The casting brings the franchise full circle, following previous guest appearances from "To All the Boys" alums Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky and Janel Parrish as Margot Song Covey. Condor's appearance marks the first time Lara Jean has been seen in the spinoff series, which follows youngest sister Kitty as she navigates life and love at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS).

"XO, Kitty" season 3 premieres Thursday, April 2, 2026, on Netflix. The eight-episode season finds Kitty returning for her final year at KISS with her senior year carefully planned. According to Netflix's official logline, she intends to "make meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future." The season will also see Kitty finally define her relationship with Min Ho "for real this time," though surprise revelations threaten to throw her plans off course.

Anna Cathcart stars as Kitty Song Covey, leading an ensemble cast that includes Minyeong Choi as Dae, Gia Kim as Yuri, Sang Heon Lee as Min Ho, Anthony Keyvan as Q, and Regan Aliyah as Juliana. Valentina Garza serves as showrunner, executive producing alongside franchise creator Jenny Han, ACE Entertainment's Matt Kaplan, and Bradley Gardner.

The crossover arrives as fans have long awaited a full Song Covey reunion on screen, with Condor's appearance promising emotional moments between the eldest and youngest sisters.
