The Returning Original Cast Members
While the focus remains on the core friendship, the men and supporting characters who defined the original series are also back to navigate their new lives.
- Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw): Continues her journey as a podcaster and writer, dealing with the evolution of her relationships and career.
- Kristin Davis (Charlotte York Goldenblatt): Returns with her signature optimism, balancing her life as a mother and her re-emerging career in the art world.
- Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes): Her character's storyline has been one of the most controversial, exploring a major career change and a new romantic path. She also serves as an executive producer and has directed several episodes of AJLT.
- John Corbett (Aidan Shaw): The return of Carrie’s former fiancé has been a huge talking point since Season 2. He is confirmed to return for Season 3, continuing their complicated reconnection.
- David Eigenberg (Steve Brady): Miranda’s ex-husband, whose emotional journey through change has resonated with many fans.
- Evan Handler (Harry Goldenblatt): Charlotte's devoted and beloved husband.
- Mario Cantone (Anthony Marentino): Charlotte's witty and often dramatic friend, who provides much of the show's comic relief.
The New Generation of Cast Members (Topical Entities)
The sequel introduced new friends who have become integral to the show's narrative, representing diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, significantly boosting the show's topical authority on modern New York life.
- Nicole Ari Parker (Lisa Todd Wexley): A stylish documentarian and Charlotte’s new close friend.
- Sarita Choudhury (Seema Patel): A successful, sharp-witted real estate broker who becomes Carrie’s new confidante.
- Karen Pittman (Dr. Nya Wallace): Miranda’s former professor who is navigating her own career and relationship challenges. (Note: While a key character, her status for S3 may vary, but she is a major entity).
- Sara Ramirez (Che Diaz): The non-binary stand-up comedian and podcast host, whose character has been at the center of much of the show’s discussion and controversy.
The Samantha Jones Question: Feuds, Cameos, and Current Status
No discussion of the Sex and the City cast is complete without addressing the elephant in the room: Kim Cattrall's absence and the enduring "feud" with Sarah Jessica Parker.
The Feud and The Exit: Kim Cattrall famously declined to participate in the third SATC movie and the sequel series, citing her desire to move on from the role of Samantha Jones and a reported rift with SJP. She has been vocal about feeling she had done all she could with the character and wanting to prioritize her own well-being.
The Surprise Cameo: In a move that shocked and delighted fans, Cattrall made a brief, non-filmed-with-the-others cameo in the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That..., playing Samantha in a phone conversation with Carrie. This single scene was a massive cultural moment, proving the power of the character.
Kim Cattrall’s Current Projects: While her return to the main AJLT storyline seems unlikely, Cattrall has been busy with other high-profile television projects, including her role in the Netflix series *Glamorous* and the Hulu series *How I Met Your Father*, where she narrates the older version of the main character. This focus on new roles highlights her successful post-SATC career.
Behind the Scenes: Controversies and Little-Known Facts
The on-screen drama was often matched by off-screen intrigue, fueling the show’s legacy as a cultural phenomenon.
- The Nudity Clause: Sarah Jessica Parker was the only one of the four main actresses who had a "no-nudity" clause in her contract, which is why Carrie Bradshaw never appeared fully nude on the show, unlike her co-stars.
- Initial Hesitation: Both Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall initially turned down their respective roles multiple times before finally agreeing to join the cast, a decision that would define their careers.
- The Che Diaz Debate: The character of Che Diaz, Miranda’s love interest in AJLT, sparked intense discussion among fans and critics, with some praising the show's attempt at modern representation and others criticizing the execution, making it one of the show's biggest modern scandals.
- The Fashion Legacy: The fifth main character, according to many, is the fashion. The show's costume designer, Patricia Field, created an enduring style legacy that continues to influence trends and is a central entity of the entire franchise.
The enduring popularity of the Sex and the City cast, whether in the original series or the controversial but successful sequel, proves that the stories of these four women—and their expanded circle—continue to be relevant. With And Just Like That... Season 3 premiering in May 2025, the conversation about love, loss, and friendship in New York City is set to continue for years to come.
