Hold onto your cosmos! It’s official: Karen Pittman, aka the brainy and beautiful Dr. Nya Wallace from And Just Like That…, won’t be gracing our screens for the show’s third season. Cue the dramatic gasps and the pouring of cosmopolitans in sorrow.
You might remember Karen stealing scenes and hearts alike in the first two seasons of the Sex and the City spinoff series. But alas, the TV deities have conspired against us, and Karen’s presence in season 3 has been axed faster than a pair of discounted Manolos at a sample sale.
What’s the tea, you ask? Well, it seems Karen had her hands full with another gig—she was moonlighting on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show while juggling her duties as the brilliant Dr. Nya. Talk about multitasking! But alas, even the most talented of actresses can’t be in two places at once, much to our dismay.
In a twist worthy of a soap opera plotline, it was confirmed on a dark, dark Friday (March 22) that Karen and her character have been given the pink slip from season 3. Deadline spilled the tea, revealing that a pesky scheduling conflict was to blame for Karen’s sudden disappearance from our screens.
Originally, Karen was all set to strut her stuff in season 3, but between her commitments to The Morning Show and her shiny new role in Netflix’s upcoming series Forever, it became crystal clear that trying to wrangle three shows at once was like trying to walk in stilettos after one too many cosmos—simply impossible.
A spokesperson for Max, the streaming platform behind And Just Like That…, poured one out for Karen and Nya, expressing their heartfelt sorrow at bidding adieu to such a dynamic duo. They lamented the cruel realities of production schedules, confirming that scheduling conflicts had forced their hand in bidding farewell to our beloved Nya.
But fear not, for all hope is not lost! While we may shed a tear for Karen’s absence in season 3, we’ll be cheering her on from the sidelines as she slays in her other endeavors. After all, a talent like hers deserves nothing less than a standing ovation.
So, mark your calendars and stock up on tissues, because And Just Like That… season 3 is still slated to grace our screens in 2025. And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, there’ll be a surprise cameo from Dr. Nya herself, swooping in to steal the show once more. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
