XO, Kitty, available to stream globally on OTT platforms, is one of the most highly anticipated rom-coms, combining an international teen drama, romantic hijinks and emotional relationships through the beloved character Kitty Song Covey and her crew of KISS friends. The third season is highly anticipated by fans, bringing more romantic misadventures, dilemmas of being a senior, multigenerational family relationships and many swoon-worthy moments for Kitty as she embarks on her final year at the Korean Independent School of Seoul, following the emotional rollercoaster that was Season 2.
The eight-episode season premieres soon on Netflix and will feature Anna Cathcart reprising her role as Kitty, Sang Heon Lee reprising his role as Min Ho, and will include a special cameo appearance from Lana Condor as Kitty’s sister, Lara-Jean. Fans can also expect shocking surprises, deeper connections among the KISS group, and the fun and loving mix of comedy and young romance that made the To All the Boys series a fan favourite.

XO, Kitty Season 3: Plot
Kitty Song Covey comes back to KISS for her last year as a senior and has a plan for the perfect senior year, including the following:
– Create meaningful memories with her friends
– Get to know her relatives in Korea better
– To decide on some important things for her future (including college)
– Finally, defining her relationship with Min Ho (this time for real)
Unfortunately, surprise twists and turns will get in the way of her plans, and she’ll need to resolve to embrace the chaos of her world. Expect more romance, friendship, adventure, drama (with reportedly much more than seasons before), and lots of kissing to come this season. The new season reportedly begins with a summer episode and has more mature subject matter as the senior year progresses.
The story picks up from the cliffhanger of season 2, where Kitty seemed ready to tour with Min Ho and his family. Additionally, the season will have a significant focus on family relationships, including some Korean cultural aspects like Chuseok.
There was at least one reported exit; however, the majority of the KISS cast remains for the final chapter of the series, taking place during their last year of high school.
KISS continues to offer a lighthearted romantic comedy spin-off based on Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before universe, telling stories of Kitty’s misadventures with matchmaking, friendship, self-discovery, and multicultural experiences in Seoul.
