Netflix’s Global #1 Hit ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 3 Proves Its Power, Powered by a Korean Backdrop

〈XO, Kitty〉 Season 3 swept the global #1 spot and proved its staying power.

Netflix original series 〈XO, Kitty〉 is a spin-off of 〈To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before〉, a drama that follows Kitty, the younger sister of the original’s main character Lara Jean, as she arrives at an international school in Seoul. Though Korea is the setting, it’s a teen drama made with overseas capital and production teams, and it won over audiences so strongly that the story carried on through Season 3.

Released on April 2, 〈XO, Kitty〉 Season 3, according to the OTT tracking site ‘FlixPatrol,’ maintained its #1 position steadily after launch, proving both its popularity and the buzz around it. On April 4, it topped the charts in 77 countries, and on April 5, it held onto #1 in 62 countries—further confirming its lasting appeal.

〈XO, Kitty〉 also helped elevate the cast into global stars, with many Korean and Korean-heritage actors appearing since the show is set in Korea. The cast includes Choi Min-young as the lead, Jia Kim as Yuri, and Lee Sang-hyun as Min-ho, among others. 〈XO, Kitty〉 Season 3 consists of 8 episodes in total.
