After a successful first season, XO, Kitty is back for round 2. The titular character is no longer Lara Jean’s (Lana Condor) savvy matchmaker but is instead focused on finding her own soulmate. Her journey to South Korea has been no easy feat, with her getting entangled in a love triangle and compelled to uncover her late mother’s secrets. As Kitty (Anna Cathcart) returns to KISS (Korean Independent School of Seoul), determined to keep her head in the books, will matters of the heart get in the way of her plans? To find out what’s next for the character in Season 2, here is a handy guide with when and where you can stream the series’ latest episodes.

Watch ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2’s Official Trailer
Season 2’s official trailer starts off with Kitty arriving back on campus and reuniting with Q, saying that she will hit the books this semester. All the drama she experienced in Season 1, torn between her feelings for Dae and Yuri, has driven the protagonist to be more diligent with her schoolwork and further her quest for answers about her mother. Yet, as the rest of the clip hints at, it becomes clear that Kitty hasn’t moved past all that happened with Yuri. Although she is open to dating girls, her mind always drifts back to her and what they’ve been through. On top of this, the main character is also unsure what is going on between her and Min Ho. After all, they’ve grown closer since the Season 1 finale but never explored the possibility of being more than friends. The trailer wraps up with Kitty embarking on new adventures and coming across a familiar face who gives her the advice that she needs to be more confident in herself.
What Will ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2 Be About?
Here is the official synopsis for XO, Kitty Season 2, provided by Netflix:
“When Kitty heads back to KISS for her second semester, she’s single for the first time in a long time and ready for a fresh start: no more meddling, no more drama. Maybe just some casual dating — emphasis on casual. But she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother’s past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change. As secrets unravel and bonds are tested, Kitty will learn that life, family, and love are more complicated than she ever imagined.”

‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ (2023-Present)
Different from Kitty, whose drive to move to Seoul was to get to know more about her late mother, Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) is forced to leave the big city and move to Nashville after her parents’ passing. Living with her mother’s best friend and her many children, the main character from My Life With the Walter Boys struggles to adapt to the countryside. As she spends time with Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry), Jackie begins to have a soft spot for both of them.
‘The Fabulous’ (2022)
Similarly to XO, Kitty, The Fabulous is set in Seoul and follows two characters whose paths cross years after they break up. As they both chase their fashion dreams and try to survive in a competitive industry, Ji Woo-min (Choi Min-ho) and Pyo Ji-eun (Chae Soo-bin) see their feelings for each other get in the way of their aspirations.
