The Netflix series 'XO, Kitty' has not yet been renewed for a fourth season following the release of Season 3 in April 2026. The show's creators were already developing plans for a potential final season after Season 2, but Netflix will likely take time to evaluate the viewership performance of the latest episodes before deciding on the series' future. If approved, Season 4 would likely premiere in early-to-mid 2027 and feature the return of the principal cast as they wrap up Kitty's storylines around graduation, family, and her long-distance relationship.

Why it matters

As a popular K-drama inspired series, 'XO, Kitty' has built a dedicated fanbase who are eager to see the conclusion of Kitty Song Covey's journey. The show's renewal status will determine whether viewers get one final season to embrace the characters and themes they've grown to love.

The details

The first two seasons of 'XO, Kitty' performed well on Netflix, with the debut season earning over 14 million views in its first week and the second season surpassing 35 million views. If Season 3 sees similar viewership numbers, Netflix will likely greenlight a fourth and final season to wrap up the series. Showrunner Valentina Garza has stated the creative team is eager to continue exploring the growth and learning of the characters, which will depend on the reception of the latest episodes.

  • XO, Kitty Season 3 premiered on Netflix on April 2, 2026.
  • Netflix typically announces renewals for its original series about one month after a new season is released.
