And Just Like That, the friendship group we fell in love with in Sex and The City is back on our screens – and while they’re older, they’re not necessarily wiser when it comes to relationships and life.

Now embracing life in their 50s, the girl gang – Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte – need each other more than ever as major life events threaten to shake their foundations.

With loves lost and found along the way, fans have been desperate to know what they got up to – and 25 years later, the group are still as connecting as ever.

But fans also have a lot of questions, both about the show and beyond – which is where we come in.

Here’s all the answers to the big questions about And Just Like That…

The Sex and The City group just isn’t complete without Samantha Jones – PR extraordinaire and sex-positive icon.

Unfortunately, actress Kim Cattrall declined the opportunity to return to the series.

However, that doesn’t mean Samantha isn’t there in spirit, and across the show has been seen texting Carrie and arranging to meet up with her off-screen.

In season one, it was revealed that Samantha and Carrie fell out when Carrie decided to let her go as a publicist, and shortly after that she moved to London and away from her beloved Manhattan.

However, when Big died, she made sure to send flowers, which proved to be an olive branch for their friendship.

At the end of the season, Carrie went to Paris to scatter Big’s ashes, and texted Samantha for a meet up in London while she was in Europe.

During the season two finale, we got a short and brief scene with Samantha, who was going to come to the last supper at Carrie’s apartment before her flight was cancelled.

Seen in the back of her cab as she made her way home, she was seen apologising to Carrie for missing it, before saying goodbye to the apartment over the phone.

Kim Cattrall has confirmed though that this would be a one-off, and she has no intention of returning to the character again anytime soon.

In season three, when new British neighbour, brooding author Duncan, gets Carrie’s attention, she messaged Samantha to see what she knew about him.

Samantha tells him that she’s heard he’s “a lot of fun”.

Over the course of the three seasons to date, there have been multiple women brought into the fold of the core group – with some becoming more permanent fixtures over time.

These are:

• Seema Patel (played by Sarita Choudhury) – a career-minded real estate broker who befriends Carrie. She has a great radar for red flags and doesn’t accept anything but the best in life, especially when it comes to men.
• Lisa Todd Wexley (played by Nicole Ari Parker) – a documentary filmmaker who has been married to husband Herbert for 20 years. She has two children, who go to school with Charlotte’s daughters.
• Lily Goldenblatt (played by Cathy Ang) – Harry and Charlotte’s oldest daughter, who is desperate to forge her own identity. She loves theatre and creating music.
• Rock Goldenblatt (played by Alexa Swinton) – Harry and Charlotte’s second child, who comes out as non-binary in season one.

Other key new characters who have appeared are:

• Che Diaz (played by Sara Ramirez, seasons one and two) – a non-binary stand-up comedian who causes Miranda to question her sexuality.
• Nya Wallace (played by Karen Pittman, seasons one and two) – a professor at Columbia Law School who taught Miranda’s class. Her long-term relationship with husband Andre begins to collapse as the series progresses.

And Just Like That has had no shortage of A-list stars and celebrities making cameos in the life of Carrie and the girls.

So far, this has included:

• Jonathan Groff (Glee, A Nice Indian Boy)
• Hari Nef (The Idol, Barbie)
• Rosie O’Donnell (A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle)
• Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars, Batman)
• Tony Danza (Taxi, Who’s The Boss?)
• Drew Barrymore (Charlie’s Angels, The Drew Barrymore Show)
• Sam Smith (Singer)
• Gary Dourdan (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Alien: Resurrection)
• Cheri Oteri (Saturday Night Live, Inside Job)
• Patti LuPone (Agatha All Along, American Horror Story)
• Mehcad Brooks (Law & Order, Supergirl)
• Jonathan Cake (Desperate Housewives, Protection)

On 1 August 2025, showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King confirmed that And Just Like That... would conclude with its third season. In his statement, he said:

“And just like that... the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and The City universe is coming to an end. While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That... season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12. SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn’t want to the word ‘final’ to overshadow the fun of watching this season. It’s with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.”

If you’re already a Sky subscriber, you will get complete continuity of the service at no extra cost via the Max app. The new deal means Sky and NOW customers benefit from more content through bundled access to the streaming service that will exclusively feature new HBO Original and Max Original shows and more.

And in the case of And Just Like That... and a range of other series, as part of Sky’s new deal with HBO, customers will continue to find shows such as House of the Dragon, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us, and any new series aired before the end of 2025, on Sky Atlantic and through Sky’s On Demand service.

Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios and chief content officer of Sky, said: “What’s really good about the deal that we struck is that if you’re a Sky subscriber, at no additional cost, you will have access to the Max app within your Sky platform. So if you’re already a Sky subscriber, you have complete continuity of service. Actually, you probably have more because Max will have more content than what we have today with the HBO shows and the Warner Bros. films.

“It’s going to be completely seamless for those customers, so you’ll have a really rich experience, and that’s at no additional cost.

“Any show that we’ve had historically on our channels you’ll continue to get on the channels, including future seasons of The Last of Us and The White Lotus.”
