Noah Centineo Shares How His Peter Kavinsky Cameo in ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2 Came to Be and Lana Condor’s Reaction

Resuming his role as Peter Kavinsky in ‘XO, Kitty’ season 2 was both thrilling and daunting for Noah Centineo. The 28-year-old actor acknowledges that it was intimidating to take on Peter’s role again. He made a comeback as the adored character from ‘To All the Boys’ in an episode. He admits to feeling under pressure because fans love the ‘To All the Boys’ series so much and he didn’t want to let them down.

Centineo called the cameo a “bit of a risk,” particularly considering he hadn’t played the role for a number of years. Jenny Han invented the character. But he was keen to back Anna Cathcart, who plays Lara Jean’s younger sister in the spinoff. He commends Cathcart’s commitment, pointing out how diligent and well-prepared she was for the ‘To All the Boys’ movies and how she still does well in ‘XO, Kitty’.

Centineo was already in Seoul, South Korea, filming season two of ‘The Recruit’, so the timing of his appearance was ideal. Centineo enthusiastically accepted the cameo when producer Matt Kaplan contacted him. Lana Condor, who plays Lara Jean, was ecstatic when he told her the news and called it “awesome.”

In a behind-the-scenes video, Cathcart talked about how strange it was to see Centineo again after they hadn’t worked together on the set since the last ‘To All the Boys’ movie. She thought about how unique it was to collaborate on a project at a different point in both their personal and character development.

Centineo is concentrating on his role in ‘The Recruit’ season 2, which debuts on 30th January, now that his cameo in ‘XO, Kitty’ is over. The drama, which was produced on location in South Korea, features more action in this new season as his character Owen Hendricks becomes involved in a risky spy mission.

Centineo is still open to doing romance roles in the future, but he would also like to collaborate with directors he respects. His current focus is on a variety of tasks that advance his career; he is unsure of his romantic future.
