When Will XO, Kitty Season 3 Premiere on Netflix?
The biggest question on every fan’s mind—the official XO, Kitty Season 3 release date—is still awaiting a formal announcement from Netflix. However, the production timeline provides a very strong indication of when we can expect the new episodes to drop.
Season 2 premiered in January 2025, and the gap between seasons is expected to be similar, if not slightly shorter, due to the show’s popularity and quick renewal. Crucially, the production for XO, Kitty Season 3 officially wrapped in Seoul in mid-July 2025.
Given the typical post-production schedule for a major Netflix series, which involves editing, sound mixing, and marketing, a release date in the first quarter of 2026 is highly likely. Industry speculation points to a premiere sometime in March 2026. This timing would perfectly align the show’s return with the beginning of a new school term at KISS, following the dramatic cliffhangers of the previous season.
Fans should keep a close watch on Netflix's social media channels for the official trailer and premiere date announcement, which is expected to arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
The Love Quadrangle: Plot Predictions and Central Conflicts
The central premise of XO, Kitty has always been about Kitty Song Covey’s journey of self-discovery and her complicated romantic life, moving beyond the shadow of her older sister, Lara Jean Covey. Season 3 is set to explode the romantic dynamics established in the first two seasons, focusing heavily on the unexpected feelings that developed between Kitty and Min Ho, as well as the renewed dynamic with Dae and Yuri.
The Kitty-Minho-Dae Triangle
The biggest twist that Season 2 delivered was the undeniable romantic tension between Kitty and Min Ho. Min Ho, initially the arrogant and wealthy rival, morphed into a genuine love interest, confessing his feelings for Kitty. This forces Kitty to confront the stability of her long-distance relationship with Dae. Season 3 will likely center on Kitty navigating these two relationships. Will she choose the familiar comfort and history with Dae, or the passionate, unexpected spark she found with Min Ho? Many fans are predicting a "Mooncovey" endgame (Min Ho and Kitty), mirroring the classic romantic trope that creator Jenny Han is known for.
Yuri and Juliana’s Relationship
Another major plot thread is the relationship between Yuri Han and Juliana. After their initial separation, the two rekindled their romance, adding another layer of complexity to Kitty's life, especially since Yuri was her first crush and a source of significant tension. Season 3 is expected to delve deeper into Yuri’s personal growth, her relationship with her mother, and the stability of her bond with Juliana. Some fan theories suggest that the Kitty/Yuri tension might become the central relationship dynamic, exploring Kitty's bisexuality further.
New Faces and School Drama at KISS
The addition of new cast members—Marius, Gigi, and Yisoo—suggests fresh romantic entanglements and social drama at the Korean Independent School of Seoul. Marius, potentially linked to Q, could introduce a new arc for Kitty’s best friend, Q, who has been a steady, grounding force in the series. The academic pressure, cultural immersion challenges in Seoul, and the high-stakes environment of KISS will continue to provide a backdrop for the characters' personal and romantic development.
What Anna Cathcart Hopes to See in Season 3
Star Anna Cathcart, who plays the titular character, has been vocal about her excitement for the confirmed third season and even shared a personal hope for the show’s future. In a recent interview, Cathcart mentioned her desire for a musical episode. While a full-blown musical might be a stretch, this suggests the show could incorporate more fun, high-energy sequences, perhaps involving a school performance or a K-Pop-inspired dance number, capitalizing on the show's Korean setting.
Cathcart also acknowledged the complexity of the love triangle, noting that Kitty is at a pivotal point in her life, thinking about three people (Dae, Minho, and Yuri) at the end of Season 2. The actress is focused on ensuring Kitty’s journey is authentic and that she continues to grow beyond her romantic pursuits, embracing her role as the confident, match-making sister.
Why XO, Kitty Season 3 Is a Must-Watch
The renewal for a third season solidifies XO, Kitty's success as a standalone entity within the broader *To All the Boys I've Loved Before* universe. It has successfully captured the attention of a new generation of viewers with its blend of international romance, K-Drama flair, and honest exploration of identity and sexuality. With production wrapped and a likely March 2026 release, Season 3 is poised to deliver the answers fans have been craving, finally resolving the epic love story that began with a letter and a move halfway across the world to Seoul. Prepare for more drama, more fashion, and more complicated relationships at KISS.
