He's smart, he's good looking, and he's got a great sense of humor. He's Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer. As a Miami forensics expert, he spends his days solving crimes, and nights committing them. But Dexter lives by a strict code of honor that is both his saving grace and lifelong burden. Torn between his deadly compulsion and his desire for true happiness, Dexter is a man in profound conflict with the world and himself. Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.

When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Golden Globe® winner Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar.

'XO, Kitty' Renewed For Season Three at Netflix

XO, KITTY RENEWED FOR A THIRD SEASON AT NETFLIX

Kitty will return to KISS for another semester in Season 3!

'XO, Kitty' season two key art

· Netflix renews XO, Kitty - the spinoff series inspired by the popular To All the Boys I've Loved Before film franchise - for a third season.

· "I'm so excited to head back to Seoul for another season with our incredible cast and crew. If you thought junior year at KISS brought the drama...just wait," XO, Kitty Showrunner, Executive Producer & Writer Jessica O'Toole tells TUDUM.com. "I know we left fans on a cliffhanger at the end of Season 2 but I can promise season 3 will be worth the wait, including our first summer episode - not to mention plenty of romance, friendship, adventure...and kissing. Lots of kissing."


· XO, Kitty Season 2 premiered on January 16, 2025 and debuted at #2 on the English TV List with 14.2 million views - bringing back Season 1 at No. 6 with 3.1 million views - and the original 2018 film that introduced us to Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart), To All the Boys I've Loved Before, reappeared at No. 6 on the English films list (3.1 million views) the week after. The Young Adult Romantic Comedy series, which is produced by Awesomeness Studios and ACE Entertainment, appeared in the Top 10 in 89 countries in its first week.

· Season 3 details and additional information will be shared at a later time.

ABOUT XO, KITTY SEASON 2

Synopsis: Teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey is back in Seoul for a new semester at KISS. She's single for the first time in a long time, and ready for a fresh start: no more meddling, no more drama. Maybe just some casual dating. Emphasis on casual. But she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother's past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change. As secrets unravel and bonds are tested, Kitty will learn that life, family and love are more complicated than she ever imagined.

S2 Release Date: January 16, 2025

Showrunner / Executive Producer / Writer: Jessica O'Toole

Executive Producers: Jenny Han (Creator) and Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment

Studio: Awesomeness Studios

S2 Cast: Anna Cathcart (Kitty Song Covey), Minyeong Choi (Dae), Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Regan Aliyah (Juliana), Peter Thurnwald (Alex), Philippe Lee (Mr. Moon), Audrey Huynh (Stella), with Jocelyn Shelfo (Madison), Michael K. Lee (Professor Lee), Sasha Bhasin (Praveena), Joshua Lee (Jin)

For more on XO, Kitty, visit the Netflix Media Center and the official Instagram: @xokittynetflix.


###

Season 2 ended with Kitty getting her scholarship renewed so she can come back to KISS for senior year. She also fulfilled her late mother’s wishes by reuniting her fractured family, discovering relatives she never even knew existed. 

And, much to her surprise, this teen matchmaker fell for her ex-boyfriend’s best friend, Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), ticking off almost every trope on the rom-com checklist as they went from enemies to friends to could-be lovers. Though their slow-burn romance is still simmering, Kitty asks Min Ho to wait before they part ways for the summer.

“I know we left fans on a cliffhanger at the end of Season 2, but I can promise Season 3 will be worth the wait, including our first summer episode — not to mention plenty of romance, friendship, adventure ... and kissing,” says O’Toole. “Lots of kissing.”

See a video of Cathcart above holding the script for the first episode of the upcoming third season.

As most XO, Kitty fans know, the series is a spin-off inspired by the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film franchise, which was based on creator and executive producer Jenny Han’s novels of the same name

XO, Kitty Season 2 premiered on Jan. 16 and debuted at No. 2 on the English TV List with 14.2 million views. The young adult romantic comedy, produced by Awesomeness Studios and ACE Entertainment, appeared in the Top 10 in 89 countries in its first week. The release also inspired viewers to revisit Season 1 (which resurfaced on the English TV List at No. 6 with 3.1 million views) and the original 2018 To All the Boys film the week after Season 2’s release (which reappeared at No. 6 on the English films list with 3.1 million views). 

Keep visiting Tudum to learn more about where all the KISS lovebirds go from here. In the meantime, relive all the K-drama of XO, Kitty Season 2, only on Netflix.

“We understand that the demand for cost-friendly things to do in February half term is ever-growing. Each year parents look for things to do with their children come rain or shine. So, over the winter period our team has worked especially hard to get Nickelodeon Land open before the rest of the park. We want families and friends to be able to have something to look forward to in the first academic break of the year.”

As well as offering a day ticket, the park is also offering an ‘Adventure Package’ which is a great bargain. This means guests can buy one ticket for four activities – and these don’t need to be redeemed all in the same day.

They can choose any day of the half term period to carry out each adventure which includes an eTicket to Nickelodeon Land, entry to Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, a round of Adventure Golf and a skating session at Pleasure Beach Resort Arena with free skate hire.

“We’ve also created a package which includes four exciting activities. This means that parents and children can enjoy a packed itinerary of activities for half term all under one ticket, without the hassle.”

SteamRocket announces the launch of Smart Clicks, an innovative digital safety and kindness program for Coachella Valley youth, made possible through ChangeX and Nickelodeon Our World US Community Fund funding. This support aligns with Nickelodeon's belief in the power of kids to create change in themselves, their communities, and the world. The program addresses critical needs in youth online safety through interactive education focused on internet safety, social media awareness, gaming habits, and digital kindness.

Through this initiative, youth can actively participate in shaping their communities for the better, working alongside adult co-leaders on projects focused on important issues like mental health, empathy, and civic engagement.

"We don't want to assume what kids are going through online—we want to hear it directly from them," says Elle Decker, Co-founder of SteamRocket. "They're the ones living in this digital world every day, and their voices are critical in shaping a program that makes a difference."

SteamRocket collects valuable input from local youth and parents through anonymous surveys. Parents can share their perspectives and concerns at bit.ly/smartclicks1, while youth 17 and under are encouraged to contribute their experiences through a separate survey at bit.ly/smartclicks. This anonymous community input will help shape a program that directly addresses local needs and challenges.

Once launched, through interactive games, real-life scenarios, and open discussions, Smart Clicks will teach Valley youth to:

📌 Recognize and respond to cyberbullying
📌 Develop healthy relationships with gaming and social media
📌 Protect personal information and avoid online scams
📌 Use digital platforms to promote kindness and positive interaction

This initiative is vital as screen time and digital interactions reach historic highs among young people. Through Smart Clicks, SteamRocket seeks to provide Coachella Valley youth with practical tools and knowledge for making safer, smarter online choices.

Parents and youth are encouraged to take part in shaping this important program by completing the anonymous surveys. Schools and community organizations looking to bring Smart Clicks to their students can find more information at steamrocket.co.

Parenting, Preschool and The New Normal: Kidscreen Summit 2025 Looks at How Raising Kids Has Changed

In this Kidscreen Summit recap, we examine how a shifting cultural landscape, AI-driven entertainment and the pandemic's lasting effects are reshaping how young children grow, learn and engage with media.

A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids | Kidscreen Summit 2025

The way families raise young children is changing—a trend that was in focus at the 2025 Kidscreen Summit event. 

Andrea Strauss and Jane Gould on stage

In a panel called “A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids,” industry experts Andrea Strauss (Senior Vice President of Nickelodeon Brand & Content Insights) and Jane Gould (co-founder and partner of wonderworks insights + strategy) explored how shifting cultural norms, technology and the pandemic have reshaped parenting, childhood experiences and preschool entertainment. Their discussion revealed how today’s parents have redefined traditional parenting, adapting to a rapidly changing media landscape and navigating the lasting effects of an unprecedented global event.

Preschoolers | A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids

A major theme of the conversation was the transformation of parenting styles. Parents today prioritize emotional connection, self-expression and adaptability over traditional discipline. Rather than following strict, expert-led guidelines, many are crafting their own parenting approaches, often seeking advice from online communities rather than traditional sources. As Strauss explained, “Kids’ worlds have evolved from a more rigid, authority-based reality to a more flexible, individualized approach. Parenting styles have shifted from control to warmth, and today’s families operate more like teams, where kids’ opinions matter.”

The panel also addressed the lingering effects of the pandemic on young children and their families. Many preschoolers today experienced limited socialization during their formative years, and that has impacted their emotion regulation skills and adaptability. As Strauss emphasized, “The world kids are growing up in has moved from a shared popular culture to one of infinite personalization… This is truly the pandemic generation. Born from 2017 to 2022, their births bookend one of the most disruptive and consequential events in their parents’ lifetimes.” 

Digital Native Parents Are Raising AI Native Kids | A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids

Another major focus was the evolving role of digital media. AI-driven algorithms now shape children’s entertainment experiences, creating a highly personalized viewing landscape. As a result, young viewers expect instant, customized content. While this shift has changed the way kids engage with media, it has also influenced parental priorities. Many parents now seek entertainment that fosters emotional intelligence and models positive behaviors, reinforcing the importance of social-emotional learning alongside traditional education.

The conversation also highlighted how parents’ trust in traditional authorities has waned. Unlike previous generations, which largely accepted expert recommendations, today’s parents are more likely to challenge conventional wisdom. Many are embracing alternative educational paths, such as hybrid learning and homeschooling, and turning to social media and peer networks for parenting advice. 

The Pandemic Effect | A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids

Gould underlined this, adding that “83% of parents told us that the world was becoming less safe for kids. Eighty-one percent say there’s too much pressure on parents today to be perfect, and 75% say it’s harder to be a parent today than it was for [their] parents.”

Strauss noted that “rather than conformity, the messages kids hear from parents celebrate self-discovery and support individual happiness and new definitions of success. The pendulum has swung from ‘children should be seen and not heard’ to ‘children should be seen, heard and understood.'”

Family And Feelings Are Key Content Drivers | A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids

Family bonding emerged as a central theme throughout the discussion. Parents and children today spend more time together than previous generations, prioritizing shared experiences and co-viewing entertainment. According to Gould, “Portraying positive family relationships is key. They are both looking for content that showcases family, parents and kids, because—guess what—they’re in a bubble. It’s all about us. What are we going to do? How will we feel about this? What are we going to watch?” She emphasized that content plays a vital role in strengthening family connections, noting that “91% of parents agree that content offers something the whole family can enjoy together, and 90% agree that watching content helps them bond with their children.”

Content Brings Joy & Connection | A New Preschool Paradigm: How Families Are Navigating Life with Young Kids

Ultimately, the panel underscored how parenting and early childhood experiences are undergoing a fundamental transformation. Parents are redefining success, happiness and well-being, adapting to an unpredictable world with more flexible and personalized approaches to raising the next generation.

COWABUNGA! PUMA Teams Up With 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'

COWABUNGA! PUMA TEAMS UP WITH
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

PUMA x 'TMNT'

Herzogenaurach, February 11th, 2025 – PUMA enlists the help of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [TMNT] for a radical new collaboration.

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo – New York City’s pizza-loving, skateboarding, 
crime-fighting quartet – team up with PUMA to create a range of bold streetwear essentials packed with hidden easter eggs.

PUMA x 'TMNT'

Comic-book protagonists turned TV and film heroes, the Turtle bros take over PUMA’s Suede XL and RS-X sneaker silhouettes, which are accompanied by a limited-edition apparel capsule. Exposed to Mutagen Ooze and designed for secret missions, the collection comes with tech wear inspired executions and details.

PUMA x 'TMNT'

Cut-and-sew offerings are highlighted by the PUMATECH Track Jacket and Cargo Pants, which feature a cracked, shell-like pattern alongside co-branded tags and logos hits. The PUMATECH Cargo Vest is crafted with a technical ripstop material, featuring nunchaku-inspired zipper tabs. Essential streetwear silhouettes feature specially created PUMA x TMNT graphics, including the Graphic Crew and Graphic Tee.

PUMA x 'TMNT'

From deep within the New York City sewers, the collection’s footwear is inspired by the Turtles themselves, and their supervillain foe, Krang. The Suede XL is reimagined with a TMNT motif, once again featuring a shell-like debossed pattern across the green upper, with a contrasting Formstrip in purple suede, and custom graphic elements like “Cowabunga” hits on the outsole and pizza imagery on the shoe’s tongue. A second Suede XL pays homage to Krang, with a special purple color scheme, bespoke eyelets and details that evoke the brain-like reptilian character. Finally, the collaboration’s RS-X is themed around the Turtles’ sewer lair, with a green and black colorway elevated by cracked leather, 3D printing on the tongue and an ooze-covered insole.

PUMA x 'TMNT'

PUMA x TMNT is available starting Friday, February 14 from PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores 
and selected PUMA stockists.
