The ultimate matchmaker is returning to the Seoul spotlight for a senior year that promises more tangled hearts than a K-drama finale. The upcoming XO, Kitty season 3 will reveal how Kitty Song Covey navigates a complex love square while uncovering the long-hidden secrets of her family heritage.

The official confirmation of the return date has sparked a wave of anticipation across the globe.

According to Netflix Tudum, Netflix has officially confirmed that the third installment of this romantic saga will premiere sometime in 2026. This announcement follows the massive success of the previous season, which debuted at the second spot on the English TV list.

Jessica O'Toole, in an interview with Deadline, promised that the upcoming season would justify the suspense with the show's first summer episode and a heavy dose of adventure.

“We left fans on a cliff-hanger, but Season 3 will be worth the wait,” Jessica O’Toole teased.

According to Netflix Tudum, the decision to continue the story was bolstered by the show reaching the top ten lists in eighty-nine different countries in its first week. Fans are eager to see the conclusion of the cliffhangers that left the future of the KISS lovebirds in question.

As the production ends and release date draws closer, the narrative stakes reach a fever pitch as international borders and deep emotions collide in Seoul.

According to the same Netflix Tudum report, XO, Kitty season 3 follows Kitty as she returns to the Korean Independent Seoul School for her senior year of high school. After successfully securing her scholarship and reuniting a fractured family, she must now confront the romantic chaos she left behind during the summer.

The plot focuses on her developing feelings for Min Ho, which complicates her existing dynamics with her former circle of friends. Viewers can expect a dive into the tropes of the romantic comedy genre as enemies transition into potential life partners. As Kitty fulfills the legacy of her late mother, she learns that finding love for herself is far more difficult than fixing the lives of others.

The vibrant energy of the series is sustained by a mix of beloved veterans and fresh faces.

Anna Cathcart returns to lead the production alongside fan favorites Minyeong Choi, Gia Kim, and the charismatic Sang Heon Lee. The core squad is further strengthened by the presence of Anthony Keyvan, Regan Aliyah, and Peter Thurnwald.

This season also sees Hojo Shin elevated to a series regular, ensuring that the character of Jiwon remains central to the upcoming social drama. The production introduces exciting new energy with the addition of Sule Thelwell, Soy Kim, and Christine Hwang to the roster.

These newcomers join a massive supporting cast that includes seasoned performers like Michael K. Lee and Jocelyn Shelfo. This diverse group of actors create a rich multicultural atmosphere that has become the hallmark of this successful Netflix spin-off franchise.
