Actor's message sparked rumors of - XO, Kitty - (XO, Kitty) cancellation

Seven months after the launch of the third season of XO, Kitty, there is still no official news about the fourth season.Anthony Kevan, who plays Kitty’s friend Q, recently left a series of vague replies in the TikTok comment section, making viewers who are waiting for renewal increasingly uneasy.However, as of November 1, when the report was issued, Netflix had neither announced renewal nor cancellation. These messages from the actors cannot be regarded as a platform decision.

A fan asked where the next season will be. Kiwan's reply was to the effect: I'm going to hold your hand and tell you about it... This sentence, which is usually used to pave the way for bad news, received a lot of likes, and the related video had more than 700 comments.Another viewer asked if there would be another season, and he responded with an emoji; someone asked him to stop joking and confirm the existence of a fourth season, and he still responded with an emoji.

These interactions are not recent.Fans dug out the message he had said in July that he would not be coming, and some reminded him to wait for the official announcement and not to directly take the actor's reply on social platforms as a conclusion.It's unclear whether Kiwan received a behind-the-scenes notification or was simply joking in response to the long wait.

Earlier records also provide a reference: In 2023, he said in a review that there would be no second season, and the show later launched a second season as usual.What’s on Netflix therefore reminds him that he has used such words to tease or mislead viewers before.The media reached out to Netflix for confirmation on the Friday before the report, but had not received a response as of press time.

In an interview with US Weekly in May this year, star Anna Cathcart said that the fourth season is still a big question mark, and the actors are also waiting for answers.Since then, neither the lead actor nor creator Jenny Han has given any further news.On October 30, another fan noticed that Cathcart’s social account profile deleted text related to the show; this change also did not come with instructions for renewal or cancellation.

Even if Season 4 doesn't happen, Kitty's story may not end there.Deadline reported in July that Paramount Television Studios extended Netflix's option on the series to give the platform more time to decide.Options discussed include continuing with a fourth season — either in Seoul or elsewhere — and wrapping up with a movie.Actors' contracts have also been extended with options to continue participating when new orders come in.

What’s on Netflix believes that Keevan’s message may be related to the cancellation, or it may indicate that the entire season will not be renewed and ended with a movie instead.Jenny Han's "To All the Boys" told the story in three movies, and "The Summer I Turned Pretty" also promoted the movie follow-up after three seasons, which gave the movie plan a comparable precedent.

The reason why this wait seems abnormal is because the previous two decisions were very quick: the first season will be launched on May 18, 2023, and renewed on June 14; the second season will be launched on January 16, 2025, and the next season will be confirmed on February 14.The third season premiered on April 2, 2026, about seven months ago.

Rating performance has declined, but it has not collapsed suddenly.The third season topped Netflix's weekly English drama list with 12.9 million views, accumulating 29.3 million views as of June 30, and ranked 16th in the first half of 2026 - What We Watched - report.The data for the first three weeks of the first three seasons are as follows. The units are the number of views, not the number of unique viewers.

Calculated based on the total figures in the table, the cumulative number in the first three weeks of the third quarter was approximately 12.5“ lower than that of the second quarter, and approximately 27.3” lower than that of the first quarter.What’s on Netflix had previously judged that the fourth season was very promising, and later in its renewal prediction at the end of 2026, it still tended to be renewed and may be the final season. It also pointed out that the longer the silence drags on, the harder it will be to be optimistic about the results.The social message did not cause the outlet to directly change its decision to cancel, but it believes that the concluding film is now at least as worthy of consideration as the complete fourth season.
