Introduction: The Final Chapter Begins
Get ready to return to the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS) one last time. Netflix has officially released the trailer for XO, Kitty Season 3, and it promises an emotional, romantic, and adventure-filled farewell to Kitty Song Covey’s high school journey.
Titled around Kitty’s “Senior Sunset List,” the upcoming season follows our favorite matchmaker as she navigates her final year at KISS, makes life-altering decisions about college, and finally confronts the simmering tension with Min Ho that fans have been rooting for since Day 1.
Mark your calendars: All episodes of XO, Kitty Season 3 premiere Wednesday, April 2, 2026, exclusively on Netflix .
The Trailer: Kitty’s Senior Sunset List
The newly released trailer gives fans a heartwarming and emotional look at what’s to come. Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) has mapped out her entire senior year at KISS with a detailed “Senior Sunset List” —a bucket list of experiences she wants to cherish before graduation.
What’s on Kitty’s Senior Sunset List?
The trailer reveals several key goals Kitty hopes to accomplish:
- Figure Out College Applications: Like any high school senior, Kitty is stressed about her future. Where will she apply? Will it be in Korea, the United States, or somewhere else entirely?
- Have a Traditional Chuseok Meal with Her Korean Family: This deeply personal goal shows Kitty’s continued journey to connect with her heritage and the family she has discovered in Korea.
- Define Her Feelings for Min Ho: The biggest item on the list—and the one fans care about most. After seasons of tension, longing glances, and near-confessions, Kitty is finally ready to address the elephant in the room: her feelings for Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee).
The Min Ho Situation: Will They or Won’t They?
The trailer heavily focuses on the simmering romance between Kitty and Min Ho that has been building for years. After everything they’ve been through—the fake dating, the real feelings, the complications with Dae and Yuri—Kitty and Min Ho are finally at a crossroads.
Min Ho’s Feelings
Min Ho has been perhaps the most consistent presence in Kitty’s chaotic love life. From initially being annoyed by her to becoming one of her closest friends and confidants, his feelings have been evident to everyone except maybe Kitty herself. The trailer suggests that senior year might finally be the time for honesty.
Kitty’s Confusion
Kitty, true to form, seems torn. She’s a romantic at heart—she inherited it from her sister Lara Jean—but her own love life has been anything but simple. The trailer shows her grappling with whether to take a risk on Min Ho or play it safe.
Lara Jean Returns: Sisterly Wisdom
In one of the most exciting reveals in the trailer, Lana Condor reprises her role as Lara Jean Song Covey , Kitty’s beloved older sister and the star of the original To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film trilogy .
The Sisterly Advice Scene
The trailer features a touching phone call between the Song sisters. In a time of romantic crisis, Kitty does what any little sister would do—calls her big sister for advice.
Lara Jean’s words of wisdom are classic LJ:
“Whatever happens with Min Ho, we can’t just stop living our lives. We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure.”
This moment is significant for two reasons:
- It brings the To All the Boys universe full circle, connecting Kitty’s story directly to her sister’s.
- It encapsulates the core theme of the show—following your heart even when the path isn’t clear.
Fans of the original films will undoubtedly feel emotional seeing the Song sisters’ bond continue to evolve.
The Friend Group: Dae, Yuri, and Q Return
Kitty won’t be navigating senior year alone. The trailer confirms the return of her core friend group:
- Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee): The boy with the biggest crush on Kitty, finally getting his moment in the spotlight.
- Dae (Minyeong Choi): Kitty’s first love and ex-boyfriend. Where does he stand now in Kitty’s life?
- Yuri (Gia Kim): The girl Kitty once had feelings for. Her dynamic with Kitty has evolved from romantic tension to genuine friendship.
- Q (Anthony Keyvan): Kitty’s loyal best friend and confidant, always ready with advice and support.
The group’s chemistry has been a highlight of the series, and Season 3 promises more of their adventures, heart-to-hearts, and hilarious moments.
What to Expect in Season 3
College Decisions and the Future
With senior year comes the pressure of college applications. The show will likely explore where each character sees their future. Will Kitty stay in Korea? Will Min Ho follow her? Will the friend group scatter across the globe? These questions will shape the emotional core of the season.
Cultural Connections
Kitty’s desire to have a traditional Chuseok meal with her Korean family is a beautiful continuation of her journey to understand her heritage. XO, Kitty has always balanced teen romance with cultural exploration, and this storyline promises to be heartfelt and meaningful.
The Final Confession
Ultimately, Season 3 seems to be building toward one inevitable moment: Kitty and Min Ho finally confessing their feelings. Whether that happens in the first episode or the last, fans are ready for the payoff.

Fan Theories and Predictions
Theory 1: Kitty and Min Ho End Up Together
This is the most popular theory among fans. After two seasons of buildup, it seems inevitable that Kitty and Min Ho will finally get together. The question is whether it will happen early in the season (giving us a season of them as a couple) or in the finale (leaving their future open-ended).
Theory 2: Lara Jean Appears in Person
While the trailer shows a phone call, fans are hoping for an in-person cameo from Lara Jean. Perhaps she visits Kitty in Korea for a special occasion like graduation or Chuseok.
Theory 3: The Group Stays Connected
Even if everyone goes to different colleges, fans believe the show will end with the friend group promising to stay in each other’s lives—a fitting conclusion for a series about love, friendship, and found family.
Theory 4: A Full Circle Moment
Expect callbacks to the To All the Boys films—maybe Kitty writes one last letter, or we see a parallel to Lara Jean’s own high school romance.
Why XO, Kitty Resonates
The To All the Boys universe has always stood out for its:
- Authentic portrayal of teen emotions: The awkwardness, the excitement, the heartbreak—it all feels real.
- Cultural representation: Exploring Korean culture through Kitty’s eyes has been both educational and heartwarming.
- Complex relationships: Love triangles aren’t just love triangles here; they’re explorations of identity, growth, and timing.
- Sisterly bonds: The Song sisters’ relationship remains the heart of the entire franchise.
How to Prepare for Season 3
If you need a refresher before April 2:
- Rewatch To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy: Understand where Kitty came from and her family dynamics.
- Binge XO, Kitty Seasons 1 and 2: Refresh your memory on the KISS drama, the love triangle, and Kitty’s journey.
- Follow the Cast on Social Media: Anna Cathcart, Sang Heon Lee, and the rest of the cast have been sharing behind-the-scenes content.

As Lara Jean wisely says in the trailer: “We have to follow our hearts and trust that it will lead us to our next great adventure.”
