‘And Just Like That’ Season 3: Carrie Bradshaw’s next Chapter Unfolds
Updated may 29, 2025
Season three of And Just like That, Michael Patrick King’s continuation of the Sex and the
City saga, finds Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, still connected with Aidan (John
Corbett) despite their five-year plan. Premiering May 29 on HBO Max, the new season delves into their
long-distance relationship, raising questions about Aidan’s parenting and Carrie’s quest for freedom.
While the initial episodes heavily focus on Aidan, the series shifts gears mid-season, introducing a new
romantic interest for Carrie and exploring the dynamics between her and Miranda, played by Cynthia nixon. The
show, though, frequently enough keeps the core trio—Parker, Nixon, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte—separated, missing
opportunities to capitalize on their established chemistry.
Miranda’s journey involves navigating life as a divorced lesbian, while Charlotte grapples with family
pressures and unexpected challenges. Davis brings humanity to Charlotte’s tightly wound character, a consistent
achievement since the original series.
The series also continues to develop the characters of Seema, played by Sarita Choudhury, and Lisa Todd
Wexley, portrayed by Nicole Ari Parker. Seema takes on a role reminiscent of Samantha, though without the
explicit content, while Lisa’s storyline remains somewhat disconnected from the main narrative.
Despite occasional comedic missteps, the season remains engaging for devoted fans. However,the show’s
portrayal of wealth feels increasingly out of touch with current realities,making it harder to fully escape
into their world.
What’s next
As season three progresses,viewers can anticipate further exploration of Carrie’s romantic prospects and the
evolving dynamics within the core group,even as the show attempts to balance escapism with the realities of
modern life.
