Miranda sleeps with virgin nun Rosie O'Donnell on 'And Just Like That' Season 3 premiere
And just like that, Miranda Hobbes has found a new love interest. After Season 2 of 'And Just Like That…' saw the romance between Cynthia Nixon's character and Sara Ramirez's Che Diaz fizzle out, Season 3, which premiered on Thursday, started off with bang for the New York City master's student. Season 3 episode 1, titled 'Outlook Good,' featured a guest appearance from Rosie O'Donnell, 63, who played a virgin nun named Mary. The pair meet at a lesbian bar, before heading back to Mary's hotel room where they then have sex. Advertisement 7 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO Mary is visiting the Big Apple from 'a small town outside of Winnipeg, Dunnottar,' and works for 'Compassion of the Unhoused.' Although she never discloses to Miranda that she is in fact a nun. Advertisement Later in the episode, Mary and Miranda wake up in bed, with the nun telling her counterpart: 'I've never experienced anything like that. Oh, you are really, really something.' 7 Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO 'It felt so, I don't know, electric, and yet, still so natural,' Mary continues. 'I never dreamed my first time could be both those things.' After hearing those details, Miranda turns to Mary and inquires: 'First time? So then, this was your first time with a woman?' to which her new friend shockingly replies, 'This is my first time with anyone. I'm a virgin. Well, I was a virgin.' Advertisement 'Yes,' she adds, 'I'm a nun.' 7 Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO Miranda later tells Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) what went down. 'In my defense, Mary never mentioned she was a nun,' the former lawyer stated. 'And she was dressed like a regular lesbian… In fact, she didn't mention it until right after she told me she was a virgin.' Advertisement 'So, you deflowered the Virgin Mary?' Carrie responded. Carrie had her own wild sex story herself. In one cringey scene, she and long distance boyfriend Aidan (John Corbett) have phone sex. As he sits in his car in Virginia, she is distracted by her cat back in Manhattan. And she inevitably gets interrupted when Aidan accidentally hits the horn of his vehicle. 'My goodness,' Carrie says. Later on, over cocktails, Carrie admits that she faked it. 'And now I feel dishonest,' she sighed. 7 Cynthia Nixon and Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That..' HBO During the episode, Mary continues to text Miranda to meet up until Miranda finally shuts it down for good. After O'Donnell's cameo, fans took to social media to react to her guest star role alongside Nixon, 59. One social media user wrote on X, 'omfg, miranda finally comes out as a lesbian and her first pickup is rosie o'donnell as a nun, christ, wut,' while a second chimed in, 'Giiiiiirl, Miranda and Rosie O'Donnell was not in my bingo card.' A third person added, 'Really Rosie O'Donell!!!' Advertisement 'I was -not- expecting to see Rosie O'Donnell pop up!' exclaimed another. Nixon previously got candid about Miranda's life post-breakup with Che. 7 Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon from the series 'And Just Like That.' AP 'One of the things that it meant was that Miranda was single again,' she told E! News on Wednesday. 'And that the tensions between Miranda and Che—and also Miranda and Steve—had been quelled and quieted.' Advertisement 'Just speaking for Miranda,' Nixon explained, 'it meant that she was setting out on this new dating world having decided she wanted to date women and non-binary people, but not really quite knowing how to go about that.' Season 3 of the 'Sex and the City' spinoff, which also stars Kristin Davis, Nicole Ari Parker and Sarita Choudhury, will see a slew of guest stars, including Patti LuPone, Logan Marshall Green and 'Law & Order' actor Mehcad Brooks. 7 Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks, 44, will have his own love story play out while working opposite Parker, 54. Advertisement He exclusively told The Post about joining the series, 'The part of my personality that will do anything for a laugh that has no place on 'Law & Order,' I get to do it [on this show].' 'One of the highlights of my career is that I get to act across from Nicole Ari Parker,' the star gushed. 'I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this way.' Brooks added, 'She's just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.' Sharing details about his character, Marion Odin, the 'Desperate Housewives' alum said he is 'an award-winning editor of films and documentaries and kind of a spiritual guy. He's funny and goofy and just the kind of guy who is really helpful and earnest but also will do anything for a laugh.' Advertisement 7 Season 3 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks teased: 'That's kind of who I am, anyway.' Without giving too much away, the actor did note that his relationship with Parker's Lisa — who is married — gets 'humorously cloudy.'

‘And Just Like That…' stars share how the show finds its voice in embracing this messy truth in season 3
'She's messy. It can be messy. But it's real.' So says Cynthia Nixon — not just of Miranda Hobbes, the character she's embodied for almost three decades, but of the show itself. 'And Just Like That…', HBO's 'Sex and the City' revival, has come into its own in season three: less preoccupied with pleasing everyone, and more interested in telling the truth. Truth, in this case, looks like complexity. Women in their fifties with evolving identities. 8 (L-R) Nicole Ari Parker, Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Sarita Choudhury attend the 'And Just Like That' Season Three photocall at Hotel Napoleon on May 29, 2025, in Paris, France. Getty Images Not frozen in time, but changing, reckoning, reliving. Queerness that's joyful but not polished. Grief without melodrama. A pirate shirt with a bleach hole that somehow becomes a talisman of power. At its glittering European premiere this week, Nixon and costar Sarah Jessica Parker, flanked by Kristin Davis and Sarita Choudhury, spoke candidly with The Associated Press about how the show has evolved into something deeper, rawer, and more reflective of who they are now. A voice returns Season three marks the return of Carrie Bradshaw's iconic internal monologue — the voiceover that once defined 'Sex and the City.' That rhythmic intimacy is back, and not by accident. 'We've always loved the voiceover,' Parker said. 'It's a rhythm — it's part of the DNA.' For Parker, it mirrors Carrie's emotional clarity. 8 Cynthia Nixon, left, and Sarah Jessica Parker from the series 'And Just Like That.' AP The character who once floated through Manhattan chasing shoes and column deadlines is now grounded in reinvention, loss, and cautious hope. She's grown up and she's no longer hiding it. 'She doesn't burst into tears or stomp out of the room anymore,' Parker said. 'She asks smart, patient questions. That's not effort — that's just her nature now.' 'People seem surprised that she is mature,' Parker added. 'But that's just basic developmental stuff — hopefully, simply by living, we get better at things. It's not surprising. It's just real.' 8 'And Just Like That…', HBO's 'Sex and the City' revival, has come into its own in season three, according to reports. Craig Blankenhorn Warts and all If Carrie is the compass, Miranda is the seismic shift. Miranda's arc — which now includes a late-in-life queer awakening — may be the show's most radical contribution to television. And for Nixon, who publicly came out as queer while still playing a straight character in the original 'Sex and the City,' that evolution is deeply personal. 'There's never a 'too late' moment. Miranda comes to queerness at 55. That doesn't mean everything that came before was wrong. It just means this is her now. And it's messy. It can be messy. But it's real.' That embrace of imperfection lies at the core of Nixon's philosophy — and the show's power. On television, where characters linger in our lives for years, there's a unique intimacy and empathy that develops. 'Television puts someone in your living room, week after week. They're imperfect, they make you laugh, and eventually you say, 'I know that person. They're my friend.' That's more powerful than one mythic, perfect film. That's where the change happens.' That change includes how queerness is portrayed. Nixon recalled how earlier generations of LGBTQ+ characters were forced to be flawless, or two-dimensional, to justify their screen time. 'There was a time when gay people on screen had to be saints or martyrs,' she said. 'Now, we can be characters like Miranda, who've had rich, fulfilling heterosexual lives and now stumble upon queerness, and not in a tidy way. There's collateral damage. That's important.' That depth, Nixon said, comes not just from character, but from the format. Unlike film, which requires resolution in two hours, television lets people grow — and falter — in real time. And Miranda's transformation isn't just personal. It's political. 8 'There's never a 'too late' moment. Miranda comes to queerness at 55. That doesn't mean everything that came before was wrong. It just means this is her now. And it's messy. It can be messy. But it's real,' Nixon (pictured) said of her character. HBO In Season 3, she's seen retraining in human rights law, joining protest movements, and wrestling with systemic questions, mirroring Nixon's own off-screen life. In 2018, the actor ran for governor of New York on a progressive platform, bringing her activism directly into the public arena. That convergence isn't accidental, she says. 'On long-running shows, if the writers are smart, they start to weave in the actor,' Nixon said. 'When I started, Miranda and I were very different. But now we've grown closer. We're almost the same person — in temperament, in values.' 8 Season three marks the return of Carrie Bradshaw's iconic internal monologue — the voiceover that once defined 'Sex and the City,' done by Sarah Jessica Parker. HBO 8 'We've always loved the voiceover,' Parker said. 'It's a rhythm — it's part of the DNA.' MAX Season three narrows its scope, pulling focus back to the emotional cores of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. Several side characters are gone, including Che Diaz, and what remains is a cleaner, more character-driven story. 'I think one of the great things about our show is we show women in their 50s whose lives are very dramatic and dynamic,' Nixon said. 'You get to this age and there's a lot going on — if you choose to keep moving forward.' Friends, friction, and freedom Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte, noted that those life shifts come fast and often overlap. 'She really starts to unravel,' Davis said. 'But the joy is her friends are there.' Sarita Choudhury, who plays real estate powerhouse Seema, echoed that sense of late-blooming autonomy. 'She's feeling that, if you have your own business, your own apartment, your own way, you get to say what you want,' Choudhury said. 'There's power in that.' It's a subtle rebuke to the long-held media narrative that midlife is a decline. Not just fashion — declaration Fashion, as ever, is present — but now it feels more personal than aspirational. Parker described insisting on wearing a ripped vintage Vivienne Westwood shirt with a bleach hole in a key scene. 'It had to be in an important scene. It meant something,' she said. Even the show's iconic heels, still clacking through New York's brownstone-lined streets, feel louder this season. They're not just accessories. They're declarations. And yes, Carrie is writing again, though not her usual musings. A 'historical romance' project, mentioned only briefly on screen so far, hints at the show's comfort with poking fun at itself and its heroine's occasionally pretentious flair. 8 'Sex And The City' first aired in June 1998 on HBO.

WireImage If early reviews are right, it might be one of the season's most enjoyably ludicrous storylines. 'And Just Like That…' is a show that's learned to walk — loudly — into its next chapter. 'You're better today than you were ten years ago,' Parker said. 'That's not just Carrie — that's everyone.'

Will Steve Brady be back for ‘And Just Like That' Season 3? All the star-studded cast for its latest installment
'And Just Like That…' Season 3 is here with new characters and some familiar faces. Since Season 3 started filming around the city in May 2024, fans have been clutching their Manolo Blahniks, waiting to find out which beloved characters would not be returning to the popular 'Sex and the City' spinoff. After Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) were spotted filming a funeral scene back in June, speculation swirled that Miranda's estranged husband, Steve Brady (David Eigenberg), might be the person who died. Advertisement Here's what we know about who's returning and who's out for 'AJLT' Season 3. 16 (L-R) Evan Handler, Cynthia Nixon and David Eigenberg are seen filming 'And Just Like That…' GC Images 16 Cynthia Nixon and David Eigenberg. GC Images Advertisement Warning: spoilers below: Steve Brady 16 John Corbett, Sarah Jessica Parker and David Eigenberg are seen on the set of 'And Just Like That.' GC Images Eigenberg's beloved character has been part of the 'Sex and the City' franchise since his first appearance in Season 2 of the HBO show. The charming bartender, without a plan for the future, stole Miranda's heart despite the fierce attorney trying her damndest to push him away. Over the years, the pair married and welcomed a child: Brady Hobbes, a combination of both names. Advertisement Steve and Miranda's marriage saw rough times, with him admitting in the 2008 'Sex and the City: The Movie' that he had a one-night stand. Despite breaking up, she ultimately forgives her husband. However, the couple splits in Season 1 of 'AJLT,' allowing Miranda to go on a sexual quest, which is later fulfilled in a same-sex relationship. 16 Evan Handler (who plays Harry Goldenblatt), Cynthia Nixon and David Eigenberg. GC Images In January, Eigenberg was spotted filming a dinner scene with Nixon in Astoria, Queens, for 'AJLT,' confirming that his character will be featured in Season 3. Advertisement However, it didn't necessarily debunk the fan theory of Steve's possible death. That is, until the casting notice for the funeral made the rounds, revealing that production was looking for background actors to portray 'a row of ex-girlfriends' who would be featured in the scene, per Bustle. Despite stepping out of his marriage once, Steve's heart was always Miranda, so the exes mourning over his body wouldn't really make sense. It's still uncertain the extent of his return at this point — but Steve will be in Season 3. Che Diaz 16 Sara Ramirez filming 'And Just Like That.' Craig Blankenhorn Che Diaz was the character who grabbed Miranda's attention in Seasons 1 and 2 of 'AJLT.' The nonbinary comedian, played by Sara Ramirez, got mixed reviews from fans with their toxic yet charismatic energy. But in the sixth episode of Season 2, Che and Miranda called it quits after they realized their relentless fighting would never end. 16 Sara Ramirez and Cynthia Nixon in 'And Just Like That.' Advertisement The breakup left Che's future on the show unknown — until Ramirez (who is nonbinary in real life and uses they/them pronouns) took to Instagram to claim that their character was dropped from the show because 'casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians and Gaza to ensure they will not work again.' However, production sources later dispelled those allegations, telling the Daily Mail, 'Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the ceasefire. Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore. 'They were on the chopping block since last season. After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying. The storyline as a struggling comedian was a waste of airtime and Sara knew it.' Nya Wallace 16 Karen Pittman as Nya Wallace filming the spinoff series. Advertisement Miranda's college professor-turned-buddy Nya Wallace (played by Karen Pittman) will not be returning to Season 3. Unlike Ramirez, Pittman is out of the spinoff due to scheduling conflicts, as she is starring on Apple TV+'s 'The Morning Show' and the forthcoming Netflix series 'Forever.' Appearing in 17 out of the combined 22 episodes of Seasons 1 and 2, Max announced Pittman's shock departure in March. 'As we have thoroughly enjoyed working with this dynamic actress, so too have others. Due to her commitments to two other streamer series, it has become apparent that filming three shows at once isn't possible,' the streaming site's statement read. Advertisement 'Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavors.' Samantha Jones 16 Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones in her 'And Just Like That' cameo. Known for playing the feisty character Samantha Jones with a male-sized appetite for sex, Kim Cattrall, who once made the trio (Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte) a foursome, confirmed she will not be in Season 3 despite a brief cameo in the Season 2 finale. 'Aw that's so kind but I'm not,' Cattrall wrote on X in July 2024, responding to a claim that she'd be appearing on the next season of 'AJLT.' Advertisement Fans' prayers for Samantha's comeback were further dashed when the Season 3 trailer was released in April and did not feature the iconic character. At this point, it's Samantha, who? Mr. Big 16 Big (Chris Noth) and Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker). John James Preston, commonly known as 'Mr. Big' or just 'Big,' played by Chris Noth, was Carrie's longtime love in the TV series, the movies and 'AJLT,' but he was killed off in the first episode of the spinoff's Season 1 in 2021 after suffering a heart attack while riding a Peloton bike. While the show's writers had planned for Big to make a cameo in the finale, that was scrapped when several women came forward with sexual assault allegations against Noth. The actor denied the claims and was never charged with any crime. The 'AJLT' crew released a statement following the accusations. 'We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth,' the message posted to Instagram and signed by Parker, Nixon and Davis read. 'We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences,' they said. 'We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.' Needless to say, Mr. Big is dead for good. Willie Garson 16 Willie Garson, who played Stanford Blatch, sadly passed away in 2021 at 57. Carrie's gay best friend for the past several decades, Stanford Blatch, played by the lovable Willie Garson, will not be in Season 3, as the actor died from cancer in September 2021 at the age of 57. Stanford shot several scenes and was featured in Season 1, which began airing two months after his death, leaving producers the task of tying up the sad loose end for Garson's beloved character in the second season. Enter the plot twist. Instead of killing Stanford off, they turned him into a Shinto monk who left New York without warning to live his brand-new life. 'We didn't want Stanford to die,' Michael Patrick King, executive producer and creator of the series, said of the decision on the podcast 'And Just Like That. . .The Writers Room.' 'We wanted Willie to be alive, as Stanford, somewhere in the world.' Patti LuPone 16 Patti LuPone on the 'And Just Like That…' film set. GC Images Patti LuPone, a New York stable, joined the Season 3 cast of 'AJLT.' However, little is known about the legendary performer's part in the show, as the creator has kept the details close to his chest. King told Entertainment Weekly in January that LuPone will have 'an arc on our show this season,' but that's all he'd give up. Rosie O'Donnell 16 Rosie O'Donnell and Cynthia Nixon filming in Times Square. GC Images Comedian Rosie O'Donnell confirmed she had joined the cast in an Instagram post on May 1, 2024, sharing an image of her Episode 1 script. The photo revealed her character's name is Mary. In June 2024, O'Donnell got to work in front of the cameras in Times Square. Her character Mary was seen in the tourist trap in a 'Wicked' t-shirt with Miranda. Some speculate she might be Miranda's new love interest; however, one thing is clear — Mary's not a New Yorker. 'That is fair to say,' King shared of her character. 'That is not a cutting edge Carrie Bradshaw moment.' Cheri Oteri and Kristen Schaal 16 Kristin Davis and Kristen Schaal on the set of 'And Just Like That.' GC Images 'Saturday Night Live' alum Cheri Oteri and 'Bob's Burgers' star Kristen Schaal also joined the 'AJLT' Season 3 cast. Oteri was spotted shooting 'AJLT' in Lincoln Center Plaza in May 2024. While King didn't reveal much about their characters, he did share that comedy is a huge aspect of the newest installment — and, of course, they will be bringing the fashion. 'Yeah, they're different, and they're all uniquely special,' he shared of Oteri and Schaal. 'Everyone was up for fun. Everyone was excited to be dressed. Everybody's so excited to come on the show because they get to look a certain way that maybe they don't usually look. There's always a designer element to every character on the show, whether they're a designer character or not. They have a design to them.' Logan Marshall-Green, Mehcad Brooks and Jonathan Cake 16 Jonathan Cake and Sarah Jessica Parker filming Season 3. GC Images 16 Jonathan Cake and Sarah Jessica Parker filming Season 3. GC Images 16 Mehcad Brooks' character is said to fall for married Lisa Todd Wexley. Getty Images Rounding out the newbies are three hunks, likely to be someone in the cast's love interest. Logan Marshall-Green, known for playing Trey Atwood on 'The OC,' was seen leaving Carrie's new apartment and sharing a cute moment with her cat, leading many to believe that he might have the hots for the best-selling author. Mehcad Brooks from 'Law & Order' fame will also be featured in Season 3. He plays an 'award-winning editor' who falls for Nicole Ari Parker's character, Lisa Todd Wexley, which is a problem considering she's happily married. Finally, British actor Jonathan Cake from 'Desperate Housewives' was also seen filming a scene that sure looked like his character was getting cozy with Carrie, which could throw a wrench into her happily ever after with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett). 'And Just Like That' Season 3 airs on Thursday, May 29, at 9 p.m. ET on Max. New episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays until the finale on August 14.
