The Big News: Lara Jean Is Back

Let’s be real — the moment every fan has been secretly hoping for since Season 1 is finally happening. Lana Condor reprises her beloved role as Lara Jean, marking her first time playing the character since the To All the Boys trilogy wrapped in 2021. It’s a full-circle moment for the franchise, and the timing couldn’t be better: Kitty is navigating her most emotionally complex season yet and honestly could use her big sister’s wisdom right now.

What’s the Story This Season?

Season 3 picks up with Kitty entering her final year at KISS in Seoul, determined to make it count. She’s mapped out the perfect senior year — meaningful friendships, family connections, and finally defining her relationship with Min Ho for real. Then, as always, life and love decide to throw a wrench into everything.

The romantic stakes are higher than ever. Kitty still has feelings for Yuri, Min Ho declared his love for her on a flight back from London, and Dae isn’t entirely out of the picture either. A brand-new character — Marius (played by Sule Thelwell) — arrives as a new series regular and is almost certainly going to complicate things further.

New & Returning Cast at a Glance

Returning fan favourites include Gia Kim (Yuri), Sang Heon Lee (Min Ho), Minyeong Choi (Dae), and Anthony Keyvan (Q). New addition Hojo Shin joins as Jiwon, while Sule Thelwell steps in as series regular Marius.

Behind the scenes, creator Jenny Han remains Executive Producer, with Valentina Garza (Jane the Virgin) taking over as sole showrunner — a creative shift that brings fresh energy to Kitty’s final chapter.
