“XO, Kitty” Scores Season 3 on Netflix, Debuts Summer Episode Post-Cliffhanger!

EXCLUSIVE: The journey continues for Kitty in South Korea! Netflix has given the green light for a third season of the hit YA comedy series XO, Kitty. The series, a spinoff from the beloved To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie series, will see more romantic escapades following its Valentine’s Day renewal announcement. (Check out the announcement video below.) This news arrives shortly after the premiere of Season 2 on January 16.

Upon hearing the news of the show’s renewal, XO, Kitty showrunner Jessica O’Toole shared a teaser about the upcoming season. She mentioned how Season 3 will resolve the suspenseful cliffhanger from Season 2, where Kitty decided to spend the summer touring with Min Ho (played by Sang Heon Lee) and his family. Like the previous seasons, the new season will continue to follow Kitty’s experiences at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS), focusing on her third semester, after a brief summer adventure.

“I’m thrilled to return to Seoul for another season with our amazing cast and crew. If you thought the drama peaked during junior year at KISS, just wait,” O’Toole commented. “Although we left fans with a major cliffhanger, I can assure you that Season 3 will be worth the wait. It includes our very first summer episode and promises plenty of romance, friendship, adventures, and yes, lots of kissing.”

In the latest season of XO, Kitty, produced by Awesomeness Studios and ACE Entertainment, Kitty Song Covey, portrayed by Anna Cathcart, returns to Seoul for another semester at KISS after an eventful end to her initial semester abroad. Now single, she aims for a fresh start with goals to avoid meddling and drama and to explore casual dating outside her usual circle. A mysterious letter related to her mother’s past launches her on a quest to uncover family secrets, while new characters at KISS potentially alter not just romantic relationships but career paths as well.

The Season 2 ensemble cast includes Anna Cathcart (Kitty Song Covey), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Minyeong Choi (Dae), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Gia Kim (Yuri), 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), and Joshua Lee (Jin). In a notable guest appearance, Noah Centineo, celebrated for his role in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy, reprised his character Peter Kavinsky, the boyfriend to Kitty’s older sister Lara Jean (played by Lana Condor), in episode 6 of Season 2.
