“And Just Like That” is missing a certain je n’ais Che quoi.
The third season of the “Sex and the City” revival series is also the first installment sans “controversial character” (in the words of series staple Cynthia Nixon) Che Diaz, who was played by Sara Ramirez. Che was a stand-up comedian who became the love interest of Miranda (Nixon) and kickstarted her coming out story.
And Season 3 of “And Just Like That” also picks up after Samantha Jones’ (Kim Cattrall) shocking cameo and Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) third split with Aidan (John Corbett). But don’t worry, Corbett is set to reprise his role for Season 3, along with series leads Parker, Nixon, and Kristin Davis. And he seems to be back with Carrie too…
The core group is rounded out by Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Christopher Jackson, Niall Cunningham, Cathy Ang, Sebastiano Pigazzi, Dolly Wells, and Alexa Swinton, who are all also returning.
Season 3 will welcome new cast members Patti LuPone, Mehcad Brooks (“Law & Order”), Jonathan Cake (“The Affair,” “Desperate Housewives”), Logan Marshall-Green (“Upgrade”), and Rosie O’Donnell in recurring in roles. The logline reads: “From executive producer Michael Patrick King, ‘And Just Like That…’ follows Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Seema, and LTW navigating the complicated reality of life, love, sex, and friendship in their 50s in New York City.”
Parker said during the 2024 Red Sea Film Festival that there are “big swings” in Season 3.
“There are so many interesting stories with additional characters that rightfully find a real home,” Parker teased. “There is growth with new faces. Carrie has a wonderful storyline. The story takes some big swings and we fold some big ideas into those big swings. Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men.”
Michael Patrick King is the showrunner and executive producer for the revival series. Actresses Parker, Davis, and Nixon all executive produce. John Melfi, Julie Rottenberg, Elisa Zuritsky, and Susan Fales-Hill also executive produce. The original “Sex and the City” series was created by Darren Star and based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell.
“And Just Like That” Season 3 premieres May 29 on Max. Check out the trailer below.
