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.
“We are thrilled to spend more time in the ‘Sex And The City’ universe telling new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by these amazing actors,” executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement. “And Just Like That… here comes season three.”
With each episode sparking discourse weekly, the series’ popularity is undeniable. In fact, AJLT has become the most-watched original title on Max, the streaming platform’s head of original content, Sarah Aubrey, said in a statement. It’s no wonder the brand is eager to keep the momentum going.
Here’s what else we know.
When will season 3 come out?
Max has not yet announced a release date, and understandably so, since the renewal was just made public. We can also expect some production delays as the writers and actors strikes continue. So don’t be surprised if it takes longer than usual for AJLT to return to our screens.
Who will be in the cast?
This past season, the cast comprised of: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda), Kristin Davis (Charlotte), Sara Ramírez (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).
John Corbett was also part of the season 2 cast, reprising his role as Aidan, but it’s unclear if he’ll return in season 3, especially with his and Carrie’s relationship heading into rocky territory as the season 2 finale approaches. We’ll just have to watch and see.
It’s also unclear if Kim Cattrall will make yet another cameo as Samantha (she’s set to appear in a scene in the season 2 finale). It might not be likely, but we’re holding out hope!
We’re still waiting to hear about possible new additions to the cast too.
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? Thursday’s season 2 finale is bound to give us some bigger hints.
