XO, Kitty has finally dropped on Netflix and just when you thought your expectations for love had been brought back down to safety, Jenny Han takes us all the way back up.

The new series follows Kitty Song Covey as she navigates her new school as well as her road to self-discovery and she follows the footsteps of her mother who went to the very same boarding school.

The cast is full of familiar faces across different Jenny Han projects as well as some new faces avid Netflix stans may not recognise. Here is where you recognise the cast of Netflix’s XO, Kitty from.
