And Just Like That Won’t Return With Season 3 Until 2025
Sex won’t resume in a certain city for another year — at least.
In a new promo touting its upcoming programming, Max revealed that Season 3 of And Just Like That… will not debut until 2025. The spot (embedded below) also confirmed previously announced 2025 premieres for HBO’s Euphoria, The White Lotus and The Last of Us.
The now-resolved actors’ and writers’ strikes are the driving forces behind the myriad delays.
Of course, enduring a long wait between seasons is nothing new for fans of the Sex and the City sequel series. There was a 15-month gap between the Season 1 finale (which was released Feb. 3, 2022) and the Season 2 premiere (which dropped June 22, 2023).
In the Season 2 finale (read our recap here), Aidan informed Carrie that he would be staying in Virginia to take care of his sons instead of moving in with her in New York. He did ask her to give him another chance, though — in five years, when his kids are grown.
Explaining how he settled on this latest twist in Carrie and Aidan’s love story, showrunner Michael Patrick King told our sister pub Variety back in August, “I knew that she couldn’t hurt him again. For the audience and for Carrie’s own thought process, she couldn’t… So we knew that we needed something to break them up.”
King went on to tease that duo’s soft-breakup “gives us more story” in Season 3, adding, “It gives us an open end. It gives us a complicated problem… how Carrie Bradshaw finds her way through this to love.” He also notes that Carrie and Aidan’s final scene “wasn’t a goodbye. That was a ‘see ya sometime.’ They were still very much connected at the end.”
Are you annoyed you have to wait more than a year for the next season of And Just Like That…? Watch Max’s 2024 promo below, then sound off in Comments.
Annoyed yes. Surprised no.
Max is going to have trouble convincing people to pay with the lack of content in 2024.
No. I’m just glad it’s returning.
Remember when they managed to make 18 episodes a year? Even if they were half the length, that’s 9 a year. Streaming now can only deliver 8-10 episodes every 2 years. And prices are raised all the time. What a sad state of affairs.
Although they did calm down on the preaching a bit it’s still annoying. Won’t be missed off the schedule.
Avid viewer of SATC but haven’t seen one episode of AJLT because HBO refuses to run it on HBO. Thanks for nothing, HBO. I prefer to tape and watch later but HBO apparently doesn’t approve.
Hopefully without Che Diaz.
