The second season of the Sex and the City revival, titled And Just Like That, has proven to be an immense success. Fans are eager for updates about season 3, and it promises to bring even more excitement as Carrie and her friends navigate their lives. Initially conceived as a miniseries, the revival was renewed for a second season due to its popularity, making the continuation of Sex and the City a significant part of the franchise. The series features Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they experience the complexities of life in New York City in their 50s, tackling themes of grief, friendship, sexuality, and gender identity.
From the outset, And Just Like That has taken a different direction compared to the original Sex and the City. The series opened with the shocking death of Carrie’s primary love interest, Mr. Big (Chris Noth), and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) was not included in the revival due to her refusal to return. Despite mixed reviews, the viewership of AJLT surpassed expectations, making it the most-streamed program on HBO Max at its peak. Consequently, season 3 is already in the works, hinting that Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte will continue to face new challenges in love, loss, and personal growth.

Fans Should Expect a Long Wait for the New Season
The Hollywood strikes are the primary reason for the production delay, as many shows including And Just Like That faced work stoppages during this period.
Unfortunately for the devoted fans of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and their friends, the revival series will not return to Max until 2025. The gap between the first and second seasons was around 16 months, and such delays are not uncommon in television production. The Hollywood strikes, which included the WGA strike from May to September 2023 and the SAG-AFTRA strike from July to November 2023, have caused significant disruptions in the industry as writers and actors advocated for fair working conditions and compensation.
The Hollywood strikes involved the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), where many writers and actors demanded better pay and working conditions.
