Noah Centineo’s ‘XO, Kitty’ Cameo Was the Perfect Reunion We Needed

by

At last, following a prolonged period of anticipation, one of Netflix’s most charming romantic comedy series has made its long-awaited comeback. In the early months of 2023, enthusiasts of the To All the Boys film series, which chronicled Lara Jean Covey’s complex love story, were treated to the premiere of the spinoff series titled XO, Kitty. This show centers around Kitty’s pursuit of reuniting with her long-distance boyfriend in South Korea, as she embarks on a new life by enrolling at the Korean International School of Seoul. Instead of experiencing a smooth romantic journey, she finds herself entangled in a whirlwind of complications, ultimately ending up single and exploring her sexual identity anew.

2025 marked the return of Kitty and her friends, and this time it’s the youngest Covey sister who is searching for true love. However, this journey isn’t a walk in the park, and she must remember her past and stay true to herself. Fortunately, the popular Netflix series has reintroduced one of its cherished characters – Peter Kavinsky – and fans everywhere were thrilled to see Noah Centineo grace our screens once more in the series’ latest installment, titled “ XO, Kitty “.

Peter Kavinsky Perfectly Connects ‘XO, Kitty’ to ‘To All the Boys’

In the movie “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”, Kitty (Anna Cathcart) might not have initially realized she desired a bigger brother figure, yet now she couldn’t imagine losing Peter Kavinsky. Initially indifferent to him being part of the family when Lara Jean introduced him as her boyfriend, his kindhearted nature and backing soon won her over. Since then, Peter Kavinsky has not only captured hearts on Netflix as their heartthrob, but he has also epitomized what it means to be an exceptional big brother.

In the exciting comeback of the franchise, it’s a treat to see Noah Centineo shining as a rising Netflix sensation. In the series XO, Kitty, Centineo seamlessly slips back into the character of Peter, adapting with grace to new surroundings and phases in his life. Although some things have shifted, true to form, Peter was excessively devoted to finding the ideal gift for Lara Jean, enlisting Kitty as an assistant. Despite a brief moment where Kitty speculated about a possible ring, Peter swiftly dismissed the idea, reminding her that at 22, their love life wasn’t ready for such commitments just yet. Yet, their exchanges left no doubt that our beloved couple was still going strong.

Noah Centineo’s ‘XO, Kitty’ Cameo Has a Deeper Meaning

Peter’s cameo was touching because he was completely informed about Kitty’s life, particularly in the area of relationships. He recognized Juliana immediately and knew all about Yuri and Min Ho. Most of this information came from Lara Jean, but it’s clear that he takes a keen interest in Kitty’s life. This demonstrates how deeply he cares for Kitty, making him an ideal companion to support her during her times of uncertainty.

Despite Kitty’s self-reliant feminist nature, Peter significantly influenced Kitty in recognizing Min Ho’s feelings towards her. He explained that Min Ho’s habit of addressing her by her surname and teasing her was a sign of affection, as he had shown similar behavior towards Lara Jean initially. Moreover, Peter’s visit served to underscore the close connections Kitty has with her family at home, thereby accentuating her mother’s legacy of fostering unity and peace among people. He not only rekindled memories of her roots but also aided in untangling Kitty’s romantic confusion, much like he had helped her and LJ navigate their own relationships.

Lara Jean’s Potential Future Cameo in ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 3

In the spinoff series, it wasn’t just Peter who made a brief appearance from the “To All the Boys” cast; Margot, portrayed by Janel Perish and introduced in the initial installment, also returned to the franchise. This time, viewers got a glimpse of her flourishing life as she was on the verge of starting a new job. However, she took a break from her busy schedule to join her grandmother, who is from their mother’s deceased side of the family, for a trip to South Korea. This could potentially lead to another captivating cameo in Season 3 of “XO, Kitty.

Given that Lara Jean asked Peter to carry her mother’s clue-filled letters to South Korea and deliver them to Kitty, it seems she shared the same eagerness as her younger sister to bring their family together. It’s plausible that Lara Jean wished to accompany Peter on his South Korean trip, but likely she couldn’t due to university commitments, since Peter’s visit was primarily tied to his Stanford lacrosse team participating in a tournament there. The enthusiasm shown and Margot’s reunion with the family might hint at Lana Condor potentially appearing in season 3 of “XO, Kitty”, hopefully alongside Peter. “XO, Kitty” can be found streaming on Netflix.
