Spoilers ahead! If you thought you could stream XO, Kitty Season 3 without your heart getting dragged back to 2018, think again. MoonCovey shippers finally got their happy ending, but the internet is on fire for a completely different reason.
Did Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky break up? What XO, Kitty Season 3 revealed
The chaos started early. In Season 3, Episode 1, Kitty receives an urgent phone call from her older sister Lara Jean, who reveals that she and Peter are going through a difficult time in their relationship. By Episode 2, Kitty is already in New York City to spend the summer supporting her sister. For those who may not be aware, it was Kitty who helped Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky give their love story a happy ending in the movies. As she navigates her own growing-up challenges, the tables have turned, with Lara Jean sharing some older-sister wisdom. But who is Kitty without all her help and being the ultimate Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky shipper? So here she is!
What exactly went wrong? Long distance, apparently. Lara Jean is living in New York, working as an editorial assistant, while Peter is in California for his job. The strain of being separated after years of fighting to be together has left Lara Jean unsure if they will actually make it.
Fans have a lot of thoughts (and expectations)
Fans immediately lost it. One person on X wrote, "NETFLIX IS GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL WHAT DO YOU MEAN LARA JEAN AND PETER BROKE UP HE WAS LITERALLY ON LAST SEASON OF XO KITTY TALKING ABOUT PROPOSING I'M F***** P*****" . Another simply asked, "Lara and Peter???? What's going on" . Someone else added, "THEY DARED TO SEPARATE LARA AND PETER, WHAT?" .Another user wrote, "and they knew what they were doing, baiting us with Peter and Lara Jean cameos just to break them up."
"Either I'll hunt down Jenny Han for this shit OR MAYBE THIS IS A SIGN THAT SHE IS GIVING US A PETER - LARA JEAN MOVIE TOO??? peter was NOT waiting for lara jean at the hot tub i knew right then and there."
"Oh so Kitty is living with Lara Jean in NYC, love that!! But I hate that Lara Jean and Peter have broken up, if they're not fixed by the end of this season I'll be p**** off".
But here is the twist that has everyone confused. By the end of the season, Lara Jean calls Kitty to wish her a happy 18th birthday and shares some hopeful news. She tells Kitty that she and Peter are committed to making their relationship work. So are they broken up? Are they fixing things? The show left it deliberately messy, and that is exactly why fans are furious and hopeful at the same time.
One fan said, "Streets say they got back together- got my man Peter crying and begging on his knees on Lara-Jean's doorstep. I knowwww he had snot running down his nose fr."
Is a new To All The Boys movie happening?
Here is where it gets juicy. Fans are convinced this breakup tease was not a random tragedy; it is a strategy. Fans are also hopeful that they might see a 4th To All The Boys movie where Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky finally get married after navigating their ups and downs for years. The leading theory is that Netflix is deliberately stirring up outrage to test the waters for another To All The Boys movie. By throwing the beloved couple into uncertainty in a spin-off show and bringing them back together with news to share, the streamer creates instant chaos.
However, not everyone is here for it. A loud chunk of the fandom is calling this a blatant cash grab, accusing Netflix of milking nostalgia instead of letting Lara Jean and Peter retire in peace.
As of now, no official fourth movie has been confirmed. But the fact that Netflix brought back Lana Condor for multiple episodes in Season 3, referenced Peter constantly, and left their relationship status intentionally open-ended, making it hard for fans not to read the tea leaves. Jenny Han has played the long game before, and she knows exactly what she is doing. For now, the Covey Kavinsky story is far from over.
