The announcement of Season 3 of XO, Kitty has generated excitement among students, especially after new details revealed where the story is headed next. The upcoming season will follow the protagonist Kitty Song Covey as she enters her final year at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS), a marked turning point filled with big decisions about her future. After the emotional ups and downs of previous seasons, Kitty returns to school more self-aware but still unsure about where she belongs, both in her relationships and in her long-term goals. The new season is expected to dive deeper into her identity as she balances her Korean heritage, friendships, and academic pressures.

A major focus of Season 3 will be Kitty’s complicated love life, particularly her evolving relationship with Min Ho. What started as an unexpected dynamic has grown into one of the show’s most talked-about storylines, and the new season will explore whether their connection can turn into something more. At the same time, lingering feelings, past misunderstandings, and new romantic interests threaten to complicate things even further. Alongside romance, friendships will also be tested as secrets come to light and characters at KISS and beyond face personal challenges that push them to grow.

Beyond relationships, Season 3 is set to introduce higher stakes and more emotional depth. Kitty will be forced to confront important questions about her future, including college plans and what kind of person she wants to become. Family connections are also expected to play a bigger role, tying her journey back to Lara Jean’s legacy of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. According to IA student Medha Murthy (10), “Though I do have a love-hate relationship with XO, Kitty, It’s so much fun watching the seasons and seeing how Kitty’s world carries on the story of its predecessor.” With new conflicts, personal growth, and major life decisions ahead, the upcoming season promises to be the most impactful chapter of Kitty’s story so far, making it a highly anticipated release among high school audiences.
