XO, Kitty Season 3: UAE release time, episode count, and a sneak peek at the first 2 minutes

It has been over a year, and what a wait for XO, Kitty fans. But here we are at last, with a few hours to go.

XO, Kitty is officially heading back to Seoul for Season 3, and the stakes for Kitty’s heart have never been higher.

Here is everything you need to know before the big premiere.

The Season 2 rewind

When we last saw Katherine "Kitty" Song Covey, she was busy turning the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS) upside down. Season 2 was a whirlwind of self-discovery as Kitty unraveled her mother’s secret history, and found herself in a surprising new romance with the sassy (and occasionally infuriating) Min Ho.

The big finale cliffhanger: Kitty finally embraced her feelings for Min Ho and asked to join him on tour. And at the time, it seemed like a resounding yes.

But hold on.

First two minutes were released yesterday on Netflix

In the first sneak-peek that we got, Kitty panics and fumbles over admitting that she wants to come for the whole world tour, confusing him slightly, and then finally settling for a yacht party in Busan. He tells her to follow the dress code, that is 'yacht chic'. The miscommunication has already begun, and gosh, aren't fans ready for the drama.

What do we know about Season 3?

Season 3 follows Kitty as she navigates the transition from "tour life" back to the classroom while trying to figure out exactly what she and Min Ho are to each other. As both actors have confirmed, they do get into a relationship; it's messy and complicated, but will be worth it.

The other piece of good news is that Lana Condor is officially back as Lara Jean. You can expect some classic big-sister wisdom as LJ helps Kitty navigate the messy world of long-distance love and high school identity.
