The Netflix series “XO Kitty,” created by Jenny Han and premiered in May, received an enthusiastic and positive response from viewers. The show features Anna Cathcart as Kitty, with Choi Min-young and Sang Heon Lee portraying the characters Dae and Minho, respectively. Notably, this American series is the first of its kind to be set in Korea. Excitingly, on June 14, the production team delighted fans by announcing the renewal of the show for a second season.
But as of now Netflix’s highly anticipated second season of “Kitty” remains shrouded in secrecy as the network continues to keep details about its release date under wraps. Despite being renewed for another season just last month, the network has not yet provided any official information regarding when fans can expect the new episodes to arrive. This lack of disclosure can be attributed to the ongoing 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, which has effectively halted the majority of writers’ rooms until a resolution is reached concerning fair compensation for writers.
The situation is further compounded by the possibility of an impending actor’s strike, which has been gaining momentum. If this strike also fails to achieve a resolution before the impending deadline, it could potentially lead to additional delays in the release of the show. However, it is worth noting that for many original Netflix series, it is typical for a production of this caliber to take approximately a year to complete. This timeframe allows for the meticulous production process to be carried out efficiently, ensuring that the show wraps up on schedule.
As fans eagerly await further updates, it remains to be seen when “Kitty” Season 2 will finally grace the screens, but it is clear that external factors, such as the writers’ and actors’ strikes, are significantly impacting the timeline.
