Kitty season 2. The main cast of XO, Kitty features Anna Cathcart reprising the role of Kitty Song Covey; South Korean actor Minyeong Choi, whom you might recognize from the K-drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One, as Dae, a character that was previously portrayed by Jeon Hoyoung, who just recently took part in MNET's talent competition Boys Planet; real-life siblings Gia Kim and Sang Heon Lee are as Yuri and Min Ho; as well as Anthony Keyvan (Q) and Regan Aliyah (Juliana). We have no word on Jocelyn Shelfo (Madison) and Peter Thurnwald (Alex) for now, but we do know three new faces are joining the cast.
