In XO, Kitty, she's all grown up as she heads across the world to attend the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS).
Where have I seen Anna Cathcart before? She also appeared in kids' TV show Odd Squad and fantasy feature films Descendants 2 and 3.
Sang Heon Lee plays Min Ho and Minyeong Choi plays Dae Heon Kim

Where have I seen Sang Heon before? He's set to appear in the Gran Turismo film later this year.
Who is Dae Heon Kim? He first met Kitty in To All the Boys: Always and Forever when she was visiting Seoul. They began a long distance relationship and they speak every day.
Where have I seen Minyeong Choi before? He's appeared in several K-dramas including Entertainer and Mr Sunshine, and feature film Dream Palace.
Gia Kim plays Yuri
Who is Yuri? A social media influencer who is tailed by the paparazzi wherever she goes, which forces her to keep her cards close to her chest. Her father is a successful businessman and her mother is the principal of KISS.
Where have I seen Gia Kim before? This is her first major role.
Regan Aliyah (BF For Hire) plays Juliana, Yuri's love interest.
Sunny Oh plays Mihee, Han Bi Ryu plays Eunice, and Jocelyn Shelfo plays Madison

Who is Florian? Another international student. Florian is French and Greek.
Where have I seen Théo Augier before? He's appeared in a number of French language dramas, including Endless Night.
Michael K Lee plays Professor Lee and Peter Thurnwald plays Alex
Who is Professor Lee? A teacher at KISS who puts the students through their paces – which is a shock to Kitty's system. But there are moments when he eases up and shows a softer side.
Where have I seen Michael K Lee before? He's largely known for his stage work. His credits include Miss Saigon, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pacific Overtures, and Rent.
Who is Alex? One of Kitty's teachers. He's recently arrived in Seoul from Australia, which takes some adjusting.
Where have I seen Peter Thurnwald? He appeared in Australian comedy-drama Bump and American mockumentary Players.
Yunjin Kim plays Principal Jina Lim
Who is Principal Jina Lim? The head of the school who was also a student there herself. She is Yuri's mum.

John Corbett plays Dan Covey and Sarayu Blue plays Trina Rothschild
Who is Dan Covey? Kitty's dad, who is an obstetrician-gynecologist. He was left bereft following the death of his wife but over time, he was able to love again and went on to marry Trish.
Where have I seen John Corbett before? He's best known for playing Aidan Shaw in Sex and the City and Ian Miller in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. His CV also includes US comedy-drama Northern Exposure.
Who is Trina Rothschild? She was the Coveys' neighbour before she fell in love with Dan, thanks to some good-natured scheming by Kitty. In the final To All the Boys film, the couple tied the knot.
Where have I seen Sarayu Blue before? You might recognise her from Netflix's Never Have I Ever, Apple TV+ drama The Shrink Next Door, NBC's I Feel Bad, and The CW's No Tomorrow.
Are Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky in XO, Kitty?
No. Kitty's sister Lara Jean, played by Lana Condor, and Peter Kavinsky, played by Noah Centineo, do not appear in XO, Kitty.
This is strictly Kitty's story.
"We all fell so deeply in love with Lara Jean and her story, so it felt like the greatest gift to give to Kitty was to let her as a character kind of set off on her own two feet and not put her in the shadow of either of her sisters," co-showrunner Jenny Han, who wrote the To All the Boys books, told Netflix.
"And Lana and Noah are both off and doing big things. The whole To All the Boys family couldn't be more proud of them and excited for all the things that come next. We're all excited to see Anna really pick up the mantle and continue Kitty's story."
