What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week - May 5What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week - May 12Netflix’s “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” revitalized the teen rom-com, inspiring thousands of pale imitations. The series author, Jenny Han, is back with a new story, taking the baby sister of the trilogy’s protagonist and placing her front and center. The series follows Kitty Song-Covey as she leaves Portland for a fancy boarding school in Seoul, hoping to reconnect with her roots and her long distance boyfriend.

Rachel Seo Jenny Han’s 2014 novel “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” first introduces readers to Kitty Song Covey as the mischievous younger sister of main protagonist Lara Jean. Kitty, a precocious pre-teen, harbors a penchant for instigating drama — an affinity that sets off the chain of events leading to the fake-but-eventually-real relationship between her sister and love interest Peter Kavinsky. Memorialized by Anna Cathcart in the 2018 film version of the book — which spawned two sequels and launched the careers of Lana Condor and Noah Centineo, who played the leads — Kitty often serves as the comic relief, offsetting Lara Jean’s careful romantic idealism. But in spinoff series “XO, Kitty,” which premiered on the streaming service on Thursday, the little sister becomes the star, and Cathcart steps into the spotlight.
