Netflix is doubling down on the expansion of its existing IPs and the next one to get a bigger world is To All the Boys franchise with its brand-new spinoff called XO, Kitty, following the character of the same name from the original movies.
The 30-minute dramedy will have Jenny Han and Sascha Rothchild as its showrunners. Han, whose books the To All the Boys movies are based on, has also co-written the pilot episode with fellow novelist Siobhan Vivian.
As we mentioned, the series is a spin-off to Netflix’s To All The Boys franchise which has seen three movies released since 2018. All three movies were critical darlings for Netflix with the third movie reportedly pulling in 51 million views for Netflix.
The series will be produced by Awesomeness and ACE Entertainment for Netflix.
