The enduring legacy of Sex and the City continues to captivate audiences globally, but the lives of the actors who brought Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha to life are perhaps even more compelling today, in late 2025. The franchise's continuation, And Just Like That... (AJLT), has kept the core trio in the spotlight, yet the personal and professional trajectories of the entire ensemble—from political activism and philanthropic missions to major cast shake-ups—have made headlines that extend far beyond Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This is the definitive, up-to-the-minute look at the current status, latest projects, and surprising career turns of the iconic Sex and the City and And Just Like That... actors.
The year 2025 has proven to be a pivotal time for the cast, marked by major returns, notable exits from the Max reboot, and high-profile non-acting ventures that solidify their status as cultural icons.

The continuation series, And Just Like That... Season 3, has brought both stability and major changes to the supporting cast, keeping the drama high and the topical authority fresh. The season returned on May 29, 2025, with several notable developments.
The Major Cast Exits That Shook Season 3
Two prominent characters introduced in the first two seasons of AJLT will not be returning for the third, leading to significant plot adjustments. These departures underscore the show's willingness to evolve its ensemble beyond the original four friends.
- Sara Ramirez (Che Diaz): The nonbinary comedian and podcast host, a central figure in Miranda's storyline, will not be reprising their role. Their exit was one of the biggest cast shake-ups for the new season.
- Karen Pittman (Dr. Nya Wallace): Miranda's college professor and confidante, Dr. Nya Wallace, is also leaving the series, a departure that was met with reaction from remaining cast members like Sarita Choudhury.
The Beloved Men Who Are Back for More
While some new faces depart, several fan-favorite male actors are confirmed to return, ensuring the core relationship dynamics of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte remain intact.
- John Corbett (Aidan Shaw): Carrie's former fiancé, Aidan, is confirmed to return for Season 3, continuing his rekindled romance with Carrie Bradshaw. The ongoing presence of Aidan represents a major narrative focus for the new season, exploring the complexities of second chances and mature relationships.
- David Eigenberg (Steve Brady): Miranda's ex-husband, Steve, is also back, often seen filming scenes in New York City with his on-screen son, Brady Hobbes (Niall Cunningham). His character continues to explore life post-divorce and his relationship with his family.
- Evan Handler (Harry Goldenblatt) and Mario Cantone (Anthony Marentino): Both Charlotte's husband and Carrie's gay best friend, respectively, are confirmed to be returning for AJLT Season 3, ensuring the continuation of their beloved comedic and emotional roles.
The Controversial Figure: Chris Noth and His Career Post-Allegations
The fate of Chris Noth's character, Mr. Big, was sealed early in And Just Like That..., but the actor's professional life continues to be a topic of discussion due to the sexual assault allegations that emerged in late 2021. This sensitive topic is a crucial part of the Sex and the City actors' current narrative.
Following the allegations, Noth was notably written out of the CBS series The Equalizer, and his planned cameo in the AJLT Season 1 finale was cut. However, Noth has recently begun a slow return to the screen. In a major update, he was seen in a horror film, marking his first on-screen role since the allegations. This film was updated in August 2025, indicating his return to the industry is moving forward. He also participated in a stage performance, It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, in late 2024. While his career remains significantly curtailed, Noth is actively seeking new projects, demonstrating a cautious re-entry into the public eye.
The Topical Authority: Beyond Acting and Into Activism
The Sex and the City actors have leveraged their celebrity to become influential figures in various non-entertainment sectors, adding significant depth to their public profiles.
- Philanthropy and Global Causes: Kristin Davis is a powerhouse in this area, actively supporting causes like Oxfam, UNICEF, and conservation efforts for African elephants. Her work is a testament to her commitment to global humanitarian issues.
- Political Advocacy: Cynthia Nixon’s activism is a core part of her identity. Her focus on education and LGBTQ+ rights has made her a prominent voice in New York and national politics, even after her 2018 gubernatorial run.
- Fashion and Literature: Sarah Jessica Parker’s influence extends from her fashion campaigns (UGG, Victoria's Secret) to her serious role as a judge for the 2025 Booker Prize, bridging the gap between pop culture and high art.
The current status of the Sex and the City actors in 2025 is a complex tapestry of professional commitment to And Just Like That..., high-profile individual career moves, and deep involvement in social and political causes. From SJP's literary authority to Kim Cattrall's firm refusal to look back, the stars continue to define and redefine their legacies, proving that life in and out of the city is never dull.
