And Just Like That Season 3 is coming in hot—and by “hot,” we mean Patti LuPone-level hot. Yes, Broadway royalty herself is officially strutting into the Max series, and we’re betting she’s bringing more drama than Miranda’s move to Los Angeles.
Filming wrapped in November 2024 (probably after a whirlwind of chic trench coats and existential crises), and the new episodes are expected to land sometime this year—assuming Carrie doesn’t get lost in another closet reorganization.
But here’s the juicy bit. On this very fine day of January 3, three new cast members were announced, and you’d better believe it includes the Patti LuPone. The news came straight from executive producer Michael Patrick King, who spilled the tea in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Now, King didn’t exactly hand us a playbill with Patti’s role outlined, but he did tease that she’ll have “an arc on our show this season.” Translation? She’s not just dropping by to judge Carrie’s shoe collection—she’s here to stay.
Joining Patti in this glittering lineup is Rosemarie DeWitt, reprising her role as Aidan’s ex-wife Kathy. (Yes, that Kathy, who probably has opinions about Carrie’s latest life choices.) And if that’s not enough, Kristen Schaal is also stepping into the mix. Kristen Schaal, people! Prepare for comedy gold and possibly some offbeat chaos because Kristen never misses.
King hinted at a season full of change and reinvention. “It’s a lot of ‘new’ within the familiar,” he shared. Translation: Even Miranda is getting a new apartment. Yes, Miranda—queen of practicality—is apparently playing musical chairs with real estate now.
“It’s more than Carrie that has a new apartment,” King added, clearly on a roll. “We feel there’s a lot of newness in the world right now.” Newness, Michael? Sure, but please don’t touch Samantha’s WhatsApp messages again.
Patti LuPone, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Kristen Schaal are here to shake things up. Buckle up because this season promises fresh drama, fabulous outfits, and at least one scene where Carrie says something wildly impractical. Stay tuned! 🍸
