And Just Like That<\/a><\/em>\u00a0fans have another season to look forward to of the show. Max announced in August 2023 that its <\/span>Sex and the City<\/span><\/em> reboot has been renewed for season 3. The streaming service later announced, however, that the show won’t be returning until 2025 by sharing a <\/span>montage clip<\/a> promoting the third season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While fans are keen to get a resolution to the season 2 storylines, the wait may seem endless. However, things are moving forward. In May 2024,\u00a0<\/span>Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a>\u00a0shared a pic from the first season 3 table read to Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n “Here. We. Go. X, SJ,” she captioned the shot.<\/span><\/p>\n The season 3 table read also introduced fans to a new addition to the cast — <\/span>Rosie O’Donnell<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n The actress and comedian also <\/span>shared an Instagram post<\/a> of her script, revealing that she’ll be playing a character called “Mary.” However, as Parker later revealed on\u00a0<\/span>Today With Hoda & Jenna\u00a0<\/span><\/em>in May, she and O’Donnell do not share any scenes together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the wake of that <\/span>confusing season 2 finale<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0where Carrie Bradshaw (Parker) and Aidan Shaw (<\/span>John Corbett<\/a>) say their goodbyes for <\/span>five years<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and Samantha Jones (<\/span>Kim Cattrall<\/a>) makes her triumphant return to the franchise for a brief cameo — fans certainly have some questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Showrunner and executive producer Michael Patrick King shared the news of the show’s renewal in a statement, saying, “We are thrilled to spend more time in the<\/span>\u00a0Sex and the City<\/span><\/i>\u00a0universe telling new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by these amazing actors. <\/span>And Just Like That<\/span><\/em>\u2026 here comes season 3.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Parker teased more “layers” ahead and described the upcoming season as having a “souffl\u00e9 quality.”<\/span><\/p>\n “It just feels really lovely,” she told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.<\/span><\/p>\n As the actress put it, “There will be layers and complexity and complications as there always are — certainly in Carrie’s life.”<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s everything to know so far about season 3.<\/span><\/p>\n The exact premiere date for season 3 of <\/span>And Just Like That<\/span><\/em> is currently unknown, but following the <\/span>SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes<\/a>, there’s been a delay in production. Season 1 aired in late 2021 and season 2 premiered in August 2023, leaving more than a year gap between the two installments.<\/span><\/p>\n Max announced in December that the show would be returning in 2025 in a promotional clip for several of its shows.<\/span><\/p>\n In May 2024, Parker shared a pic from the first season 3 table read to Instagram — though she strategically hid the title of the premiere episode.<\/span><\/p>\n “Here. We. Go. X, SJ,” she captioned the secretive shot.<\/span><\/p>\n Though the cast is currently unknown, it’s safe to assume that Parker,\u00a0<\/span>Cynthia Nixon<\/a> (Miranda Hobbes) and <\/span>Kristin Davis<\/a> (Charlotte York Goldenblatt) will be returning for season 3 as all three women serve as executive producers on the series. After Aidan made his exit, he seemed to think that he’d be gone for years, while Carrie quipped that it might be sooner than that — leaving open the <\/span>possibility for Corbett’s future reappearance<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n In February 2024, Nicole Ari Parker <\/span>spoke with ET<\/a> about going “back to work” on the show in a few months, confirming her return. And Parker’s May 2024 <\/span>table read Instagram post<\/a> also tagged Mario Cantone and Sarita Choudhury, which seems to confirm they will also be returning for the new season.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the reboot will be also losing some established characters in season 3. In February 2024,\u00a0<\/span>it was reported<\/a> that\u00a0<\/span>Sara Ram\u00edrez<\/a>\u00a0would not be reprising their role as divisive comedian\u00a0Ch\u00e9 Diaz, after appearing in the first two seasons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to <\/span>Variety<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in May 2024, Nixon said that Ram\u00edrez and\u00a0showrunner\u00a0Michael Patrick King made the decision together.\u00a0“They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character,” Nixon told the outlet of Ram\u00edrez. “I think they felt, and Michael Patrick felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.”<\/span><\/p>\n In March 2024, it was also confirmed that\u00a0<\/span>Karen Pittman<\/a>\u00a0is not returning as Professor\u00a0Nya Wallace in season 3. Nya was a recurring character in season 1, where she befriended Miranda at Columbia before becoming a regular character — and reluctant roommate — in season 2.<\/span><\/p>\n “It has been a joy to have Karen Pittman play the smart and stunning Professor Nya Wallace on the first two seasons of\u00a0<\/span>And Just Like That\u2026<\/span><\/em>,” a Max spokesperson told ET in a statement.\u00a0“As 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.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Due 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\u00a0<\/span>And Just Like That\u2026<\/span><\/em>,” the statement continued.\u00a0“Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavors.”<\/span><\/p>\n However, season 3’s first table read also introduced fans to a new addition to the cast — Rosie O’Donnell!<\/span><\/p>\n The actress and comedian also <\/span>shared an Instagram post<\/a> of her script, revealing that she’ll be playing a character called “Mary.” (She also happened to reveal the title of the premiere episode — “Outlook Good.”)<\/span><\/p>\nPREMIERE DATE<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n
