To all the sisters she’s visited before.

Lara Jean Song Covey, as portrayed by Lana Condor, will appear in season 3 of Netflix’s XO, Kitty.

Jenny Han announced the news on Instagram Friday. The video she posted finds Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) walking down a path before looking ahead of himself and saying, “Covey?”

The camera then flips to find both Condor and the show’s star, Anna Cathcart, sitting in director’s chairs. “Yes?” Condor says in response.

“’I don’t have to be so afraid of good-bye, because good-bye doesn’t have to be forever.’ Our Lara Jean is back!!” Han’s video is captioned.

XO, Kitty is a spinoff series inspired by the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film trilogy, which itself is based on Han’s bestselling books. Season 3 will consist of eight 30-minute episodes. Valentina Garza serves as the showrunner, executive producer and writer, while Han executive produces.

Season 3 of XO, Kitty finds Kitty Song Covey (Cathcart) returning “for her final year at KISS with her perfect senior year mapped out. She’s going to make meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future.”

“And she’s going to define her relationship with Min Ho. For real this time,” the synopsis continues. “But when surprise revelations throw her plans, and relationships, off course, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.”

XO, Kitty season 3 arrives to Netflix on April 2.

Blimey!

Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton reunited on Broadway in New York City this week, where the two actors are starring in separate productions.

The two previously shared the screen in all eight Harry Potter films, which were released between 2001 and 2011.

Radcliffe played the titular wizard Harry Potter in the beloved franchise, while Felton portrayed Potter’s nemesis Draco Malfoy.

Felton shared several snapshots of the pair’s reunion on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Broomsticks to Broadway @brilliantbway @cursedchildus,” adding tags for both his and Radcliffe’s respective shows, Every Brilliant Thing and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The Cursed Child show team also commented on Felton’s post: “The Slytherin and Gryffindor reunion we’ve all been waiting for,” referring to Malfoy’s and Potter’s houses in the fictional Hogwarts school, respectively.

The reunion is particularly meaningful, as Felton previously told Good Morning America he was inspired to reprise his role as Malfoy in the Broadway production of Cursed Child after seeing Radcliffe’s Broadway success in the years since they both wrapped the Harry Potter films.

“l’ve taken a few tips from Potter,” Felton said ahead of his Broadway debut last November. “He’s one of the early inspirations for me to come to Broadway.”

Radcliffe also appeared on GMA later that month and said he was blown away to have been able to give Felton, once considered the “cool kid” on the Harry Potter set, advice about being on Broadway.

Every Brilliant Thing, a one-man show, stars Daniel Radcliffe and is playing at the Hudson Theatre.

The ensemble play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is playing at the Lyric Theatre. Felton’s Cursed Child appearance will run until May 10.

The new Pixar film Hoppers has jumped its way into theaters.

It follows an animal lover named Mabel, voiced by Piper Curda, who uses brand-new technology to insert her consciousness into a robotic beaver capable of communicating with animals.

The film is funny, emotional and full of meaning — and Curda told ABC News those are distinct qualities of Pixar movies.

“That’s what’s so cool about Pixar,” Curda said. “One of my most visceral in-theater memories is the first 10 minutes of Up. Just being a child and sobbing. And to be also in a Pixar movie that has those first 10 minutes really just grab you like that is so, so special.”

Jon Hamm takes on the role of the smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo in Hoppers. Even before reading the script, he knew the film would have emotional depth.

“I knew from friends that had worked on previous [Pixar] films how long they spend developing their stories. It’s five, six years in some instances, and they don’t put it out until it’s ready,” Hamm said. “I’m also pleased that’s it’s an original story. It’s not based on a board game or a video game or this or that. It’s just a story about community and the environment and how we all can protect each other and lean on each other.”

Bobby Moynihan lends his voice to the charismatic beaver King George in the film. He said you can watch it multiple times and experience it differently.

“There’s a beautiful message in this movie, but I don’t think it hits you over the head with it,” Moynihan said. “The more I see the movie, the [more] different things happen for me. It’s absolutely beautiful to watch, but if you just watch it for the storyline itself and just for the heart, it’s equally as useful.”

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Pixar.

The time has come to say goodbye to the time travel romance Outlander. The series’ eighth and final season premieres on Starz Friday.

It promises to be an emotional conclusion to the Fraser family’s story, which began with Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) years-spanning love story and expanded to include their daughter, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), and her husband, Roger (Richard Rankin).

The first couple of episodes are a family reunion of sorts with the characters coming back together after some time apart. Skelton says “every scene had a bittersweet feeling” as members of the show’s large cast began to wrap.

“It was almost like death by a thousand cuts really,” Rankin adds. “You had one person wrap one day, then the next day, and then the next day. And people did get quite emotional.”

Multiple endings for the series were shot, and while Rankin says he knows which one was chosen, Skelton says she’s still in the dark.

“I actually, I’m kind of intrigued to see it with the fans,” she says. “I actually haven’t even asked, so I don’t know. Yeah, I’m in it with you guys.”

While the end is near, Skelton and Rankin both say if they could time travel to relive any moment on set, they’d go back to the beginning.

“Maybe my first day, I feel,” Skelton, who joined the show in season 2, says. “It might be cool to go back and just, I don’t know, relive what I was thinking. … It’d be fun to go back now with the knowledge I’ve got and just be like, ‘Mate, just go for it. Do something rogue with Brianna.’”

Rankin agrees, adding that he was “perhaps a little shy” when he first started and would go back to “just maybe have a little word with myself and, you know, maybe be a bit bolder.”

The official teaser trailer for the second season of Beef is here.

Netflix has shared the first trailer for season 2 of the popular Emmy-winning anthology series from A24 and creator Lee Sung Jin.

This season features a brand-new story with a completely different cast of characters. Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny star in season 2. The incident that sparks the new “beef” is a Gen Z couple witnessing an alarming fight between their millennial boss and his wife.

“Newly-engaged Ashley Miller (Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Melton), both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their General Manager, Joshua Martín (Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Mulligan),” according to its official synopsis. “Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club’s billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh Jung), who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang Ho).”

The teaser trailer begins with Issac’s Joshua Martín giving a voice-over monologue.

“Our members, do you know why they pay so much to come here?” he says. “The courts, the exclusivity, the discretion. People need a place where they can feel safe. Where they can pretend everything is OK. It’s the land of make believe.”

The cast also includes Seoyeon Jang as Eunice, William Fichtner as Troy, Mikaela Hoover as Ava and the musician BM in his acting debut as Woosh.

There will be eight 30-minute episodes in season 2. Lee returns as its creator, showrunner and executive producer. The first season’s stars, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, also return to executive produce season 2, joined by Mulligan, Isaac, Melton and Spaeny as executive producers.

Beef season 2 arrives to Netflix on April 16.

Daisy Edgar-Jones is taking on another popular book film adaptation.

The Normal People and Where the Crawdads Sing actress is in final negotiations to star in the movie adaptation of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, ABC Audio has learned.

This upcoming film will be based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Gabrielle Zevin. It will be made for Paramount Pictures.

CODA director Siân Heder will write and direct the upcoming film based on script drafts written by Mark Bomback and Zevin.

The film is a modern love story about two friends who meet during childhood and reunite as adults. Together, they create video games and find intimacy “in digital storytelling that eludes them in their real lives,” according to its official synopsis.

Zevin will executive produce while Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner will produce for Temple Hill.

Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway is also a singer, having contributed to movie soundtracks and starred in the musical Les Misérables. Now you can hear her sing a song from her upcoming movie Mother Mary, which she co-wrote with none other than Charli XCX.

“Burial” is a moody, electro-pop song that Anne co-wrote with Charli; Charli’s husband, George Daniel, who’s a member of the band The 1975; and Grammy-winning producer and artist Jack Antonoff.

A24, the studio releasing the film, also dropped a 30-second trailer for the movie’s soundtrack, which uses “Burial” as background music and shows Hathaway performing as the title character, who’s a pop star. The movie and the soundtrack arrive April 17.

Last year, Vogue described Anne’s character, Mother Mary, as “a sort of Gaga–Taylor Swift hybrid” who “has fled her tour and sought out the old friend who helped craft her all-consuming public persona in the first place.” That friend, played by Michaela Coel, is a fashion designer who Mother Mary wants to design a dress for her.

According to Vogue, none of the songs had been written by the time shooting started, leaving Hathaway to play a pop star without knowing what the pop star’s music sounded like. The magazine describes the film as “deeply weird.”
