Production is officially underway on XO, Kitty, Netflix’s spin-off series from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

The show is inspired by the best-selling book series by Jenny Han, who will serve as co-showrunner, alongside Sascha Rothchild. XO, Kitty will follow Lana Covey’s sister, Kitty Song Covey, the teen matchmaker who thinks she knows everything there is to know about love.
