Guest Stars: Rosie O’Donnell and Patti LuPone
Season 3 features two notable guest stars. Rosie O’Donnell appears as a nun whom Miranda dates in the premiere episode. The unlikely pairing provides some of the season’s most unexpected moments.
Patti LuPone also makes her debut in Season 3. The Tony Award winner plays Gia, the mother of Giuseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi), Anthony’s partner. LuPone adopts an Italian accent for the role and does not sugarcoat her opinions about her son’s relationship.
Is Kim Cattrall Returning as Samantha Jones?
The short answer is no. Kim Cattrall confirmed in July 2024 that she will not return as Samantha Jones for Season 3. After rumours circulated that Cattrall was negotiating a return, she set the record straight on X. “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not,” she wrote. Fans hoping for a full Samantha comeback will be disappointed. However, the character remains alive and well in London, as referenced in the show.
Carrie and Aidan’s Long-Distance Romance
Season 2 ended with Aidan asking Carrie to wait five years for him. He needed time to focus on being a primary parent to his youngest child. Season 3 picks up with the couple navigating a long-distance romance. They exchange handwritten postcards. They dabble in phone sex (Carrie famously fakes an orgasm during one call). The season explores whether their love can survive the distance and the waiting.
Carrie also begins writing a fiction novel this season. This new creative pursuit adds another layer to her journey.
Harry’s Cancer Diagnosis: A Heavy Storyline for Charlotte
One of the season’s most dramatic developments involves Charlotte and Harry. In the 26 June episode, Harry reveals to Charlotte that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. While his form of the disease has a 98 per cent survival rate, Harry asks Charlotte to keep the news private. The anxiety of keeping such a secret proves difficult for her to handle.
Executive producer Michael Patrick King explained the intention behind the storyline. “Charlotte has been the grounded support for everyone for the last two years, so we knew it was time for her to need support,” he said.
Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte, was relieved by the storyline. “I knew something would happen. We couldn’t just go on. It could have been worse — at least I didn’t have to cheat on him. That would be so out of character,” she told Variety.
Davis also noted that the story has a “comedic element” while remaining “true to life”.
Miranda and Seema: Single and Dating
Season 3 follows Miranda and Seema as they navigate single life. Miranda dates a nun played by Rosie O’Donnell in a memorable cameo. The episode also solidifies Miranda and Seema as independent women exploring the dating scene.
Filming Locations: Where Was Season 3 Shot?
As always, New York City plays a starring role in And Just Like That. Season 3 filmed at numerous iconic locations across the city.
Carrie’s New Home: 3 Gramercy Park West
Carrie moves to a stunning red-brick Greek Revival townhouse facing Gramercy Park for Season 3. The exterior is real, ornate and historic. While the park itself is key-access only, fans can admire the building from its iron fence.
Charlotte’s Apartment: 930 Park Avenue
Charlotte’s Park Avenue co-op remains unchanged. The elegant address has been with the franchise since the early Sex and the City years.

Executive Producer on Harry’s Fate
Fans worried about Harry’s fate can breathe a sigh of relief. Executive producer Michael Patrick King addressed the cancer storyline directly. “Do you think I’m going to kill Harry?” he quipped. The storyline serves to show a different side of Charlotte. She must keep Harry’s secret while managing the toll it takes on her own wellbeing. “She ends up not taking care of herself,” Davis explained.
Critical Reception and Fan Reactions
The season has received mixed reviews from critics but strong engagement from fans. The Harry cancer storyline has drawn particular attention. Many viewers appreciate the show tackling real-life health issues. Rosie O’Donnell’s cameo as a nun has been a highlight for many fans. The unexpected pairing of Miranda with a woman of faith provides comedic relief amid heavier storylines.
