The highly anticipated third season of XO, Kitty has officially wrapped filming in Seoul, South Korea. The announcement has generated significant buzz among fans eager to see the next chapter in Kitty Song Covey's adventures at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Netflix confirmed the renewal of the series for a third season on Valentine's Day 2025, much to the delight of viewers worldwide.
Filming for Season 3 commenced in May 2025, a slight shift from the initially planned April start date. According to reports, the production team required additional time, extending the shoot until mid-July. Michael Medico, a director on the show, shared the news of the wrap on social media, expressing his affection for Seoul and the cast and crew.
While an exact release date remains under wraps, current predictions point towards an early 2026 premiere on Netflix. Some reports suggest a potential release in February 2026, aligning with the timeline of previous seasons. Given the post-production timeline observed in previous seasons, early 2026 seems a likely window.
Fans can anticipate new faces joining the cast, though details about these characters are being kept secret. The new season will see Kitty entering her third semester at KISS, with storylines diving deeper into her experiences and relationships. Showrunner Jessica O'Toole has teased plenty of romance, friendship, adventure, and kissing in the upcoming season. The third season will also feature the show's first summer episode.
Season 2 concluded with Kitty on the cusp of admitting her feelings for Min Ho. The finale saw Kitty asking to join Min Ho on his summer tour with his father and brother, the pop star Joon Ho. Season 3 might follow Kitty and Min Ho's journey on tour, potentially featuring more K-pop cameos. The new season may also explore the dynamic between Dae and Yuri.
XO, Kitty has garnered significant success since its debut in May 2023. The series quickly climbed to the No. 2 spot on Netflix's English TV List following the release of Season 2 in January 2025, accumulating 14.2 million views. The show is a spin-off from the To All The Boys I've Loved Before film series, based on Jenny Han's novels. The series follows Kitty Song Covey as she navigates her relationships and explores her mother's past while attending KISS in Seoul.
