Netflix’s delightful romantic dramedy series XO, Kitty returned for a second season in early 2025, but will the To All the Boys spinoff get renewed for season 3? Centered on the title character who originally appeared in the aforementioned movies, the show follows Kitty (Anna Cathcart) as she travels to Korea to attend the prestigious boarding school where her mother was once a student. Though she originally travels all the way across the globe to be with her long-distance boyfriend, Kitty can’t help but play matchmaker for her fellow students while also trying to figure out her own path.

A critical darling from day one, XO, Kitty is just the sort of low-stakes romantic entertainment that helped make Netflix the premiere destination for the genre. XO, Kitty season 2 catches up with the love-struck teen as she tries to sort out her complicated feelings for Yuri in the wake of Min Ho’s declaration of love at the end of season 1. Season 2 proves that, though Kitty has great matchmaking advice for others, she is still woefully unprepared to sort out her own love-life. This leads to an engaging sophomore outing that promises an even better season 3.

XO, Kitty Season 3 Is Not Confirmed

No Word On Season 3 Yet

Despite being a spinoff of one of Netflix’s most popular movie series, and being tremendously successful in its own right, XO, Kitty has not been renewed for season 3 yet. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise considering the newness of season 2, and it probably won’t take too long for Netflix to make their final decision regarding Kitty’s future on the platform. Season 2 was ordered a mere month or so after season 1 premiered, and there was very little doubt about a sophomore outing after the success of the debut.

It remains to be seen if the show’s fans will come back after such a long wait.

With anticipation high for season 2, it should garner an equally large audience. However, it’s uncertain if the longer-than-expected wait for season 2 will impact viewership. Netflix (and other streamers too) is notorious for years-long waits between seasons of their most in-demand shows, and it’s not really clear if that’s had an impact on fan retention. Shows like XO, Kitty are beloved not only because of their cutesy atmosphere and low-stakes drama, but also because they represent the easy viewing of classic TV. It remains to be seen if the show’s fans will come back after such a long wait.

XO, Kitty Season 2 Cast Details

Who Returns To KISS For Another Semester?

Because nothing particularly shocking happens in a romantic dramedy like XO, Kitty, it’s possible that the entire cast of season 2 could reprise their roles in season 3 as well. Because she’s the show’s namesake, it’s all but certain that Anna Cathcart will be back to reprise her role as the love-struck matchmaker herself, Kitty Song-Covey. Meanwhile, with a potential love triangle brewing, Gia Kim will likely return as Yuri Han, while Sang Heon Lee will again play Min Ho Kang. After her plan was foiled in season 2, it’s unclear if newcomer Audrey Huynh will be back to play the scheming Stella.

The show features a rich ensemble of supporting characters and season 3 will likely see the return of Minyeong Choi as Dae Heon Kim, Kitty’s ex-boyfriend who is now her close friend. Anthony Keyvan has played Kitty’s American classmate Quincy “Q” Shabazian for two seasons thus far, and she’ll need her confidant by her side in season 3 too. Regan Aliyah plays Yuri’s (now-ex) girlfriend Juliana, and she’ll likely factor into season 3 as well. Though they ended up only as a fling, Sasha Bhasin’s Praveena will likely wind up back in Kitty’s friend group going forward.

The prospective cast of XO, Kitty season 3 includes:

XO, Kitty Season 3 Story Details

One Chapter Ends, Another Begins In Season 3

Kitty was very busy during the events of XO, Kitty season 2, and her romantic interest sort of took a back seat to her Quixotic quest to reunite her family. Through determination and pluck, Kitty was able to bring her Korean family together during the ending of XO, Kitty season 2, something that her mother traveled all the way to Korea to do many years before. This sense of accomplishment should help Kitty feel more confident going forward, especially as she enters uncertain times romantically.

Kitty is set to join Min Ho’s family for their summer tour, meaning sparks are almost guaranteed to fly between them.

As she was dealing with familial strife, Kitty was also caught in an awkward spot as she pined away for Yuri while also realizing that she sees Min Ho as more than just a friend. XO, Kitty season 3 may see her explore her options, which could lead to some hurt feelings in the long run. If she does end up choosing one or the other, she risks alienating someone she considers a close friend. Regardless, Kitty is set to join Min Ho’s family for their summer tour, meaning sparks are almost guaranteed to fly between them.
