Season 3 of And Just Like That…, the much-discussed sequel to Sex and the City, is officially in production, but fans will have to wait a little longer for its release. With the confirmed premiere date not set until 2025, there’s plenty of anticipation about where the stories of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and the rest of the cast will go next.

Here’s everything you need to know about And Just Like That… Season 3, including casting news, new additions to the show, and which characters are saying goodbye.

When Will And Just Like That… Season 3 Premiere?

Good news: Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed on May 1 that production on And Just Like That… Season 3 is underway. The bad news? The third season isn’t expected to hit screens until 2025. While no specific release date has been set, Variety previously reported that the show is targeting a mid-2025 premiere.

Fans of the show will have to wait for the next chapter in the lives of Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York Goldenblatt, and their eclectic group of friends, but with production in full swing, more updates are expected soon.

What About Samantha Jones? Will Kim Cattrall Return?

One of the biggest ongoing questions about And Just Like That… has been the potential return of Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall. Despite her brief cameo in the Season 2 finale, fans hoping for more of Samantha in Season 3 may be disappointed. Cattrall took to X (formerly Twitter) to put the rumors to rest, responding to a fan who speculated about her return, saying, “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not.”

For now, it appears that Samantha Jones is not coming back beyond her cameo, and Cattrall has made it clear that she’s moving on from the role that helped define her career.

Who’s Joining the Cast in Season 3?

Season 3 of And Just Like That… will see some exciting new additions and promotions for existing cast members.

Mehcad Brooks, Jonathan Cake, and Logan Marshall-Green have all joined the cast in recurring guest roles. Details about their characters are still under wraps, but their presence is sure to shake things up for the main trio.
Sebastiano Pigazzi, who plays Anthony’s boyfriend Giuseppe, and Dolly Wells, who plays Miranda’s colleague Joy, have both been elevated to series regulars. Fans can expect more development for both of their characters as their stories unfold in Season 3.
Cheri Oteri and Rosie O’Donnell are also joining the cast. Oteri announced her involvement via Instagram in May, and O’Donnell shared that she would be playing a character named Mary.

Who’s Leaving?

While Season 3 will bring new faces, a few key characters are stepping away.

Karen Pittman, who played Professor Nya Wallace, won’t be returning for Season 3. Her character had been a steady presence, but she won’t be part of the upcoming season.
Sara Ramírez, who portrayed the polarizing character Che Diaz, will also not reprise their role. Che’s storyline had been divisive among fans, and Season 3 will go in a different direction without them.

Returning Favorites

Despite the cast changes, the core trio of Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York Goldenblatt) will, of course, be back for Season 3. Other returning cast members include:

Mario Cantone as Anthony Marentino
Sarita Choudhury as Seema Patel
Evan Handler as Harry Goldenblatt
Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa Todd Wexley
Chris Jackson as Herbert Wexley
David Eigenberg as Steve Brady
Niall Cunningham as Brady Hobbes
Cathy Ang as Lily Goldenblatt
Alexa Swinton as Rock Goldenblatt
Sebastiano Pigazzi as Giuseppe

The core cast will continue to navigate their lives and friendships in New York City, with some new challenges and surprises on the horizon.

What Can We Expect from Season 3?

While plot details for Season 3 are still under wraps, it’s likely that the show will continue exploring the themes of love, friendship, and aging that have been central to the series so far. Here’s what we might see in the upcoming season:

Carrie Bradshaw will likely continue navigating her life after the death of Mr. Big, but with a renewed focus on career and friendships. Will she find love again, or will Season 3 emphasize her independence?
Miranda Hobbes had a dramatic character arc in Season 2, leaving her long-term relationship with Steve and pursuing a relationship with Che Diaz. With Che’s exit from the series, it will be interesting to see where Miranda’s storyline goes next.
Charlotte York Goldenblatt will likely continue balancing family life with her personal aspirations. Her children, Lily and Rock, have provided much of Charlotte’s storyline in previous seasons, but it’s possible that Season 3 will shift the focus back to her own journey.

How to Watch And Just Like That… Season 3

When Season 3 finally drops in 2025, it will be available to stream on Max (formerly HBO Max), just like the previous two seasons. Fans can binge-watch the latest episodes there, as well as catch up on the first two seasons in the meantime.

Final Thoughts

Though it’s a long wait until And Just Like That… Season 3 hits screens, there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the show’s return. With new cast members, character shake-ups, and ongoing storylines, Season 3 promises to bring fresh drama, humor, and fashion that fans of Sex and the City and its sequel have come to expect.
