Now, with Season 2, all of the characters might be again, and it was simply introduced {that a} fan-favorite from the OG motion pictures might be there too!
The primary season actually targeted on Kitty’s journey and stored visitor appearances to a minimal, permitting followers to fall in love together with her new pals. Most followers anticipated the identical to be true about Season 2, however Netflix simply launched the official trailer, and with it got here a surprising shock look from fan-favorite Peter Kavinsky. Yep, Peter is again, and I’ve some theories about why.
Peter Kavinsky Is Headed To South Korea
The Season 2 trailer for XO, Kitty units up what followers can anticipate properly, together with teasing a “pleasant face from dwelling” earlier than displaying a smiling Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo), decked out in a Stanford sweatshirt, after all. For many who aren’t obsessive about the To All The Boys trilogy and don’t rewatch it each likelihood they get, Peter is Kitty’s older sister, Lara Jean’s (Lana Condor) boyfriend.
Kitty is a giant a part of the rationale why Peter is in a relationship together with her sister, having despatched out Lara Jean’s love letters within the first movie. Initially, Kitty was skeptical about Peter, however he rapidly gained her over by giving her rides to high school and by no means making her really feel like a 3rd wheel when she tagged together with them. And although she’s a lot youthful, she typically gave the very best relationship recommendation to each Peter and Lara Jean to assist make their relationship stronger.
Over the course of the three movies, Peter rapidly turned the web’s favourite fictional boyfriend, and judging by fan reactions to the information of his visitor function, he nonetheless is.
I Have A Few Theories As To Why Peter Is Again
On the finish of To All The Boys: All the time and Ceaselessly, Peter headed off to Standford whereas Lara Jean went to NYU. Regardless of the lengthy distance, they managed to remain collectively, which Kitty mentions in Season 2. The timeline between the ultimate film and XO, Kitty is a bit muddled, however contemplating Peter seems carrying his Stanford sweater, it’s protected to imagine that he and LJ are nonetheless in faculty themselves.
Which begs the query, why is he in South Korea if he needs to be in California?
Admittedly, my first thought was that he was collaborating in a research overseas program that took him to South Korea within the hopes of understanding Lara Jean’s background extra. Nevertheless, that may give Centineo a serious function in XO, Kitty and that doesn’t appear doubtless given the remainder of the trailer.
After giving it some thought, the one rationalization I may consider is that he’s purposely paying Kitty a go to for some extra relationship recommendation. In spite of everything, Kitty is a professional on long-distance relationships, having been in a single with Dae whereas nonetheless in center faculty. After all, he may have simply referred to as, however Peter is understood for his grand gestures, and displaying up in particular person for recommendation from his girlfriend’s sister is about as grand because it will get.
Talking of his relationship with Lara Jean, there’s additionally the likelihood that he hopped on a aircraft to South Korea to ask for Kitty’s blessing to marry her. Certain, they’re nonetheless younger, nevertheless it’s clear from the trilogy that the 2 are supposed to be collectively. Plus, Peter is aware of how essential Kitty is to Lara Jean, so it is smart that he’d wish to ask for her opinion in particular person.
There’s additionally the likelihood that Peter is there to assist Kitty with one thing. It’s completely plausible to suppose that she calls Lara Jean to vent about some relationship hassle, and she or he, in flip, tells Peter. Perhaps Lara Jean can’t get day off her busy faculty schedule, however Peter’s is extra versatile, so he decides to pay his favourite little sister a go to.
Regardless of the case could also be, Peter’s cameo is bound to be a spotlight of what needs to be an thrilling season filled with drama and teenage hijinks.
