When Does XO, Kitty Season 4 Come Out? Is It Renewed?

What is XO, Kitty about?

Anna Cathcart's Kitty Song Covey first appeared in Jenny Han's "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" film series as the wisecracking younger sister, and this spinoff gives her the lead role and transplants her to Seoul, where she enrolls at the same Korean boarding school her late mother once attended. The premise is essentially a teen soap with a strong sense of place, and the show earns genuine points for committing to that setting rather than using it as wallpaper. Korean characters get real storylines, dialogue moves between English and Korean with reasonable fluency, and the campus feels lived-in.

The tone sits somewhere between frothy and earnest, which is both its appeal and occasionally its problem. Kitty is likable but relentlessly certain of herself in ways that can grate, and the romantic reshuffling across three seasons follows a familiar pattern of will-they-won't-they orbits that fans of the genre will recognize immediately. The show is not trying to subvert the teen romance formula. It is trying to execute it with warmth and some cultural specificity, and on those terms it mostly succeeds.

Netflix audiences found it quickly, and the show developed a loyal following that kept it running for three seasons and 26 episodes. Critics were cooler, noting the uneven writing and some underused supporting characters, but the IMDb score of around 6.5 reflects a split between fans who wanted exactly this and viewers who found it thin. Neither reaction is wrong, exactly.

What the show does best is create a genuine sense of Kitty being far from home and figuring out who she is when the family mythology she's been living inside starts to crack. The mystery around her mother's time at the school gives the series an emotional anchor it wouldn't otherwise have, and the moments when that thread surfaces tend to be the ones that land hardest.

Is XO, Kitty renewed or cancelled?

Why did XO, Kitty end?

XO, Kitty wrapped up after three seasons, which is a pretty reasonable run for a Netflix teen romantic comedy. The show was a spinoff of the To All the Boys film trilogy, and that kind of brand extension has a natural ceiling. Once you've told Kitty Song Covey's story through boarding school romances and identity discoveries, there's only so far you can stretch the premise before it starts repeating itself.

Netflix has generally been willing to let lighter, youth-skewing shows run for two or three seasons and then close them out rather than let them drag on until the audience disappears entirely. With an IMDb rating sitting at 6.5, the show was never a prestige darling, but it had a loyal enough fanbase to justify a third season. Three seasons and 26 episodes is a tidy conclusion for this kind of property, and it's likely the creative team landed on a story endpoint that felt satisfying rather than being forced off the air.

The To All the Boys franchise has now run its course across both films and this series, and Netflix has moved on to other teen content. There's no particular drama here. XO, Kitty got to finish on its own terms, which is more than a lot of Netflix shows can say.
