Netflix has officially renewed its popular YA series XO, Kitty for a third season. The streaming platform announced the news on its official X account on Friday, much to the excitement of fans. Season 2 of the series premiered on January 16.
Series showrunner, executive producer, and writer Jessica O’Toole shared her enthusiasm about the renewal, stating, “I’m so excited to head back to Seoul for another season with our incredible cast and crew. If you thought junior year at KISS brought the drama… just wait. 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.”
Anna Cathcart returns as Kitty Song Covey, leading a cast that includes Minyeong Choi, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Anthony Keyvan, Regan Aliyah, Audrey Huynh, and Peter Thurnwald. Additional cast members include Sasha Bhasin, Joshua Lee, Jocelyn Shelfo, Michael K. Lee, and Philippe Lee.
XO, Kitty serves as a spinoff to the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Netflix film franchise. While details about the upcoming season’s plot and release date remain under wraps, the official description for Season 2 hints at Kitty’s evolving journey. “Teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey is back in Seoul for a new semester at KISS. She’s single for the first time in a long time and ready for a fresh start: no more meddling, no more drama. Maybe just some casual dating. Emphasis on casual. But she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother’s past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change. As secrets unravel and bonds are tested, Kitty will learn that life, family, and love are more complicated than she ever imagined.”
The series was created by Jenny Han, whose novels inspired the To All the Boys films. Han also serves as an executive producer alongside O’Toole and Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment. The show is produced by Awesomeness Studios.
