XO, Kitty is officially here and To All the Boys I've Loved Before fans can't get enough of it. Will there be a season 2 though?

Ever since Netflix announced that they were making a To All the Boys spin-off about Kitty, fans have been desperate to see it. XO, Kitty does not disappoint. The show sees Kitty (Anna Cathcart) move to boarding school in Seoul to be with her one true love: Dae (Minyeong Choi). However, all is not as it seems and Kitty is forced to figure out what she really wants.

Every episode has a plot twist and the ending has left viewers wanting more. With that in mind, here's everything you need to know about XO, Kitty season 2 including the release date, cast, plot details, trailers and a whole lot more.

When does XO, Kitty season 2 come out?

Has XO, Kitty been renewed for season 2?

Less than one month after it dropped on Netflix, Netflix renewed XO, Kitty for a second season! Season 2 is officially on the way! According to Netflix, the series debuted in their weekly Top 10 rankings at number two with an incredible 72.1 million hours viewed.

Before the announcement, To All the Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han and the the XO, Kitty cast all said in interviews that they are eager to film a second season.

When is the XO, Kitty season 2 release date?

Unfortunately, we won't know any information about an XO, Kitty season 2 release date just yet. Netflix tend to wait around a year between releasing seasons of their shows so it's possible that XO, Kitty could come back to Netflix as soon as May, 2023.

However, the release might be affected by the recent SAG-AFTRA strike. As of July 2023, actors are on strike following a breakdown in negotiations with studios and production companies to secure fairer pay, better working conditions and safeguards against unauthorised use of their likeness through artificial intelligence.

The WGA (Writers Guild of America) have also been on strike since May 2023 for similar reasons.

Like XO, Kitty season 1, we imagine that XO, Kitty season 2 would have 10 half-hour episodes.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR XO, KITTY SEASON 1!

Who will be in the XO, Kitty season 2 cast?

If XO, Kitty is renewed for a second season, we imagine that all of the main cast will be back in season 2. In other words, we expect to see Anna Cathcart (Kitty), Minyeong Choi (Dae), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Peter Thurnwald (Alex) and Regan Aliya (Juliana) and Yunjin Kim (Principal Jina Lim) all return in season 2.

Elsewhere, we imagine that season 2 would also introduce some new characters into the mix, including Kitty's mum's first love Simon. We will let you know as soon as we know more.

What will happen in XO, Kitty season 2?

XO, Kitty season 1 ends with multiple cliffhangers that will no doubt be explored in a second season. First things first, Kitty confesses to Dae that she has feelings for someone else. He's convinced that it's Min Ho but Kitty then explains that she has fallen for Yuri. The pair breakup but it's unclear if that chapter is closed for good.

Kitty then tries to tell Yuri how she feels before flying back to the US but Juliana shows up and it becomes clear that she's still with Yuri. In fact, Yuri and Juliana's parents have now agreed to let them be together. In season 2, it seems likely that Kitty will explore her sexuality and end up in a love triangle with Yuri and Juliana.

If that weren't enough, Min Ho sits next to Kitty on her flight home and reveals that he's in love with her. Oh and Kitty also learns that her mother's first love was called Simon, so there's plenty for the writers to explore in season 2.

Discussing what he wants for Dae in season 2, Minyeong told Teen Vogue: "I would want him to learn how to transform his relationship [with Kitty] from lovers to friends. I think that's really hard, but if you can do that, you can still keep...the person. That's not only about just partners; it's just love again. So I really hope that Dae keeps the love towards Kitty."

Kitty exploring her sexuality in season 2 and potentially dating Yuri? We'd love to see it.
