After the dramatic second season of And Just Like That—filled with Aidan’s return, Big’s denial, and abortion debates—the show is coming back for a third season much sooner than expected.
### Is there a trailer for And Just Like That Season 3?
Yes! You can watch the full trailer below.
### Will the Season 2 cast return for Season 3?
Most of the main cast—Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, John Corbett, and others—are expected to return, with two exceptions.
First, Sara Ramirez, who played comedian Che Diaz, will not be back. Ramirez claimed on Instagram that they were let go due to industry blacklisting over their support for Palestine, but production sources disputed this, stating Che’s storyline had simply run its course and fans found the character grating.
Second, Karen Pittman (Professor Nya Wallace) won’t return due to scheduling conflicts with The Morning Show and Forever. The show’s team expressed disappointment but wished her well.
### New faces joining Season 3
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell confirmed her role as a character named Mary, sharing a script photo with the premiere title, “Outlook Good.” SNL alum Cheri Oteri was also spotted filming, and Patti LuPone will reprise her role.
The season promises more drama, laughs, and Manhattan escapades—so stay tuned!Here’s the rewritten text in clear and natural English:

Three more male cast members have been confirmed: Logan Marshall-Green (known for The O.C.), Mehcad Brooks (from Law & Order), and British actor Jonathan Cake (a Desperate Housewives alum). Additionally, recurring guest stars Sebastiano Pigazzi (Giuseppe, the Italian poet and Anthony’s love interest) and Dolly Wells (Joy, Miranda’s new love interest) will now be series regulars.
More casting news arrived in January 2025 when showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed in Entertainment Weekly that Broadway legend Patti LuPone would have a multi-episode arc in Season 3. He also revealed that Rosemarie DeWitt would return as Aidan’s ex-wife, Kathy, and Kristen Schaal would appear in an undisclosed role.

### What will happen in And Just Like That Season 3?
Details are still under wraps, but Che and Nya’s exits raise plenty of questions: Where will Miranda’s story go next? Will she and Joy actually become a couple? Will Carrie and Aidan reconcile, or stick to their five-year break? (The trailer and set photos hint at the former.) And after Kim Cattrall’s buzzy cameo in the Season 2 finale, could Samantha return for good? It might seem unlikely, but this is the show that shocked fans by killing off Big in Season 1 and later reframed Carrie’s decades-long romance as a mistake—not to mention the creators once insisted Cattrall would never appear. So, truly, anything could happen.

A few hints have emerged. On July 22, 2024, set photos showed Carrie, Aidan, Miranda, Charlotte, Seema, Harry, Anthony, and Giuseppe attending what appears to be a funeral. Carrie and Aidan looked loved-up, and their friends greeted them warmly. Given the upbeat mood, the deceased likely isn’t a major character—but nothing’s certain.
In January, King teased new storylines, telling EW to expect “a lot of ‘new’ within the familiar,” with even returning characters facing fresh challenges. “Miranda has a new apartment. We wanted to tell new stories and put them through new obstacles.”

One highlight? Carrie’s new career move—bringing back her iconic voiceovers. “She’s writing a book, and the voiceover is how we enter that world,” King explained. “For the first two seasons, I removed it because she was emotionally adrift. Now she’s finding her footing again. Writing is private, so it’s like an intimate conversation with the viewer—maybe sharing things she wouldn’t tell her closest friends.” Consider us intrigued.
### When will And Just Like That Season 3 be released?
The new trailer confirmed the premiere date: May 29. The countdown is on.
