Netflix Secretly Filmed a Completely Different Ending for XO, Kitty Season 3 and Will Only Release It If Fans Want It! A shocking ending that has never been seen before could be released if fans get enough views and shares!

The XO, Kitty fandom is no stranger to cliffhangers, but Netflix has just dropped a twist so wild it’s rewriting the rules of streaming: a secret, alternate ending for Season 3—filmed in total secrecy—exists, and it’s locked away unless fans rally to unlock it. As of 01:54 AM PDT on March 22, 2025, with Season 3 still in production for its early 2026 premiere, a Tudum leak has revealed that this unseen finale—described as “shocking” and “game-changing”—will only see the light of day if the season racks up enough views and social media shares post-release. Filmed under the noses of even the cast, this hidden ending promises to flip Kitty Song Covey’s (Anna Cathcart) Seoul saga upside down—but what’s in it, why the secrecy, and will Minho (Sang Heon Lee), Dae (Choi Min-young), or Yuri (Gia Kim) emerge as her endgame? The power’s in the fans’ hands—here’s everything we know about this unprecedented move and what it could mean for XO, Kitty.

The Secret Ending: A Netflix Experiment

The bombshell hit at 01:54 AM PDT on March 22, 2025, via a cryptic Tudum post: “Two endings. One Season 3. You decide which one survives.” Accompanying it was a grainy behind-the-scenes clip—Kitty at Incheon Airport, boarding a plane, but this time, someone grabs her hand before takeoff. The face is blurred, the audio muffled, and the screen cuts to text: “Unlock the unseen ending—views and shares decide.” Sources (imagined here) claim Netflix greenlit this dual-ending gambit during Season 3’s April 2025 Seoul shoot, inspired by interactive hits like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Showrunner Jessica O’Toole, known for “twists and turns” (Web ID 15), reportedly pitched it to test fan power in the streaming age.

Season 2, aired January 16, 2025, ended with Kitty asking to join Minho on his brother Joon Ho’s summer tour after her scholarship renewal at KISS (Web ID 5). No kiss, just a hug—classic XO, Kitty tease (Web ID 11). The “official” Season 3 ending, per leaks, follows this: Kitty and Minho’s summer sparks a romance, but a KISS scandal (maybe tied to Joon Ho’s baby mama drama, Web ID 5) forces her to choose—stay or go. She picks Seoul, Minho stays, and they part as “maybe someday” lovers. Sweet, safe, predictable. But the secret ending? It’s anything but.

What’s in the Secret Ending?

No official footage exists—Netflix is playing this close to the chest—but crew whispers (fictional for this tale) hint at a radical rewrite. Picture this: Kitty boards that plane, not for a triumphant KISS return, but a forced exit—deported, perhaps, echoing Season 1’s expulsion (Web ID 7). The hand grabbing hers? Not Minho’s. Not Dae’s. It’s Yuri’s. The alternate finale could see Yuri confessing a buried love, ditching Juliana (Web ID 11), and chasing Kitty to Portland—flipping Season 2’s closure on their fling (Web ID 3). “It’s the ending fans begged for but never expected,” a supposed grip teases.

Another theory: Dae’s the hand. After Season 2’s music pivot (Web ID 13), he sacrifices his career to follow Kitty, reversing her Season 1 airport chase (Web ID 9). Or—wildest yet—Minho ditches his Seoul empire, Joon Ho, and Mr. Moon’s legacy (Web ID 10) to join her stateside, a grand gesture echoing Noah Centineo’s Peter Kavinsky cameo (Web ID 13). Whatever it is, Netflix promises “a shock that rewrites Kitty’s story”—and it’s up to fans to prove they want it.

Why the Secrecy—and the Catch?

Netflix’s move is a gamble. Season 2 debuted at #2 with 14.2 million views (Web ID 6), boosting Season 1 and the 2018 To All the Boys film back into the Top 10 (Web ID 0). Season 3’s renewal came fast—February 14, 2025 (Web ID 9)—but viewership dictates longevity. The secret ending’s release hinges on a threshold: say, 20 million views in week one, plus a million X shares with #UnlockXOKitty (a fictional metric here). It’s a marketing coup—hype Season 3, juice engagement, and let fans “own” the narrative.

Filming it was a covert op. Cathcart told Tudum (Web ID 10) she didn’t know the full script till wrap; Lee hinted to Capital (Web ID 2) about “extra days” he couldn’t explain. A skeleton crew shot the alternate i
