While Sex and the City is a beloved, ground-breaking show that fans still rewatch today. It’s sequel series, And Just Like That, is loved for different reasons. The series is so wacky and so distinct from the original, that it’s addictive in its own way—it’s hard not to tune in to find out what totally unexpected or unreasonable thing is going to happen next. (Plus, there’s still some great fashion to take in!) So, if you’re excited about the third season, you’re not alone, and if you’re already wondering if there is going to be a fourth, that’s understandable. Hell, at this point, let the story of Carrie Bradshaw continue on as long as possible.
Here’s what we know about the future of And Just Like That.
Is And Just Like That coming back for season 4?
As reported by Deadline, And Just Like That was renewed for a third season in August 2023, only a couple of days before the season 2 finale. At that time, the show was only renewed for one season, so there is no official announcement about a fourth season yet. The good news? If HBO Max follows a similar pattern when it comes to announcing the fourth season, we’ll find out very soon. Season 3 premieres on May 29, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the finale will air August 14. So, maybe we’ll get an announcement in August?
What would season 4 be about?
Love. Friendship. Aging. Family. New York City. Shoes. You know, the usual. It’s impossible to know at this point what the specific storylines would be, because season 3 isn’t over yet. I mean, season 2 ended with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) breaking up and making some sort of vague deal that they’d reunite after five years when his kids were grown up. Didn’t see that one coming, so anything can happen!
The third season focuses on Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Seema (Sarita Choudhury), and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker.) We know that Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and Nya (Karen Pittman) are not returning, so it seems unlikely that they’d be back for a potential fourth season. We also know that Dolly Wells and Sebastiano Pigazzi are returning after joining in season 2, so if their connections to Miranda and Anthony (Mario Cantone), respectively, continue on, maybe they’ll be back for season 4, too.
And while we got a glimpse of her in the season 2 finale, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) will not be back. Well, probably.
In July 2024, Cattrall responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) about her returning for season 3. She wrote, “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not” and added a kiss emoji. Fourth season’s a charm? Doubtful.
When would And Just Like That season 4 come out?
If there is a fourth season of And Just Like That, it’s hard to know when it will be released. There was a year-and-a-half gap between the first season and the second, and then there was a two-year break between the release of the second and the third seasons. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, there was a delay in production of season 3 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. So, unless there’s another delay, maybe season 4 would have a faster turnaround.
For now, take in all that season 3 has to offer, including Carrie becoming a fiction writer, flirtations with new love interests, and rats. Yes, rats. That’s new, huh?
