Social media is reacting to the official third season return of Netflix's iconic teenage romance series XO, Kitty. Though not everyone is on board, the To All the Boys I've Loved Before spinoff has acquired quite a devoted fan base. Some can't help but criticize the show, even while many are super pumped for the new season. A widely shared tweet that quoted the Season 3 renewal news and said,

"Y'all really watching this," encapsulated the confusing scepticism.

The show's devoted fans—and trolls—seem unfazed by its conflicting reviews, whether it's the endearing mess of Kitty Song Covey's love life or the uncomfortable teenage drama that keeps viewers interested. So, Kitty, are people actually watching XO? Yes, it seems, and Season 3 will soon be available on Netflix.


Love it or hate it, XO, Kitty is back—social media reacts with a mix of excitement and mockery

As soon as the renewal was announced, X (formerly Twitter) exploded with reactions, ranging from excitement to utter disbelief. One user playfully admitted,

"corny ass show but imma still watch,"

encapsulating the guilty pleasure vibe XO, Kitty seems to give off.

Another tweet bluntly expressed,

"Stopped after 30 embarrassing seconds,"

while yet another chimed in with,

"yes now what,"

perfectly summarizing the collective confusion some viewers feel about the show’s appeal.

Not everyone is as harsh, though. One user did confess,

"it’s fun tbh,"

but the fun-to-cringe ratio was hotly debated when someone added,

"5% fun, 95% cringe."

For those totally lost on the show, another user commented,

"I have never seen any of whatever this is,"

paired with a hilarious gif of a dilapidated toy monkey, representing the baffled viewers unaware of the XO, Kitty hype.

And for those not sure what all the fuss is about? One person asked the million-dollar question:

"it’s bad?? or what’s the issue 😭😭😭,"

giving voice to anyone debating whether to invest in this Netflix teen romance rollercoaster.


What to expect in XO, Kitty Season 3

With Kitty Song Covey, the courageous lead we've followed from her start in To All the Boys I've Loved Before, Season 3 promises more drama, love triangles, and iconic Korean drama-like experiences for viewers. Season 3 is said to go further into Kitty's relationships, particularly with Min Ho, a fan favorite who became a pivotal role in Season 1, whereas Seasons 1 and 2 concentrated on her acclimatization to life in Korea and navigating a turbulent love life with cast members we will not name for spoilers purposes. Will they be together in the end? The bets are already being placed by fans.

As they deal with fresh personal struggles, Season 3 is also anticipated to see the return of well-known characters like Dae, Q, and Yuri. Although opinions on the show's quality have been divided among critics and viewers, the renewal indicates that it is appealing to its intended demographic. Some people are thrilled to witness how Kitty's narrative develops, while others may slightly flinch at the melodrama.

Although Netflix has not yet officially announced the release date for Season 3, rumors suggest that it will debut in late 2025, following the show's tradition of releasing new episodes in the autumn. Anticipation is already rising due to the abundance of unsolved storylines and oh-so-exciting cliffhangers from Season 2.

One thing is certain, regardless of whether you're a devoted fan or simply here for the memes: XO, Kitty will return to stir up more drama, discourse, giggles, and most likely more trolls.
