Spoilers for the XO, Kitty season 2 finale ahead. Netflix's teen rom-com series XO, Kitty has finally returned for another semester, and despite Kitty Song Covey's hopes, she's still the "chaos queen" of KISS. The To All the Boys... spinoff set in Seoul, South Korea, centers on the youngest Song Covey sister (played by Anna Cathcart) in her journey to learn more about her late mother's past and find true love along the way.
Season 2 sees Kitty deal with multiple love interests (both male and female), a search for estranged relatives, an intricate revenge plot, and even a K-pop showcase. By the end, Kitty has reunited her family, learned more about her sexuality, and secured another yearlong scholarship to return to KISS. So, will we get to see the resolution of that new Kitty and Min Ho cliffhanger? Below, read what we know about a possible XO, Kitty season 3 so far.
Has 'XO, Kitty' been renewed for season 3?
Time to buy a ticket to Seoul! Netflix has confirmed that XO, Kitty will return for a third season. The streamer dropped the good news on Valentine's Day 2025, less than a month after season 2's release on January 16.
Netflix shared a video on Instagram to coincide with the announcement. In the clip, Cathcart receives the script for the first episode of season 3 and reads the love poem, Roses are red/violets are blue/there’s a third season of XO, Kitty/in store for you!"
“I’m so excited to head back to Seoul for another season with our incredible cast and crew," showrunner Jessica O’Toole told Tudum. "I know we left fans on a cliffhanger at the end of season 2, but I can promise season 3 will be worth the wait, including our first summer episode—not to mention plenty of romance, friendship, adventure...and kissing. Lots of kissing."
When could 'XO, Kitty' season 3 come out?
Don't worry XO, Kitty fans—there will likely be a shorter wait for season 3. A quick refresher: Season 2's renewal news came amid the 2023 Hollywood strikes, so the show's writers couldn't begin working on season 3 until the WGA strike ended that September. The season was later filmed from April to June 2024, before releasing in early 2025.
With the writers's room for season 3 already underway, fingers crossed that XO, Kitty season 3 will return in the first half of 2026.

Who in the 'XO, Kitty' cast will return for season 3?
It's highly likely that most of XO, Kitty's cast will return, including Anna Cathcart (Kitty), Minyeong Choi (Dae), Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Regan Aliyah (Juliana), Peter Thurnwald (Alex), Jocelyn Shelfo (Madison), and Michael K. Lee (Professor Lee). Hopefully, season 2 newcomers Sasha Bhasin (Praveena) and Joshua Lee (Jin) will also come back for more episodes.
Based on how season 2 ends, it's currently unclear whether Audrey Huynh will return as villain Stella (a.k.a. Esther). It's also unclear whether the show would bring back Min Ho's father and brother (played by Philippe Lee and real-life K-pop star Peniel, respectively).

And of course, we have our fingers crossed that more alums from To All the Boys...' cast will appear for cameos after Noah Centineo (Peter Kavinsky) and Janel Parrish (Margot Song Covey) popped up in season 2. Here's hoping for a Lara Jean (Lana Condor) appearance in season 3!
What will happen on 'XO, Kitty' season 3?
XO, Kitty's season 2 finale somehow ends on a cliffhanger bigger than Min Ho's airplane love confession. No, Min Ho and Kitty technically don't end up together by the end of season 2, as Kitty chickens out on sharing her feelings. But she does ask if she can go on tour with him and his brother Joon Ho for the summer and he says yes!
Netflix's season 3 announcement confirms that the new episodes will at least partially follow "summer of love for Kitty Song Covey and her friends." We'll have to see whether Kitty and Min Ho on tour will bring a long-awaited romance or just more K-pop cameos. (Min Ho does probably have some healing to do after getting scammed by Stella.)
But wait, what about Kitty and Yuri? Though Kitty started season 2 with her heart set on the heiress, the pair ended the installment as just friends. Yuri was put through the wringer a bit, ending the season with Juliana moving on to Praveena and her family becoming broke amidst a class-action lawsuit, of which Dae's dad is a part. Yuri will probably have her hands full in season 3, but there's always a chance that she and Kitty could still end up together.
