Kitty Song Covey is ready for her own love story.
Netflix released the first trailer for the upcoming To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before spinoff, XO, Kitty, also announcing that the 10-episode series premieres on May 18.
In the series, teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) thinks she knows everything there is to know about love. But when she moves halfway across the world to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, she’ll soon realize that relationships are a lot more complicated when it’s your own heart on the line.
The trailer shows Kitty pitching to her dad the idea of allowing her to go to a boarding school in Korea — the same boarding school that her mom once attended. It also happens to be the school where her crush Dae, who she met during a trip to Korea with her family, attends currently.
“I know when two people are meant for each other,” she says, pointing to a slideshow that starts with a photo of her sister Lara Jean and her boyfriend Peter. She also reminds her dad that she was the one who orchestrated his relationship with their former neighbor, Trina.
She’s applied to the boarding school and gotten the same scholarship that her mom once received. She’s convinced it’s fate…will her dad agree?
XO, Kitty also stars Minyeong Choi (Dae), 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).
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 will serve as co-showrunner alongside Sascha Rothchild. The two executive produce the series 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 film, 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.
