Anna Cathcart is doing it for the plot — but which one? Cathcart, 19, opens up to TODAY about juggling being both a college student and the star of Netflix's latest teen drama, 'XO, Kitty.'
Anna Cathcart had just started her first semester at the University of British Columbia. The goodbyes were said. The adventure, just begun. She was ready to get acquainted with the Vancouver campus, about an hour away from home, and make new friends.“I was so excited about it,” the 19-year-old tells TODAY.com. “And then I was like, ‘I just started school, I’m missing the first few days of classes, that’s so crazy.’ But this is also important to me.
Her slight self-consciousness reads like a person protective of their image, something most 19-year-olds feel when posing for pictures. But this photoshoot isn’t a casual #DoItForTheGram moment with friends; it’s for a profile centered on her rising stardom. Despite her success, Cathcart she never thought she'd reach that elusive point of"making it" as an actor."I've many times compared it to when kids dream, like, 'I'm going to be an astronaut,' or 'I'm going to be a ballerina,'" she says.
“I had never even seen a script before, or ever done an audition with lines, and it was like, ‘Oh, you booked this, and you’re moving across the country for seven months,’” she says. Each September, when her teachers would ask her what her year looks like, she'd think,"Dude, I don't know what I'm doing next week."
"“A big priority for sure was to realize that Kitty was not someone that has one person forever, because she’s learning about herself through other people,” Cathcart says. Pictured: Choi Min-yeong as Dae and Anna Cathcart as Kitty Song Covey in "XO, Kitty."The show ends with three potential love interests for Kitty, but none of them turn into full-fledged romantic relationships.
Fans online already have strong opinions about who Kitty should “end up with,” organized into self-identified “teams.” On red carpets, Cathcart is often asked about her allegiance: “Team X or Team Y?”“I’m on the ‘XO, Kitty’ side of TikTok. This feels so self-centered but I’m so excited to see that people care this much.”But still, she appreciates the edits made by devoted and opinionated fans invested in Kitty’s romantic future.
“If this happened in real life, I would just collapse, like, it's too much to handle,” Cathcart notes. “Instead of being like, ‘Wait no, I want to figure it out ... I know love and I have it dialed,’ she’s like, ‘Wait, this is exciting, that I don’t have it dialed because so many things can happen,’” Cathcart says.
She traveled to New York, glued to her computer for parts of the trip to stay on top of her schoolwork. When telling this story, months later, she conveys both disappointment and excitement.
