XO, Kitty Season 2 on Netflix: Release Date, Trailer, and Everything You Need to Know
Courtesy of Netflix.
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.

Has XO, Kitty season 2 finished filming yet?
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 was 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.
According to posts by Anthony Keyvan and new cast member Sasha Bhasin, filming for XO, Kitty season 2 wrapped filming in mid-June 2024. On June 16, Keyvan posted a photo dump from his time in Seoul with the cast and crew of the series, which he captioned “season 2 ☑️ ” tagging the official Instagram account for XO, Kitty. The checkmark implies filming for season 2 is all done and so does the last slide of his post, which features two crew members waving goodbye.
Sasha Bhasin also posted her own farewell to season 2 of XO, Kitty on her own Instagram stories, posting a Polaroid picture of the entire cast at what appears to be Anna Cathcart's 21st birthday party. (Cathcart's birthday is June 16, which is written on the photo with a marker alongside a heart.) In the pic, the cast members are dressed in all black. "xo, XO," Bhasin wrote on top, seemingly implying the gathering served both as a birthday celebration and a wrap-up party.

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.

When is XO, Kitty season 2 coming out?
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 and wrapped in June 2024, the series could arrive earliest in late 2024 and, more likely, sometime in 2025.
