Who is the creative team behind XO, Kitty Season 3?
As most XO, Kitty fans know, the series is a spin-off inspired by the popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film franchise, which was based on creator and executive producer Jenny Han’s novels of the same name. For Season 3, Valentina Garza will serve as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. Executive producers also include Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment and Bradley Gardner.

Lana Condor Enrolls in XO, Kitty Season 3

The To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before star is reuniting with onscreen sister Anna Cathcart in the series.
It’s a family reunion on XO, Kitty Season 3, out April 2: Lana Condor, who played lovelorn high schooler Lara Jean Covey in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movies, is headed to the spin-off series starring Anna Cathcart as LJ’s matchmaking younger sister, Kitty Song Covey.
“It’s such a joy to be able to come back and see Anna,” Condor tells Netflix of her return to the franchise. “I think she did an amazing job creating the XO, Kitty world. It’s such a dream to be able to work with her again. I feel really excited and happy and honored I get to be back.”
In addition to the new photos of LJ’s return to Korea, you can watch the Covey sisters in action in the trailer for Season 3, below. It’s senior year at KISS, and Kitty wants to make the most of it. But when things get difficult and confusing, Kitty calls up her sibling for some sisterly advice. “We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure,” LJ tells her.
Season 3 of XO, Kitty sees Kitty Song Covey return for her senior year at KISS with the perfect year mapped out: She’s going to make meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And she’s going to define her relationship with Min Ho. For real this time. But when surprise revelations throw her plans — and relationships — off course, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.
Two women sitting outdoors on blue director’s chairs labeled for the cast of XO, Kitty Season 3, with greenery, brick wall, and a large window in the background, both looking back over their shoulders at the camera.
Previous seasons of the series have featured other To All the Boys stars, including Noah Centineo as LJ’s devoted boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky, and Janel Parrish as oldest Covey sister Margot in Season 2; and John Corbett and Sarayu Blue as Kitty’s dad and stepmother in Season 1. Condor will appear in multiple episodes.
XO, Kitty Season 3 premieres April 2 on Netflix.

XO, Kitty Season 3 Trailer: Check Off Kitty’s Senior Sunset List
Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) has her whole senior year at KISS mapped out in the trailer for XO, Kitty Season 3.
Coming April 2, the season follows Kitty as she endeavors to check everything off her Senior Sunset list with the help of her pals Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), Dae (Minyeong Choi), Yuri (Gia Kim), and Q (Anthony Keyvan), of course.
She needs to figure out where she wants to apply to college, have a traditional Chuseok meal with her Korean family, and, most pressingly, define the simmering feelings she and Min Ho have been harboring for years.
Like any little sister would in a time of crisis, Kitty calls her big sis Lara Jean (Lana Condor), who we all remember fondly as the star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. “Whatever happens with Min Ho, we can’t just stop living our lives,” LJ reminds her baby sis in the trailer. “We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure.”
Keep up with all the adventures in the new season of XO, Kitty, premiering April 2 on Netflix.

XO, Kitty Season 3: Set Sail Early with the First 2 Minutes of the Premiere
You don’t have to “wait!” any longer to see what’s next for Kitty and Min Ho.
Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) end XO, Kitty Season 2 on the precipice of adventure. After a season of grand gestures and loaded glances, Kitty decides it might just be time for her and her enemy-turned-friend-turned-crush to finally be together. “Wait! Can I join you?” she asks, eliciting a mysterious head nod from Min Ho.
Is he inviting her along on his family’s upcoming pop-star world tour? Is that the latest dance move taking over KISS? Or does Min Ho simply need to stretch his neck?
Well, the answer is finally here, ahead of the XO, Kitty Season 3 premiere on April 2. The first two minutes of the upcoming episode — which you can watch above — reveal the immediate aftermath of Kitty’s question. Series showrunner Valentina Garza knows you’ve been waiting to find out what’s next for your favorite will they, won’t they duo at the Korean Independent School of Seoul.
“We thought it was important to come back and hear what Min Ho has to say and let that lead us into this next adventure in Season 3,” Garza tells Tudum. “This season is very much about Kitty learning that life rarely goes as planned — that sometimes you just have to let go of expectations and let life surprise you.”
The clip reveals that Kitty and Min Ho’s conversation will serve up one such curveball at the very beginning of Season 3. As the pair walks through campus, reformed playboy Min Ho asks Kitty if she really wants to go on tour with him. Feeling put on the spot, she laughs at such a suggestion, despite her true feelings. But fate intends to keep these two together, as Eunice (Han Bi Ryu) arrives just in time to invite Kitty to the first stop on the tour: Busan.
And just like that, Kitty is preparing to “set sail” on her first (hopefully!) romantic trip with Min Ho — she just needs a few minutes to pack her bags. Garza wants viewers to prepare for the “extraordinary set piece” that is XO, Kitty’s yacht getaway to Busan. “It’s such a glamorous, exciting launch to this season,” the showrunner says. “So we’re just so excited to be able to bring our fans along on this journey in Korea and live that kind of K-drama fantasy while we’re exploring these really grounded character stories as well.”
However, the excitement doesn’t stop in Busan. XO, Kitty Season 3 follows its titular teen matchmaker as she returns for her final year at KISS with her perfect senior year mapped out. She’s going to create meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And Kitty plans to define her relationship with Min Ho — for real this time. But as the trailer reveals, “mixed signals,” judgmental dads, and annoying phone calls might interfere with her “Senior Sunset” plans. Along the way, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.
So, will Kitty and Min Ho ever share their first kiss? Or will they just head back to KISS for senior year? Tune into XO, Kitty Season 3 on April 2 to find out — and keep an eye out for one very familiar face.
The new season of the spinoff series, inspired by the popular To All the Boys I've Loved Before film franchise, features eight brand new episodes.

Season 2 ended with Kitty getting her scholarship renewed so she can come back to KISS for senior year. She also fulfilled her late mother’s wishes by reuniting her fractured family, discovering relatives she never even knew existed.

Start the countdown, because XO, Kitty is returning to steal hearts in the new year. Season 2 of the To All the Boysspin-off — starring Anna Cathcart as teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey — will premiere on Jan. 16, 2025, and you can watch the cast announce the news in the video below.
XO, Kitty Season 1, which follows Kitty as she finds her own love story at boarding school, accumulated not only 72.1 million hours of viewing within its first week but also appeared in the Top 10 list for 90 countries.
Filming of XO, Kitty Season 2 took place in Seoul, South Korea in early 2024, following the success of the first season. The new episodes will follow Kitty as she returns to high school for a new semester at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS).
While many details about XO, Kitty Season 2 are kept under lock and key like a (KISS) secret, read on to find out who’s joining the cast, see new photos, and learn what obstacles Kitty will face in the new episodes, out Jan. 16.
Who’s starring in XO, Kitty Season 2?
Kitty’s social circle is expanding, with three new characters joining the show this season: Audrey Huynh (ANZBBGRL, Wyrm) as Stella, Sasha Bhasin (Brave the Dark) as Praveena, and Joshua Lee (Gangnam Project) as Jin.
L-R: Audrey Huynh, Sasha Bhasin, and Joshua Lee
This trio joins the returning cast from Season 1, including Minyeong Choi (Dae), Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Anthony Keyvan (Q), Peter Thurnwald (Alex), and Regan Aliyah (Juliana).
What happened in XO, Kitty Season 1?
Although Kitty arrived in Seoul convinced that long-distance boyfriend Dae (Choi) was her forever-partner, her experiences at KISS changed everything. Over Season 1, Kitty realized love can flourish in countless disparate ways — and “things are not always so simple,” Cathcart told Tudum in 2023.
Clearly, Kitty’s first kiss was only the beginning. “By the end she’s like, ‘I literally have no idea about anything. I am figuring it out. There are so many new people now that are a possibility,’ ” Cathcart said. “To see her world expand is a huge, huge difference and will be a really fun thing to follow.”
Co-showrunner Jenny Han was excited to see Kitty break away from the One True Pairing romance trope and take a more untraditional route. “I write so many romantic stories about young people. Everyone wants the ‘happily ever after’ and to feel like two people are together forever — but they are really young,” Han told Tudum in March 2023. “What was exciting about Kitty’s story [is] that it shows you can really explore different people for different times of your life.”
Yet, that doesn’t mean first loves like Dae “aren’t significant or that love wasn’t important to you,” Han continued. “It means that at that moment in your life, they were that love. And then maybe it enables you to keep going.”
What will happen in XO, Kitty Season 2?
When Kitty heads back to KISS for her second semester, 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.
Follow Kitty to wherever (and whomever) her journey takes her when XO, Kitty Season 2 premieres Jan. 16. Until then, keep coming back to Tudum for all your news on the most successful matchmaker of the To All the Boys universe.
