XO, Kitty premiered in May 2023, featuring Kitty's journey from the U.S. to South Korea for a long-distance relationship. Moving to a foreign high school exposed Kitty to new adventures and people, leading to self-discovery. The first season was just the beginning of Kitty's growth.

Throughout season 1, she started to uncover more about herself, but she believes it is a continuous journey. Cathcart shared that it was a bit overwhelming as she was also going through a similar process in her personal life. Even traveling to Korea for filming required a lot of self-reflection and understanding of her own desires and values.
