Where It Began

The pairdescribed their initial screen testto PEOPLE, recounting how they walked into the audition room while Meloni was in the middle of telling Hargitay a story, and were so engaged they asked executives to give them a moment to finish the story before they began auditioning.

From there, Hargitay says it was "effortless, easy, fun."

On the Lookout

Hargitay told PEOPLE she was "devastated"when her friend and costar abruptly exited the series.

"I was just so sad, because we started this thing and built it together," she explained. "And we went through so many milestones and spent so much time together and understood so many things that nobody else could understand."

Fun and Games

Meloni toldEntertainment Tonightthat, despite his departure from the show in 2011, that they have always stayed friends.

"We just pick it up right where we left off and we've said it's like we don't have this relationship with anyone else… It's unique, it's full of laughter, she's full of love. We just kind of fall seamlessly into that place every time we see each other," he told the outlet.

Breaking the Ice

"It was Pavlovian: Ring that bell, and you get right into Stabler and Benson," Meloni told PEOPLE of their return to the screen in theOrganized Crimecrossover event.

"There was so much shorthand between us, which all goes back to the trust we have," Hargitay added. "He's always made me feel like I could just jump off the ledge, the cliff, the bridge, and he would catch me, in so many ways, whether it was comedy or acting or friendship."

"It's simple," Meloni said. "We have each other's back."

Will 'XO, Kitty' be renewed for Season 4? What we know so far.

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Netflix series "XO, Kitty."

Kitty and her friendsare officially "halfway to graduation, halfway to goodbye" following Season 3 of "XO, Kitty."

Between the return of an ex-classmate and a surprise pregnancy, the KISS crew, Kitty included, spent the better part of the semester trying to keep up with all of the curveballs that had been thrown their way.

The youngest Covey might have had to take a few losses as she worked to complete her Sunset List, but in the end, she managed to get every single item crossed off her list. Though none of them really went the way she imagined.

Despite her Sunset List not coming together the way she imagined, Kitty (Anna Cathcart) wouldn't change a thing.

"I had so many expectations coming into my senior year. I even wrote them all down in a list," Kitty says in the final episode. "I wanted it to be perfect. It wasn't. It was... messy. Sometimes it hurts. But it was beautiful, and I wouldn't change a thing. Even the surprises."

Kitty added, "There may be even more to come, and I'm okay with that."

Inspired by the"To All the Boys" book and film trilogycharacter Katherine "Kitty" Song-Covey, the spinoff charts the teen's journey to (and adventures in) Seoul, South Korea, after enrolling at her late mother's alma mater.

The newest "XO, Kitty" season dropped Thursday, April 2. All Season 3 episodes are currently streaming on Netflix.

Here's what we know about a potential "XO, Kitty" Season 4, including where to watch.

It's hard to say goodbye, but fans of these TV shows will have to do just that in 2026. From fantasy epics like Starz's "Outlander" (starring Sam Heughan, left, and Caitriona Balfe, pictured) to talk shows like "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Late Night With Stephen Colbert," these 20 shows are ending this year.
