Xo, Kitty season 2 has just been released, and one thing is for sure: we’re already looking forward to season 3. It’s another must-watch series, and we can’t recommend it enough. The cherry on top? Netflix reminds us of the connections between Xo, Kitty and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by bringing back Noah Centineo and Janel Parrish.
The Sequel Picks Up Where We Expected
We find Xo, Kitty still grappling with the same doubts we left her with. She hasn’t really spoken much with Min Ho and is still deeply attracted to Yuri (it’s even funnier knowing that in real life, Min Ho and Yuri are siblings). Fortunately, thanks to Yuri, Kitty is once again accepted into KISS and we catch up with her right as she returns from her vacation. However, Lee is now the principal, and let’s just say things are a bit chaotic—not due to the new principal, but in the lives of all our characters. The best part? Kitty ends up sharing a dorm with Yuri and her girlfriend, while our little American is completely smitten with Yuri. That’s a living situation that promises plenty of sparks.
Exploring Bisexuality and a Perfect Representation of These Feelings
Through Kitty, we get a beautiful representation of bisexuality. We see Kitty trying to explore her sexuality and attraction to women with other people besides Yuri, although the sexual tension between Kitty and Yuri is still present. Spoiler Alert: We get a beautiful kiss between the two. Even better? Kitty’s exploration of her sexuality, her various dates, and her fluctuating attraction to both Yuri and one of the boys. The queer representation doesn’t stop there—there’s also a character who represents the gay community, and we love that!
Touching Reunions in Xo, Kitty Season 2
When we talk about reunions, this season delivers in full force. Between Noah Centineo’s return to comfort Kitty when she needs it, and Margot showing up in the final episode, this season has a special feel for fans of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. But above all, it’s a beautiful season for Kitty, who accomplishes the near-miracle of bringing her family together. Let’s be honest—Yuri and Min Ho both play big roles in helping, and Margot also lends a hand, but Kitty is the heart of the whole thing. Her grandmother reunites with her older sister, and the bond between the cousins has never been stronger.
A Cliffhanger Ending That Leaves Xo, Kitty Fans Hungry for More
While the end of season 1 was pure torture, season 2 leaves us on edge as well, though it’s a bit less intense. Still, we can’t wait for what’s next. To recap, Kitty asks Min Ho to leave with her. This season sees Min Ho growing closer to his family, and by the end, he decides to join his dad and brother on their tour to bond with them over the holidays. Kitty, finally admitting she’s in love with him, plans to tell him before he leaves. However, when she’s caught off guard by his departure, she decides to stay quiet. At the last moment, she stops him to ask if she can join him—and from what we understand, he agrees! So now we’re all eager to see what happens on that tour.
The Evolution of Kitty: Growth, Challenges, and Self-Discovery
One of the most compelling aspects of Xo, Kitty season 2 is the character development of Kitty herself. We watch as she moves beyond the uncertainties and idealized notions of her younger self, embracing the complexities of growing up. Season 2 is all about Kitty grappling with her identity—both in terms of her relationships and her personal growth.
Kitty’s journey of self-discovery isn’t just about love and attraction—it’s about learning to understand herself on a deeper level. Throughout the season, she faces difficult decisions and uncomfortable situations that force her to challenge her own assumptions. From exploring her bisexuality to navigating the complexities of friendships and family dynamics, Kitty finds herself in situations that test her patience, resilience, and emotional maturity.
A standout moment is when Kitty starts taking responsibility for her actions—whether it’s her decision to keep her feelings for Min Ho a secret or how she handles the ups and downs of her relationship with Yuri. Kitty’s evolution from a girl who once only knew her world in black-and-white terms to someone who understands the nuanced layers of love, identity, and family is a testament to the series’ ability to portray real, messy, and relatable growth.
Ultimately, Kitty’s journey is about coming to terms with the fact that growing up isn’t linear. There are setbacks, there are triumphs, and there are plenty of moments where she’s unsure of herself. But the season shows that those moments of doubt and struggle are just as important as the breakthroughs. In the end, Kitty emerges as a more confident, self-aware version of herself—and that’s what makes this season feel so incredibly satisfying.
While we wait for season 3, you can catch season 2 on Netflix. We highly recommend it!
