The Song-Covey sisters are back!
Lana Condor, Janel Parrish and Anna Cathcart reunited at the Unforgettable Gala in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, and the actresses — who played sisters Lara Jean, Margot and Kitty, respectively, in the hit Netflix movies To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before — were emotional as they posed for photos together.
The trilogy of films were adapted from Jenny Han’s bestselling books, and the author shared a group shot of herself with Condor, Parrish and Cathcart on Instagram. The Song-Covey sisters looked all grown up as they smiled together at the black-tie event.
The Trumpet will be blown ˹a second time˺, then—behold!—they will rush from the graves to their Lord.They will cry, “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of rest? This must be what the Most Compassionate warned us of; the messengers told the truth!”(The Quran - Chapter Yasin : 51 - 52)
Parrish, 35, shared a blurry photo on her Instagram Story of her hugging Han, who went on to executive produce another one of her bestselling book trilogies, The Summer I Turned Pretty, for Prime Video. The Pretty Little Liars alum called it a “blurry but happy reunion.”
She also posted several selfies with her former on-screen sisters — and a sweet shot of her and Cathcart, 20, hugging on the red carpet outside the event — as she called the night “the reunion my heart needed.”
“The Song Covey sisters for life 🥹,” Parrish wrote in the caption. “Love you, sisters.”
Condor, 26 — who starred as the leading lady in the films and navigated a sometimes tumultuous young love story with Peter Kavinsky ( Noah Centineo) — commented on the post, “I love you so much sister.”
Atop the photo of her hugging Cathcart, Parrish admitted, “When I tell you we cried I mean we CRIED.”
Saturday night’s surprise sister reunion comes months after Cathcart starred in a spinoff series about her To All the Boys character, younger sister and troublemaker Kitty.
She told that returning to the character, whom she first met as a 13-year-old when she auditioned for the role in 2017, for XO Kitty was “like coming back to see an old friend” and “definitely a pinch-me moment. “
“I definitely did not think that I would be a part of this universe and this role for this many years, and to get to explore in the way that I have is something that blows my mind on a daily,” Cathcart said of the spinoff, which was later greenlit for a second season.
“Honestly, none of us expected To All the Boys to become what it did, or to have the reaction that it did,” she admitted. “I definitely did not expect it. I think it’s one of the most unforeseeable things that has happened in my life. I never would have expected this journey to become what it was.”
She also shared that she’d been in touch with both of her on-screen older sisters for advice in the lead-up to starring in the series.
“Right at the start, when I was hearing about these ideas, I was asking them about advice and telling them about these things that were happening, these different conversations, and they were honestly such a great support system,” she said of the actresses, who she called “role models.”
She leaned on Condor in particular, she said, as she navigated the “great things that come with it, the overwhelming things and all the feelings that come with the excitement of being a lead and being at the center of a story.”
“I looked up to her for so long that it’s wild that I’m in a sliver of the same way experiencing those types of things, too,” she explained.
Condor has also been open in the past about her love for the trilogy, as she told in 2021 that the role of Lara Jean made her feel “more connected to my community than ever before.”
“The people that come up to me, they share with me their experience in high school and about how they felt seen and represented in the movies,” she said. “My identity has been deeply enriched because of these experiences.”
