Netflix announced the renewal in a Valentine’s Day-appropriate Instagram post captioned, “Roses are red. Violets are blue. There’s a third season of XO, Kitty in store for you!” Season two of the series premiered Jan. 16 and debuted at No. 2 on the streamer’s English TV list with 14.2 million views for the week of its debut.
“I’m so excited to head back to Seoul for another season with our incredible cast and crew. If you thought junior year at KISS brought the drama…just wait,” showrunner Jessica O’Toole said in a statement. “I know we left fans on a cliffhanger at the end of season two, but I can promise season three will be worth the wait, including our first summer episode — not to mention plenty of romance, friendship, adventure … and kissing. Lots of kissing.”
Season two of XO, Kitty ended the titular character seemingly offering to go off on tour with her crush Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) and his family. The synopsis for the season says in part: “[Kitty]’s single for the first time in a long time, and ready for a fresh start: no more meddling, no more drama. Maybe just some casual dating. Emphasis on casual. But she has more to worry about than her love life, as a letter from her mother’s past sets her on a wild journey, and new faces at KISS bring change. As secrets unravel and bonds are tested, Kitty will learn that life, family and love are more complicated than she ever imagined.”
To All the Boys author Jenny Han created the series. O'Toole serves as showrunner and writer of XO, Kitty. They are producing the series, which comes from Awesomeness Studios, along with Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment.
