The Covey sibling is back with a new season of her very own rom-com. If she feels familiar, it's Kitty from the To All the Boys I Loved Before franchise. The last season of XO, Kitty saw her navigating high school life at KISS (Korean Independent School of Seoul), where, coincidentally, her long-distance boyfriend and late mother used to study. She sets out to surprise her boyfriend and learn more about her mother’s life, only to find herself entangled in a web of relationship struggles, long-kept secrets, and nearly getting expelled. In this new season, Kitty explores her sexuality and the love triangle between her, Min Ho, and Yuri, with some help from what we can only call the most wholesome cameo yet: Peter Kavinsky, her elder sister's boyfriend! We can't wait to binge-watch this rollercoaster of a rom-com and crush on Noah Centineo all over again. Watch the trailer here.

If you're a fan of murder mysteries and classic "who dunnit" scenarios, you'll be hooked on Reunion. The movie follows a high school reunion, where we meet a football star, the school mascot, a hopeless romantic, the class president, a young millionaire, a drunk history teacher, and a cat lady. When the young millionaire turns up dead at the Ridgeview High School reunion of the 2001 batch, the murderer (you guessed it) is one of them. Add in the classic "stuck with a murderer" situation—no Wi-Fi and phone lines are cut. But luckily, everyone heard two distinct gunshots before the murder, and the gun should lead to the killer, right? Easy? As the tension builds, we learn that each of them has something to hide, and the killer is moving through their midst.

Bonus: it stars Nina Dobrev (from The Vampire Diaries), Chace Crawford (from Gossip Girl), and Michael Hitchcock—so there are plenty of reasons to binge this!
