We show that the null geodesic radial action for unbound orbits in the Kerr spacetime, and consequently the scattering angle, can be resummed in terms of hypergeometric functions, extending previous results [M.~M.~Ivanov, et al. arXiv:2504.07862]. We provide explicit expressions as series expansions in powers of the Kerr rotational parameter up the fourth order included. We finally use the Mano-Suzuki-Takasugi formalism to prove the relation between the renormalized angular momentum and the radial action highlighted in previous works.
