During avirtual junket forTo All the Boys: Always and Foreverthis past February, Cathcart sort of teased at this development in an interview, saying:
“In the first movie, Kitty is definitely just the little sister. She’s in middle school and she’s young, and she’s there to be the pesky little sister to Lara Jean. And in the third movie, you start to see her go onto her own path, where has her own small little romance and she’s going through these things. She has so many good role models in her life, with Margot and Lara Jean, and you definitely get to see Kitty grow up a bit. That was really special for me to experience, but also for fans to see.”
The franchise founded massive success after 2018’sTo All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, even being touted as one of the most viewed original films on Netflix with intense repeat viewing. Kitty’s character was also well received by fans, being called a “scene-stealer” in most cases, so it is no surprise she landed her spinoff series followingTo All The Boys’success.
