Sarah Jessica Parker has teased that the upcoming series of 'And Just Like That...' features some "new male" characters.
The 59-year-old actress is returning as Carrie Bradshaw for a third instalment of the 'Sex and the City' reboot and revealed fans can expect some "additional characters" that "rightfully find a real home" on the show.
Speaking at Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (11.12.24), she spilled: "Carrie [Bradshaw] has a wonderful storyline. The story takes some big swings, and we fold some big ideas into those big swings. Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men."
Sarah Jessica teased: "There are so many interesting stories with additional characters that rightfully find a real home."
At the end of season two, Carrie's lover Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) departed New York City to return to Virginia to be there for his son Wyatt after he asked her to wait five years for them to be together.
Kim Cattrall, 68, who plays sex-crazed Samantha Jones, also made a cameo, but is not expected to return.
However, Kristin Davis (Charlotte), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda), Nicole Ari Parker (Lisa), Mario Cantone (Anthony), Sarita Choudhury (Seema), and Katerina Tannenbaum (Lisette) are all confirmed to be reprising their respective roles.
One of the new additions is comedian Rosie O'Donnell.
The 62-year-old actress is set to play a new character called Mary.
Rosie revealed the news on Instagram in May by posting a photo of the script, which she captioned: “Here comes mary #andjustlikethat @hbo. (sic)"
The script she posted revealed Rosie will appear in the third season’s premiere, titled ‘Outlook Good’.
It sparked speculation Rosie will be playing the love interest of Miranda as Sara Ramirez’s divisive character Che Diaz, who she dated, is not returning.
Miranda came out as queer during the first season of ‘And Just Like That...’.
Reports surfaced Sara would no longer be on the show after speculation the non-binary actor had been fired after sharing pro-Palestinian Instagram posts.
They said at the time: “While they give awards away, casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians in Gaza to ensure they will not work again.
“While they lift up some of their own clients who have spoken up against this genocide, they are firing and letting others who have smaller platforms go.
“It’s wild how performative so many in Hollywood are. Even more performative than the last character I played.”
Despite the reports over her sacking, production sources told the Daily Mail the controversial character was always supposed to exit the show after its first two runs.
