Love it or hate it, And Just Like That... will be back for a third season. The much-buzzed about Sex and the City reboot was renewed just days ahead of its season 2 finale on Max in August 2023.
āWe are thrilled to spend more time in the āSex And The Cityā universe telling new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by these amazing actors,ā executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement. āAnd Just Like Thatā¦ here comes season three.ā
With each episode sparking discourse weekly, the seriesā popularity is undeniable. In fact, AJLT has become the most-watched original title on Max, the streaming platformās head of original content, Sarah Aubrey, said in a statement. Itās no wonder the brand is eager to keep the momentum going.
Hereās what else we know.
Is there a trailer?
Not yet, but HBO did share a quick sneak peek of the new season in a sizzle reel for upcoming shows. The seconds-long clip features Miranda, Carrie, and Charlotte on a āvery excitingā new adventure. Skip to about 0:54 below.
When will season 3 come out?
There were some production delays following the writers and actors strikes, so it will take longer than usual for AJLT to return to our screens. During a November 2 presentation to press, HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys confirmed that the AJLT writers have āstarted writingā the scripts for season 3, but the start date for production is still unclear.
Sure enough, HBO confirmed in a December 6 sizzle reel that the Sex and the City reboot wonāt come back until 2025. In a February 2024 report, Variety stated that production would begin ālater this year.ā On May 1, new cast member Rosie OāDonnell shared a photo from a season 3 table read on Instagram, hinting that filming was imminent. Then, just a week later, filming officially began.
Who will be in the cast?
This past season, the cast comprised of: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda), Kristin Davis (Charlotte), Sara RamĆrez (Che), Sarita Choudhury (Seema), Nicole Ari Parker (Lisa), Karen Pittman (Nya), Mario Cantone (Anthony), David Eigenberg (Steve), Evan Handler (Harry), Christopher Jackson (Herbert), Niall Cunningham (Brady), Cathy Ang (Lily), and Alexa Swinton (Rock).
RamĆrez, however, reportedly wonāt return to season 3, Variety reported on February 26. Sources told the outlet the exit was due to Che and Mirandaās breakup at the end of the season, which marked a natural conclusion for the character, and not because of RamĆrezās pro-Palestine posts and support for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war on social media. According to The Hollywood Reporter, though, the scripts are still being written, and there could still be room for Che to make a brief appearance in an episode.
Pittman is also exiting the production according to a Max spokesperson speaking with Deadline in March 2024.
āIt has been a joy to have Karen Pittman play the smart and stunning Professor Nya Wallace on the first two seasons of And Just Like That,ā they stated. āAs we have thoroughly enjoyed working with this dynamic actress, so too have others. Due to her commitments to two other streamer series, it has become apparent that filming three shows at once isn't possible.ā
The statement concluded, āDue to the production realities, we are disappointed to announce that scheduling conflicts will not allow us to continue with this character as part of season 3 of And Just Like That. Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavors.ā
Rosie OāDonnell announced sheās joining the season 3 cast as a character named Mary, but she didnāt share any further details on the role. āHere comes Mary,ā she said.
John Corbett was also part of the season 2 cast, reprising his role as Aidan, and according to photos captured from production, it looks like heāll be back for season too (even his and Carrieās relationship ended in vague but rocky territory in the season 2 finale).
Deadline reported in June 2024 that three additional new cast members have joined And Just Like That... season 3. Mehcad Brooks from Law & Order, Desperate Housewivesā Jonathan Cake, and Logan Marshall-Green of Prometheus will play new recurring characters, although details on their roles havenāt been revealed just yet. The publication also reported that Sebastiano Pigazzi, who plays Giuseppe in the show, and Dolly Wells, Joy, will be getting more screen time. Theyāve been upgraded to series regulars.
Is Samantha back for season 3 of āAnd Just Like Thatā?
Sadly, the short answer is no. It was previously unclear if Kim Cattrall will make yet another cameo as Samantha (after her appearance in the season 2 finale). But on July 21, 2024 People reported that Cattrall will not return to And Just Like That. She responded to a fanās post on social media about whether she would come back, saying, āAw thatās so kind but Iām not,ā leaving us all heartbroken.
The actress further explained that it was difficult to play a character for decades on end. In an interview with Variety in 2022, she said, āItās a great wisdom to know when enough is enough. I also didnāt want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear.ā
She also added, āEverything has to grow, or it dies. I felt that when the series ended, I thought thatās smart. Weāre not repeating ourselves,ā she told the outlet. āAnd then the movie to end all the loose ends. And then thereās another movie. And then thereās another movie?ā
What will season 3 be about?
Season 2 saw Carrie rekindling her relationship with Aidan, Miranda investing in her law career after breaking up with Che, and Charlotte going back to work at an art gallery after years of being a stay-at-home mom. What adventures will season 3 bring?
The season 2 finale gave us some big hints about where things could go next. (Spoilers ahead!) Carrie and Aidan agree to take a five-year (?!) break, which creates room for Carrie to once again explore her single era. The fact that she ends the season on a beach in Greece with Seema could be the start of some fun adventures between the two of them. Seema is technically in a relationship with film director Ravi, but with him being away on a film shoot for five months, who knows what sheāll be up to.
Miranda might explore a romance with her new acquaintance Joy, who meets her on the set of her BBC interview and stays out talking with her all night. Charlotte seems to be further embracing this new chapter of her career, and juggling responsibilities (fairly) with Harry as working parents. Lisa and Herbert have gained a new perspective after she miscarries, accepting that God will have something else in store for them. And the restāMario and Giuseppe, Nya and Chef Toussaint, and Che and Tobyāseem to be diving into new relationships.
Has filming started yet?
Yes. On May 10, 2024, Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted filming in Lincoln Center. She was seen with Alexa Swinton (Rock) and Cathy Ang (Lily), all dressed in colorful outfits.
Sebastiano Pigazzi and Mario Cantone were on set too. The context of the scene is unknown.
On May 21, John Corbett, who plays Aidan, was photographed on set, outside of the apartment that Carrie got after Aidan didnāt want to be reminded of their painful last breakup in her old home.
Parker was seen on set the same day, wearing a transparent nude gown by Simone Rocha. The dress was embellished with pink roses on the front of its skirt and sleeves.
The cast has been spotted filming several times more times, like on May 31, when Nixon and OāDonnell were photographed in Times Square.
Or on July 2, when Parker and Marshall-Green were shooting a scene together outside of Carrieās apartment.
New photos from set, taken on July 22, show Aidan (John Corbett) and Carrie (Parker) reunited and walking hand in hand. However, the way the rest of the cast and extras were dressedāwearing all blackāseem to hint that they were filming a funeral scene, causing fans to question whether any of the characters die next season.
