WHO IS SIMON FROM “XO, KITTY”?
In conversation with TUDUM, anna cathcart confessed that the inclusion of the character was a last-minute decision by the showrunner Sascha Rothchildso his appearance was a surprise to almost the entire production team.
“She was like: Let’s put a name on it. It’s more fun. Let’s go with Simon’”said the 19-year-old actress.
As Carhcart commented, the saga shows that there is always something more in the life of the main character, who will not be afraid to go on an adventure once more, this time to find out more about Simon.
”There was always a boy in the letter and a boy in Eve’s life that Kitty was going to be curious about.”, he added.
Although the identity of Simon is for now a mystery, it is more than certain that it also constitutes one of the keys to the second season of the story.
