I haven't moved to Kotlin for Android development yet, just wondering if Kotlin supports the available third party libraries for Android as is or they need to be updated in order to work with Kotlin?

Can I call Android or other Java language library APIs from Kotlin? Yes. Kotlin provides Java language interoperability.
To use a Java library (JAR file) inside your Android project, you can simple copy the JAR file into the folder called libs in your application. *. jar files in this folder are included into the compile classpath via the default build.
Android Studio provides full support for Kotlin, enabling you to add Kotlin files to your existing project and convert Java language code to Kotlin. You can then use all of Android Studio's existing tools with your Kotlin code, including autocomplete, lint checking, refactoring, debugging, and more.
Since then, the programming language has seen a monumental rise in demand in both the developer and enterprise community. With Google announcing that Kotlin is now its preferred language for Android app developers, the language is proving to be a pragmatic, modern, and intuitive programming language.
Of course you can do that, see the examples :

Yes, as Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java, and both works on JVM. so one can easily use Java libraries with Kotlin.
Please refer this.
