5 Shocking Revelations About XO, Kitty Season 3: Release Date, New Love Triangle, And Filming Secrets
The wait is almost over. As of December 18, 2025, the biggest question on every K-drama and *To All the Boys I've Loved Before* fan's mind is when Kitty Song Covey will return to our screens for another chaotic, romantic adventure at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). We have scoured the latest production updates to confirm that *XO, Kitty* Season 3 is officially happening, and while Netflix has not yet dropped an exact date, the timeline is now clearer than ever before.
The highly anticipated third season, which was officially confirmed on Valentine's Day 2025, is currently deep in post-production, having wrapped filming earlier this year. Based on the production schedule, fans can expect the new season to arrive much sooner than you might think, promising to resolve the massive cliffhangers left by Season 2.
Who is Kitty Song Covey? A Quick Profile of Star Anna Cathcart
The heart and soul of the *XO, Kitty* universe is Anna Cathcart, who brings the titular character to life with infectious energy and charm. Before becoming the world's favorite matchmaker, Cathcart had already built an impressive career, most notably within the Disney and Netflix families.
- Full Name: Anna Cathcart
- Date of Birth: June 16, 2003 (Currently 22 years old as of December 2025)
- Place of Birth: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
- Role in *XO, Kitty*: Kitty Song Covey, the younger sister of Lara Jean Covey and a self-proclaimed expert matchmaker who moves to Seoul to connect with her late mother's past and her long-distance boyfriend, Dae.
- Breakthrough Role: Agent Olympia in the Emmy-winning PBS Kids series *Odd Squad* (2016).
- Other Notable Roles: Dizzy Tremaine in the Disney Channel's *Descendants* franchise and, most famously, Kitty Song Covey in the *To All the Boys I've Loved Before* film trilogy (2018–2021).
- Education: Anna Cathcart has balanced her acting career with her studies, often discussing her college career while starring in the series.
Cathcart is confirmed to reprise her central role, ensuring the continuation of Kitty's journey of self-discovery, romance, and navigating the complexities of high school life in South Korea.
The Official Release Date Prediction: Early 2026 Window
While Netflix loves to keep fans guessing, the production timeline for *XO, Kitty* Season 3 gives us a very strong indication of when the new episodes will drop. This information is the freshest update available and provides a concrete expectation for fans.
The Critical Production Timeline
The key to predicting the release date lies in the production schedule. *XO, Kitty* Season 3 was officially renewed in February 2025. Filming, which primarily takes place in Seoul, South Korea, reportedly began in the spring of 2025 (around April/May) and officially wrapped up in July 2025. This means the series is now firmly in the post-production phase, which includes editing, sound design, music scoring, and final approvals.
The Expected Premiere Month
Based on Netflix's typical 6-to-9-month post-production cycle for a high-profile YA dramedy like this, the most likely release window is Early 2026.
- Predicted Release Date: March 2026 is the most widely speculated and likely "sweet spot" for the Season 3 premiere.
- Why Early 2026? Netflix often uses the beginning of the year to launch major returning series. A March 2026 release would allow for a full promotional cycle starting in late 2025, capitalizing on the anticipation built since the Season 2 premiere in January 2025.
New Characters, Returning Cast, and Plot Speculation
The latest news confirms that all the major players in Kitty's love quadrangle will be returning, and the drama is about to get even more complicated with the introduction of new faces.
The Returning Fan-Favorites
The core ensemble cast is confirmed to be back for Season 3, setting the stage for the continuation of their intertwined storylines.
- Anna Cathcart as Kitty Song Covey
- Minyeong Choi as Dae Heon (Kitty's original long-distance boyfriend)
- Sang Heon Lee as Min Ho (The charismatic, wealthy frenemy who confessed his feelings for Kitty)
- Gia Kim as Yuri Han (The heiress and former KISS student who is also Kitty's friend and ex-girlfriend of Dae)
- Anthony Keyvan as Q (Kitty's best friend and confidante)
- Jocelyn Shelfo as Madison Miller (Q's girlfriend)
- Regan Aliyah as Juliana (Yuri's girlfriend)
Three New Faces to Shake Up KISS
To inject fresh drama and new romantic possibilities, three new actors have joined the ensemble cast for Season 3. The most notable new addition is:
- Sule Thelwell as Marius: While full details are under wraps, Marius is a strong new entity in the series. Given the show's focus on relationships, this character is highly likely to become a new romantic interest or a significant rival for one of the main characters, further complicating the already messy love lines.
Key Episode Titles Hint at Major Plot Shifts
A few tantalizing episode titles for Season 3 have been revealed, offering cryptic clues about Kitty's next chapter and the central conflicts. These titles suggest a deep dive into the characters' emotional lives and potential new pairings:
- "Before Sunrise"
- "Ships in the Night"
- "Euniq"
- "Seoul Sisters"
- "Ride or Die"
The title "Ships in the Night" immediately suggests missed connections and fleeting romances, potentially hinting at Kitty and Dae's continued struggles or the difficulty of maintaining the Yuri/Juliana relationship. Meanwhile, "Ride or Die" implies a deepening bond of loyalty, possibly between Kitty and Min Ho, or even Kitty and Q. Speculation is high that the "Min-ho romance is on fire" plotline will dominate the season, with Kitty having to finally choose between the comfort of Dae and the unexpected passion with Min Ho.
The Central Conflict: Kitty's Choice and Her Future
Season 3 will pick up directly after the massive cliffhangers that left Kitty's relationships—and her future at KISS—up in the air. The main emotional driver for the next season will be Kitty's final decision regarding the two men in her life, Dae and Min Ho, while also exploring her own identity and career path.
The Min Ho vs. Dae Showdown
The love triangle has officially become a love quadrangle, but the core romantic tension remains between Kitty, Dae, and Min Ho. Min Ho's unexpected confession of love to Kitty at the end of Season 2 changed everything. Season 3 will force Kitty to confront her true feelings, especially since her relationship with Dae is now strained and complicated by her growing bond with Min Ho. Fans are eagerly anticipating the resolution of this classic romantic comedy trope: the familiar comfort (Dae) versus the exciting, unexpected new chemistry (Min Ho).
Yuri, Juliana, and Q's Journey
Beyond Kitty, the other central characters will also face major challenges. Yuri and Juliana's relationship, which was a highlight of Season 2, will be tested. Q's role as the emotional anchor for Kitty will continue, likely giving him a front-row seat to the drama. The show's commitment to exploring diverse relationships, including the journey of Yuri and Juliana, adds significant depth and topical authority to the narrative.
The Future of KISS and Kitty's Home
Kitty's entire reason for being in Seoul was to attend KISS and feel closer to her mother. Season 3 will likely explore whether her personal drama has jeopardized her place at the school and whether she truly belongs in South Korea. The concept of "Seoul Sisters," one of the revealed episode titles, suggests a focus on the strong female friendships, perhaps between Kitty, Yuri, and Q's girlfriend, Madison, solidifying her place in her new home.
In summary, while the official release date for *XO, Kitty* Season 3 has not been announced by Netflix, all signs point to a spectacular return in March 2026. With filming complete, new characters joining the mix, and the love triangle reaching a fever pitch, Kitty Song Covey's next chapter promises to be her most dramatic and romantic yet.
