December 27, 2025 – Netflix’s hit teen rom-com spin-off XO, Kitty is officially coming back for a third season, with production already in the rearview mirror. The streamer renewed the show earlier this year, and filming wrapped up over the summer in Seoul, South Korea. But as the calendar flips toward 2026, fans are growing restless for concrete details – especially an official trailer – while viral clips claiming to be the “official” Season 3 preview continue to circulate online.

The series, a spin-off from the wildly popular To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film trilogy based on Jenny Han’s novels, follows Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she navigates romance, friendship, and self-discovery at the elite Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Season 2, which dropped in January 2025, ended on a major cliffhanger: Kitty impulsively deciding to join her longtime crush Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) on a summer tour with his family, just as tensions with ex-girlfriend Yuri (Gia Kim) lingered in the air.

Netflix wasted no time greenlighting Season 3. On Valentine’s Day 2025, the streamer announced the renewal with a cheeky social media post: “Roses are red. Violets are blue. There’s a third season of XO, Kitty in store for you!” Showrunner Jessica O’Toole teased big things ahead, telling Netflix’s Tudum, “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.”

That summer episode promise has fans particularly excited. Seasons 1 and 2 focused on the school year, but Season 3 will kick off during break, exploring what happens when Kitty potentially hits the road with Min Ho and his wealthy, complicated family. O’Toole hinted that the slower-burn romance between Kitty and Min Ho would continue to simmer, while other characters deal with their own off-season drama.

Production moved quickly after the renewal. Filming began in spring 2025 and officially wrapped in July, as confirmed by Netflix with behind-the-scenes footage shared on Tudum. Lead star Anna Cathcart posted celebratory photos on Instagram, showing off custom XO, Kitty pajama pants and captioning one, “And that’s a wrap💌💌 my heart is so full.” The cast reunited in Seoul, with location shoots capturing the vibrant city backdrop that has become a hallmark of the show.

Along with the wrap announcement came news of fresh faces joining the ensemble. Three new recurring characters were introduced: Sule Thelwell (Saint X) as Marius, Soy Kim (Like a French Film) as Yisoo, and Christine Hwang (Law & Order: SVU) as Gigi. While plot details remain under wraps, sources suggest these additions will stir up new romantic entanglements and rivalries, especially during the summer storyline. Returning cast includes Choi Min-young as Dae, Gia Kim as Yuri, Anthony Keyvan as Q, Jocelyn Shelfo as Madison, and Sang Heon Lee as the fan-favorite Min Ho.

Behind the camera, there’s been a shift too. Valentina Garza steps up as the new showrunner for Season 3, taking over primary duties while O’Toole remains involved as an executive producer. Jenny Han continues her oversight as creator and EP, ensuring the show stays true to its heartfelt, K-drama-inspired roots.

Season 2’s strong performance paved the way for the quick pickup. It debuted at No. 2 on Netflix’s English TV list, racking up 14.2 million views in its opening weekend and pushing Season 1 back into the Top 10. Globally, it landed in the Top 10 in over 90 countries, proving the show’s appeal to teen audiences hungry for messy love triangles, queer representation, and feel-good chaos.

As for a release date, Netflix hasn’t locked one in yet, but industry insiders point to early 2026 – likely January or February, mirroring Season 2’s winter drop. The shorter gap between seasons (compared to the nearly two-year wait from Season 1 to 2) reflects Netflix’s confidence in the property and desire to keep momentum going before the young cast ages out of their high school roles.

That brings us to the trailer buzz. In recent weeks, fan accounts and viral posts have shared clips titled things like “XO, Kitty Season 3 | Official Trailer (2026) | Summer Doesn’t Wait | Netflix.” These videos, often uploaded to YouTube or TikTok, rack up millions of views with dramatic edits, repurposed footage from previous seasons, and new fan-made scenes. The tagline “Summer Doesn’t Wait” plays into the confirmed summer episode tease, fueling speculation.

However, Netflix has not released any official trailer as of late December 2025. A spokesperson for the streamer declined to comment on the circulating videos but emphasized that promotional materials, including the first-look trailer, would come directly from official channels closer to the premiere. In the past, Netflix has dropped trailers for similar YA shows about a month before launch.

Fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer. With post-production underway since the July wrap, marketing typically ramps up in the final months. Some leaked episode titles have surfaced online – including rumored ones like “Seoul Sisters” (sparking hopes for a Lana Condor cameo as Lara Jean) and others hinting at themes of loyalty and missed connections – but Netflix has neither confirmed nor denied them.

The To All the Boys universe has a history of surprise guest appearances. Season 2 brought back Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky and Janel Parrish as Margot, delighting longtime fans. A full Song Covey family reunion remains a hot topic in fan forums.

Critics and viewers alike praise XO, Kitty for its breezy mix of romance and coming-of-age growth. Kitty’s exploration of her sexuality in Season 2 resonated widely, and the show’s diverse cast and Seoul setting add a fresh layer to the familiar teen-drama formula. Season 3 looks poised to raise the stakes, moving beyond school hallways into summer adventures, family pressures, and tougher emotional choices.

Whether Kitty finally locks down her endgame – many fans are rooting hard for Min Ho after years of will-they-won’t-they tension – or throws another curveball remains to be seen. One thing’s certain: the drama isn’t slowing down.

For now, fans can rewatch Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix while keeping an eye on official channels for that real trailer drop. When it hits, expect the internet to explode all over again.
