Love it or hate it, And Just Like That… will be making a return for a third season. The highly talked-about Sex and the City reboot was officially renewed just before its season 2 finale in August 2023. With the executive producer, Michael Patrick King, expressing excitement about continuing to tell stories in the ‘Sex And The City’ universe. The series has undeniably become a popular title on the Max streaming platform, indicating a strong fan base that the creators are eager to keep engaged. However, due to production delays caused by writer and actor strikes, the return of AJLT to our screens will be delayed. Production for season 3 is expected to start later than usual, with HBO confirming that scripts are being worked on, but a specific start date is still up in the air.
The cast of the past season included familiar faces like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, alongside new additions like Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, and Nicole Ari Parker. Ramírez, who played the character Che, is reportedly not returning for season 3, with sources citing a natural conclusion to the character’s storyline as the reason for the departure. However, there is still speculation about the possibility of a brief appearance by Che in an episode. As for John Corbett, who reprised his role as Aidan in season 2, his return for the next season remains uncertain following the ambiguous end to his relationship with Carrie. Fans are also left wondering if Kim Cattrall will make another cameo as Samantha, especially after appearing in the season 2 finale.
Season 2 concluded with some significant developments that could pave the way for exciting storylines in season 3.

Miranda’s interaction with Joy at her BBC interview signals a potential romance, while Charlotte appears to be embracing her new career path. Other characters like Lisa and Herbert, Mario and Giuseppe, Nya and Chef Toussaint, and Che and Toby are also shown navigating new relationships. These hints leave fans speculating on what the next season will bring and how the characters will evolve further.
One area of curiosity surrounds possible new additions to the cast for season 3.
