The Sex and the City franchise has been wildly popular for decades, and the spin-off show caters to both longtime fans as well as newcomers. The show’s creator Michael Patrick King said the new season will further explore the lives of the iconic characters.
He said that they are thrilled to spend more time in the Sex and the City universe and tell new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by amazing actors.
And Just Like That… has a meager 48% Rotten Tomatoes score, but the show consistently ranks as the most-watched series and the top original offering on Max. The renewal shows how characters like Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte appeal to even today’s generation.
What happened in Season 2 finale?
It was closing time for Season 2 but the ending was totally worth it, thanks to Kim Cattrall’s surprise cameo as Samantha Jones. The actress was previously not interested in reprising her iconic role from the franchise.
Her brief appearance in a phone call with Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw gave an extra sense of nostalgia to the episode. In fact, Kim’s return marked the 25th anniversary of the series. Fans are now excited to see more of her, even though it’s unlikely.
In the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That…, Carrie and Aidan’s rekindled romance comes to a standstill. After his son’s car accident, Aidan asks Carrie to wait five years. On the other hand, Miranda finds closure with her exes, while Charlotte balances work and family.

Now that And Just Like That… has been renewed for a third season, fans are curious about how the storyline will evolve. As expected, key cast members such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, will return in Season 3.

"This is as far as I'm going to go. I don't think I'll ever say goodbye to Samantha. She's like a lot of other characters that I've done over the years… She gave me so much, and I'm so appreciative of her." pic.twitter.com/S92EfuVSPM
