‘And Just Like That’ returns with more drama and less Samantha

Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back for a chaotic summer in New York, but the big question remains: where is Samantha?

The third season of And Just Like That premieres this 29th of May, promising a summer full of emotions, fashion, and new beginnings. Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte return to Manhattan, ready to face the challenges of midlife with their classic New York style. However, the notable absence continues to be Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, whose departure has left a gap that’s hard to fill for fans.

Despite a brief phone appearance in the previous season, Cattrall has made it clear she has no plans to return to the series. In the meantime, the show continues to evolve, introducing characters such as Lisa Todd Wexley and Seema Patel, who have gained prominence and brought a fresh dynamic to the group.

The trailer teases intense storylines: Miranda faces a new chapter following her breakup with Che, Charlotte deals with her daughter Lily’s teenage years, and Carrie explores a shift in her career towards romantic literature with a touch of fantasy. Additionally, Aidan’s return hints at possible romantic complications.

While Samantha’s return still seems unlikely, the series continues to focus on authentic storytelling, exploring themes such as personal reinvention, mature love, and, of course, the power of female friendship.
