5 Shocking Updates & Major Cast Secrets for And Just Like That... Season 3
The upcoming third season of the Sex and the City revival is set to shake up the lives of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte even further. With a confirmed premiere date and two major character exits, here are the most crucial updates you need to know.
1. Season 3 Premiere Date is Confirmed: May 29, 2025
Mark your calendars! And Just Like That... Season 3 will officially premiere on Thursday, May 29, 2025, on the Max streaming service. New episodes will be released weekly every Thursday until the season finale on August 14, 2025. This highly anticipated return will follow up on the dramatic cliffhangers from Season 2, including Carrie's future with Aidan and Miranda's post-breakup life.
2. The Controversial Che Diaz is Officially Out
In a move that has divided the fanbase, the character Che Diaz, played by Sara Ramírez, will not be returning for Season 3. Che Diaz, a non-binary, queer stand-up comedian and podcast host, was introduced as Miranda Hobbes' love interest, leading to Miranda’s separation from Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). The character's exit means Miranda will re-enter the dating world, a plot point that star Cynthia Nixon has already teased will open up new and exciting avenues for her character.
3. Another New Cast Member, Dr. Nya Wallace, Exits
The cast shake-up for Season 3 doesn't stop with Che Diaz. Karen Pittman, who played the fan-favorite character Dr. Nya Wallace—a Columbia Law professor and Miranda’s friend—is also confirmed to be leaving the series. Nya Wallace was a key part of the show's effort to diversify the cast and explore new professional storylines. Her exit, alongside Che's, means the dynamic of the main friend group will shift significantly, placing more focus back on the original trio and the remaining new additions like Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker).
4. The Heartbreaking Tribute to Willie Garson (Stanford Blatch)
The death of actor Willie Garson, who played Carrie’s best friend Stanford Blatch, was a major loss for the show. Garson passed away from pancreatic cancer during the filming of Season 1. The show paid a touching tribute to him, with his character Stanford Blatch suddenly moving to Tokyo to manage a new client. While his physical presence is missed, his character's off-screen journey has continued to be referenced, keeping the beloved Stanford a part of the universe. Sarah Jessica Parker has often spoken about her deep personal friendship with Garson, adding a layer of poignant reality to the show’s emotional moments.
5. The Financial Powerhouse: What the Cast Earns Per Episode
The financial success of the revival is staggering. The original three main stars—Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis—are reportedly each earning a massive $1 million per episode for the 10-episode seasons of And Just Like That... This figure highlights their immense star power and negotiating leverage, further cementing their status as some of the highest-paid actors in television history, a significant jump from their original Sex and the City salaries decades ago. This financial success story is as compelling as any storyline in the show.
Topical Authority Entities & Key Storylines to Watch in AJLT Season 3
As And Just Like That... moves forward, the focus shifts to the evolving lives of the remaining core characters and the new entities that have enriched the series' world, providing a fresh take on modern New York City life.
- Miranda's New Chapter: With Che Diaz gone, Miranda Hobbes is set to explore the New York dating scene as a newly single woman in her 50s. This will be a major storyline, potentially revisiting her complex relationship with her ex-husband, Steve Brady.
- Seema Patel & Lisa Todd Wexley: The new friends, played by Sarita Choudhury and Nicole Ari Parker, will take on more prominent roles following the cast exits. Seema Patel, the high-powered real estate broker, and Lisa Todd Wexley, the documentarian and socialite, are now essential to Carrie and Charlotte's support system.
- Aidan Shaw’s Return: John Corbett's return as Aidan Shaw was a major highlight of Season 2. The Season 3 premiere is expected to detail the next steps in his relationship with Carrie Bradshaw, a romance that has been a central point of contention for fans since the original series.
- Charlotte’s Family Focus: Charlotte York Goldenblatt's storyline will likely continue to focus on her children, Lily and Rock, and her husband, Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler), as they navigate the challenges of adolescence and identity.
- The Samantha Jones Question: While Kim Cattrall is not returning for a starring role in Season 3, her brief appearance in Season 2 has left the door ajar. The show will likely continue to reference her character, Samantha Jones, maintaining her presence through texts or off-screen mentions, a testament to her enduring popularity and the show's history.
With a confirmed May 2025 premiere date, major cast shifts, and the promise of new romantic and professional journeys, And Just Like That... Season 3 is poised to be the most talked-about television event of the year, proving that the stories of these New York women continue to captivate and evolve with the times.
