The Covey Sisters from ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ Have a Group Text

One of the standout characteristics of Netflix’s smash hit rom-com To All the Boys of Loved Before is the palpable chemistry between leads Lana Condor (Lara Jean Covey) and Noah Centineo (Peter Kavinsky). But let’s not forget the chemistry Condor has with her on-screen sisters, Anna Cathcart (Kitty) and Janel Parrish (Margot). The Covey family love is real, and the way it has continued off-screen is the stuff of sisterhood dreams.

“The first day we filmed, me and Lana and Janel were acting like we had already known each other for years,” Cathcart, who plays the whip-smart youngest Covey sister, told Vulture. “We were so close and so comfortable with each other and always making each other giggle. It was great. We became like real-life sisters and would always hang out on and off set. We still keep in contact. We have our Covey sister group chat, and we are always texting. I love them so much.”

Cathcart divulged that she and her on-screen sisters talk about everything in their chat, and given the film’s current status as a pop-culture phenomenon, they find it especially fun to freak out over seeing celebrities talk about it on social media.

“Yesterday Millie Bobby Brown posted about it on her story and I, like, screamed,” she told Vulture. “I was freaking out because I love Millie Bobby. Hailey Baldwin as well — she posted it on her story, and me and Lana were texting back for half an hour being like, ‘What?'”

Condor recently admitted to Brit + Co that her favorite thing about To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before — which is based on the best-selling book by Jenny Han — is her character’s relationship with her sisters. “I love that wholesome family dynamic that they have, even though it’s kind of an unconventional one,” she said. “I think it’s really refreshing to see families that get along.”

Book adaptations are becoming some of Hollywood’s biggest hits (just take a look at The Idea of You, Killers of the Flower Moon, Tell Me Lies, and more). And we can add another adaptation to our list of most-anticipated 2025 movies. The Electric State trailer has officially dropped, and it’s the perfect watch for sci-fi adventure enthusiasts (and any fans of dystopian fiction, really).

Rated PG-13 for some violence and language, the upcoming film is based on a 2018 book by Simon Stålenhag — it’s even a number one best seller on Amazon. Read on to learn which ultra-famous actors are joining Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt in The Electric State, and the platform that you’ll be able to view it on.


Watch The First 'Electric State' Teaser Trailer

Not only is this new movie for sci-fi fans, but just like MBB's Stranger Things and Chris Pratt's Guardians of the Galaxy, it actually provides a lot of emotion. Millie's character Michelle opens the trailer by telling us everyone lost something after the rebellion: "Robots lost their freedom. Humans lost connection with each other. And I lost everyone I loved."

The Electric State might be set in the 90s but it's a relevant, gripping, and breathtaking story will pull at your heartstrings.

“It’s not the kind of thing that typically gets made to be a blockbuster style movie like this," Chris Pratt said at New York Comic Con, after explaining he had planned to take some time off from acting before reading the script. "It’s so original, it’s a huge swing...I thought that these types of movies might be my last opportunity to be in a big movie like this. I have to look at every opportunity like that. And I did. It’s just such a great story. I was moved to tears reading.”

“It truly takes you on a journey,” Millie Bobby Brown added. “Escapism is huge, and I think it’s so lovely for families to have that moment where they’re able to take themselves out of this world that is so scary and put themselves into a world that is so transformative.”

​What’s The Electric State About?

Netflix

The Electric State Plot

The Electric State is set in the American West in late 1997. Similar to Black Mirror, the United States has fallen victim to a virtual-reality system that leads to a rather high-tech dystopian universe. The story follows an orphaned teenage girl to the edge of the continent while on a mission to find her younger brother. But, she doesn’t do it alone — she’s accompanied by a sidekick, cartoon-looking robot, and a smuggler.

​When and Where Is The Electric State Being Released?

The Electric State Release Date

The show may be called Nobody Wants This, but I definitely do. And I want more. I sat down to watch what I thought would just be a funny show, and I wound up finishing the whole series in one sitting. I didn't even get up for bathroom breaks. It was just that good! Adam Brody and Kristen Bell's new rom-com has to be one of my favorite shows I've seen this entire year for how witty, charming, romantic, and clever it is. Everything about it will have you wishing it would beat out The Bear for Best Comedy, and that's saying a lot. So let's get into 10 reasons why you'll also think it's the best TV show ever.

'Nobody Wants This' has the best TV kiss I've seen in such a long time.

Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Starting off strong, we need to talk about that kiss, especially since everyone's talking about it, and I have to say I understand why. I have a ranking of best onscreen kisses. Among them are Nick and Jess' kiss in New Girl — because obviously — Noah and Allie in The Notebook, I mean I could go on and on. And this one delivered. From the "put your bag down" to the face grab, and the going in for seconds. It was iconic on so many levels.

"In the script, it says, 'It's the best kiss of her life' or 'It's the best kiss of all time' or something," Adam Brody told EW. It definitely was.

The banter is top tier.

Hopper Stone/Netflix

I'm an avid banterer myself. I love some good chit-chat, and witty back and forth. And this show is brilliant when it comes to the funny one-liners and dialogue between the characters. And not just between Noah and Joanne! Sasha and Morgan were hilarious, and Sasha and Esther! Everyone had great banter, I was truly obsessed.

Adam Brody as a hot rabbi — need I say more?

Stefania Rosini/Netflix

In case you didn't know from the endless Tiktok edits and thirst traps being posted of Adam Brody in this show — he plays a hot rabbi. And he delivers. His character is so charming, funny, emotionally secure, and witty, and somehow this character is even more adorable and funny than Seth Cohen. I loved Noah and I think it's about time we get some green flag characters in TV shows! Thanks, hot rabbi!

The chemistry is ~chef's kiss~.

Hopper Stone/Netflix

I have to say I was slightly unsure about these two starring together in a rom-com, because I know them as such iconic characters elsewhere. It was hard to picture anything other than Seth Cohen and Veronica Mars. But once you see their scenes together, you have no choice but to see the undeniable and palpable chemistry between them. It was some of the best on-screen chemistry I've seen in a hot minute.

'Nobody Wants This' is based on a real-life love story.

Hopper Stone/Netflix

The show was written by Erin Foster, who based it on falling in love with her husband in real life. Although he's not a rabbi IRL, she is an opinionated & successful podcaster who fell in love with a Jewish man from a traditional household who was encouraged to marry a Jewish woman. The show outlines their struggles, and what it was like for Erin to enter a community she didn't know much about. She wrote this show as a "love letter" to him and their relationship. And spoiler alert: she converted, and now they're married with a baby! So, this story gets a happy ending IRL too!

If you love The O.C., it's a must-watch.

Hopper Stone/Netflix

Did you know that not only is Seth Cohen, AKA Adam Brody, involved in Nobody Wants This but so is another The O.C.star? The writer of Nobody Wants This, Erin Foster, was in The O.C. for a couple of episodes. She played a character named Heather for the 3rd and 4th season, so it's a reunion of sorts! Some people are even saying Noah is like if Seth Cohen moved to LA and became a rabbi.

The side characters are even better than the main ones.

Hopper Stone/Netflix

Sometimes I'm watching a show with so many side plots and characters that I'm genuinely confused as to what I'm watching (*cough Bridgerton cough*), but I truly enjoyed the side characters in this show. From the sibling banter on both sides, to the crazy parents, and even the WAGs, it was enjoyable all around. They even had you understanding and rooting for the ex-girlfriend to find love too! That never happens!

It's a mature love story.

Adam Rose/Netflix

Unlike most series that center early twenty-somethings navigating life and love for the very first time, this show is about adults who have actually lived some life. The characters are in their mid-to-late thirties, and they've been through many relationships, gained success in their career, and know what they want. There isn't this painfully obnoxious theme of "I don't know who I am or what I want in life" that most romantic comedies showcase for younger characters entering the real world.

I also happened to love Noah and Joanne's decisions. They chose to be emotionally healthy and sound; they didn't make stupid decisions just for the plot. While these characters were a little flawed, I really felt like they were honest, mature, and sound at their core.

It's like someone is reading your innermost thoughts and fears (in a good way).

Adam Rose/Netflix

A few moments in particular stuck a deep chord for viewers. In one scene, Noah tries to get Joanne to reveal her deepest fear in a sex shop while holding some very questionable items (it's a long story), only for her to finally admit it's that, "I will become emotionally dependent on a guy who will one day realize that I’m too much and break my heart.” That. Hit. Deep.

"I often feel like 'Nobody Wants This' because I'm a lot and I'll never change," one fan says on TikTok. "Even though it's just a show, I still believe [love like] this exists."

The show also covers some other pain points like jealousy (in a mature way, because we're adults, right?), exes, and just about everything you can think of. The writers really did a great job with getting to the heart of people and their innermost fears and insecurities.

'Nobody Wants This' was ​actually filmed in LA.

Sefania Rosini/Netflix

Although a variety of TV shows and movies are set in LA, most film in "Hollywood North," AKA Canada. Because of that, we miss out on iconic Los Angeles hotspots and scenery we'd get if they actually filmed in the city. But lucky for us, this show did actually film in LA! You can spot several famous spots on the East side of Los Angeles like Goldburger, and the Los Feliz Theatre.
