3Will Noah Centineo Appear In ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2?
This is not a drill!Noah Centineowill make an appearance inXO, KittySeason 2 as Peter Kavinsky, Lara Jean’s boyfriend. The trailer already gave audiences a glimpse of this duo’s anticipated reunion, which showrunnerJen O’Toolesays will be filled with surprises.Here’s what she told TUDUM: “I can’t wait for the fans to see Peter interact with some of their favoriteXO, Kittycharacters and to see all the other juicy surprises we have in store … including some big moments fans have been waiting for and others they will never see coming.”
Peter will play a fundamental role in Kitty’s arc, and will help her figure out her next steps, including coming to terms with who has a special place in her heart. The actor also shared with TUDUM more about his experience playing opposite Cathcart again, years after they worked together onTo All the Boys: Always and Forever. He also spoke about what it was like to reprise his breakout role. He said:
“Working with Anna again was amazing. She’s so wonderfully talented, and her work ethic shows in every scene. Stepping back into theTo All the Boysuniverse was a true joy, and I hope our incredible audience enjoys seeing Peter again as much as I did.”
2What Will ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2 Be About?
Here is the official synopsis forXO, KittySeason 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.”
It is important to remember that the letter Kitty received at the end of Season 1 brought up a question that has yet to be answered in Season 2. Kitty’s mother mentions someone named Simon at the end of the long-lost note she gave to Jina (Yunjin Kim). Although the main character is clueless about whom this man might be, or his significance during her mother’s time at KISS, the latest batch of episodes will likely offer more information on Simon’s identity. Kitty did see a picture of her mother during her boarding school days, holding the hand of a mysterious man. Maybe the person in the picture might be who the protagonist is looking for.
1Who Is Behind ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2?
As previously mentioned, Jessica O’Toole is credited as the series' showrunner, and she has previously overseen shows likeCharmedand The CW’sJane the Virgin.

In an interview with TUDUM back in March 2023, Han spoke about what drives her to come up with YA love stories as well as what she enjoys most about continuing to expand Kitty’s journey:
“I write so many romantic stories about young people. Everyone wants the ‘happily ever after’ and to feel like two people are together forever — but they are really young. What was exciting about Kitty’s story [is] that it shows you can really explore different people for different times of your life.”
