We can't believe the long-awaited second season of XO, Kitty is finally streaming on Netflix! After last season's jaw-dropping cliffhanger, our favorite teen matchmaker is back at KISS, prepared to tackle whatever drama comes her way. Though, for her sanity, let’s hope it’s a smooth sailing semester this time! Who are we kidding, though? With Kitty, chaos is practically guaranteed—and we’re here for every second of it! Q doesn't call her his chaos queen for nothing.
Unfortunately, the second season is two episodes shorter than the first. With each episode clocking in at 30 minutes or less, the season flies by. You hit play on the first episode, and before you know it, you’ve already reached the season 2 finale! Honestly, it seems like the episodes go by even quicker because the story is so engaging and packed with twists, leaving you wanting more after each one.
There's so much that goes down in XO, Kitty season 2, and some storylines are left unresolved. That's why we're keeping our fingers crossed for an XO, Kitty season 3. However, it'll most likely be a while before Netflix announces whether the show will be renewed. So, where does that leave us? Stuck in suspense, replaying our favorite moments, and imagining all the possibilities for what could come next! In the meantime, we suggest checking out other similar shows to keep you entertained. Don't worry. We’ve got a great list of five just below.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
If you're a huge fan of XO, Kitty, you definitely need to check out The Summer I Turned Pretty. Not only is it created by the same mastermind, but it also delivers the perfect blend of romance, emotional twists, heartwarming moments, and relatable teen drama. Plus, just like Kitty Song Covey, the main character gets tangled up in a complicated love triangle. Who doesn’t love a good one of those?
Teenager Belly spends every summer with her family and their friends at the fictional beach town of Cousins Beach. But one summer, everything changes as Belly becomes caught in a love triangle with two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, who have been her childhood friends.

Heartstopper
What makes Heartstopper and XO, Kitty so likable is that they follow endearing and relatable protagonists who don't quite have it all together yet but are figuring things out, making mistakes, learning from them, and growing along the way. It's their authenticity and vulnerability that makes them incredibly easy to root for.
In Heartstopper, the story centers around a kindhearted and openly gay teen named Charlie Spring, who meets Nick Nelson, a popular and charming rugby player, at their all-boys school. What begins as a friendship soon evolves into a full-blown romantic relationship, filled with both heartwarming moments and challenges as they navigate their emotions, identity, and the ups and downs of high school life.

But Devi, being the resilient person she is, manages to tackle her challenges head-on, learning valuable lessons about herself and her relationships along the way.
Here’s the official logline for the show from the Netflix Media Center:

My Life with the Walter Boys

15-year-old Jackie Howard's life as she knows it gets completely turned upside down when her family passes away in a tragic car accident, and she's forced to move in with the Walter family on their rural Colorado ranch.

Ginny & Georgia
While Ginny & Georgia can sometimes lean more towards serious topics, it shares similarities with XO, Kitty in its focus on coming-of-age themes and the typical ups and downs of teenage life, such as navigating school and relationships. One of the main protagonists, angsty teen Ginny Miller, even finds herself in a love triangle at one point, adding to the emotional drama and complexity of her journey, much like Kitty's own romantic challenges.
After constantly being on the run because of her troubled past, Georgia Miller hopes to finally settle down.
