Valentina Garza, XO Kitty Showrunner
The Romance Nobody Saw Coming (But Everyone Wanted)
After three seasons of will-they-won’t-they tension, Kitty and Min Ho finally get together in season 3. Their enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc reached explosive levels when Min Ho confessed he called Kitty “Covey” during season 1, signaling feelings he couldn’t contain.
The couple faces real conflict when a misunderstanding leads to a breakup mid-season. However, their time apart teaches both characters about self-love and what truly matters. Min Ho ultimately proves his devotion by writing an original song called “By My Side” just for Kitty, complete with lyrics like “the sun doesn’t rise without you.”
Lana Condor Returns in Unexpected Cameo
Lana Condor, who played Lara Jean Covey in the original To All the Boys films, makes a surprise return to help her younger sister navigate relationship troubles. Lara Jean visits Seoul to support Kitty during her most confusing moments with Min Ho.
This reunion between the Covey sisters brings continuity to the universe while adding emotional depth. Lara Jean shares her own long-distance relationship wisdom with Peter, giving Kitty perspective that sometimes love requires patience and trust, not perfection.
Will XO Kitty Have a Season 4?
Netflix has not yet announced a season 4 renewal, though season 3’s ending leaves room for future storytelling. Fans remain hopeful given the show’s consistent popularity and the fact that Kitty and Min Ho’s story could naturally extend into their college years and beyond.
The final scenes show the couple holding hands on a flight to Portland, where Min Ho will meet Kitty’s entire family for the first time. This emotional bookend mirrors their first plane interaction from season 1, creating a full-circle moment that suggests their story is far from over.
