XO, Kitty cast guide: Who stars in the To All the Boys spin-off series?

When you’re a young teen in love, you’d do anything to be with your significant other. Maybe even travel to another country. That’s exactly what teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey decides to do to be with her long-distance boyfriend Dae in XO, Kitty.

XO, Kitty is a spin-off television series of the smash-hit To All the Boys film trilogy, which was adapted from Jenny Han’s New York Times best-selling novels To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and To All the Boys: Always and Forever.

While the To All the Boys movies revolve around Lara Jean Song Covey (Lana Condor) and her love life, XO, Kitty focuses on her little sister, Kitty Song Covey, and her love story. In the teen series, Kitty is now 16 years old, and she decides to move halfway across to world to attend KISS, a Korean boarding school in Seoul, South Korea, that her late mom attended to learn more about her. But that’s not the only reason for her transfer to the school. Her long-distance boyfriend, Dae, happens to be a student there, and she wants to finally reconnect with him after being apart for so long.

Anna Cathcart reprises her role from the teen movies as Kitty, the cheerful and easy-going teen matchmaker. Additionally, Choi Min-young takes on the lead role of Dae, Kitty’s long-distance boyfriend. Read on to find out who else stars in the teen series!
