Mehcad Brooks talks sex scenes before 'And Just Like That' Season 3 debut
He's in an empire state of mind. Mehcad Brooks, who has been starring on 'Law & Order' since 2022, is also joining another iconic New York show: the 'Sex and the City' universe. The spinoff series 'And Just Like That' returns for Season 3, premiering Thursday, May 29 on Max. Brooks, 44, is among the new cast members this season.

I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this way,' the 'Desperate Housewives' alum added. 'She's just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.' 'She's very much her own person, but it's like if you were to mix Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn together.' 'And Just Like That' follows the 'Sex and the City' friends Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they navigate shifting from having glamorous lives in their 30s (in the original show, which ran from 1998 to 2004) to life in their 50s now. 7 Nicole Ari Parker in 'And Just Like That.'

The ladies have also made some new friends in 'And Just Like That,' including comedian Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez, who isn't returning for Season 3), real estate broker Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury), law professor Dr. Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman, who isn't returning for Season 3 either) and documentarian and mom Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker). 7 Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon in 'And Just Like That' Season 3. MAX Brooks explained that his character, Marion Odin, 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.'

Virginia Sherwood/NBC About his relationship with Lisa, who is married, he explained, 'They are workmates and colleagues. Things get humorously cloudy.' Brooks declined to say if his character has intimate scenes on the show, but since it's a spinoff of 'Sex and the City,' it often features R-rated action. Some actors, like Penn Badgley, have publicly stated their reluctance to do such scenes. 7 Mehcad Brooks as Detective Jalen Shaw, Maura Tierney as Lieutenant Jessica Brady, Reid Scott as Detective Vincent Riley, Hugh Dancy as A.D.A.

'That's part of a fully developed life – having intimacy.' He added, 'That doesn't scare me at all.'

Plus, we've got double doses of The Rookie, Overcompensating, Andor and Survivor. Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves! (With contributions from Nick Caruso, Charlie Mason, Matt Webb Mitovich, Dave Nemetz, Kimberly Roots and Ryan Schwartz) 'Hey, kiddo.' Joel (Pedro Pascal) unexpectedly pops up (via flashback) just when we needed him most 'God, stalkers must wake up every day and thank God that a bunch of nerds invented this thing called 'social media.'' 'Yeah, it definitely makes it easier for them, right?' Riley (Reid Scott) and Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) make a really great case for all of us getting off the apps 'Plumage is some sort of social media app that has a hidden encrypted messaging feature.' 'Yep. Should have known – that app can't tell the difference between a blue warbler and a house finch.' And just like that, we and Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) learn a bit more about Moran (Taylor Anthony Miller) 'Love the new piercing.' 'Got it my last day abroad. God, it felt so good to be in a totally foreign place. You would've loved Montreal.' Mimi (Julia Shiplett) reminisces on the unfamiliar terrain of… Canada 'You don't even know these bitches and you're gonna give them a ticket over your roomie? I'm like your one real friend.' 'I have other friends… These girls, these girls are my future sisters.' 'They're your sisters? Great, how about you buy a pair of pants and send it around? You're pissing me off!' Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is collateral damage in Hailee's (Holmes) face-off with Carmen (Wally Baram) over a Charli XCX ticket 'Well, you set a goal and work toward it. Keep your eyes on the prize, ladies.' When Serena railroads her into giving an inspirational speech about forgiveness, Rita (Amanda Brugel) slyly sends the murder-plotting handmaids a timely message 'They're playing our song… You know, you're lucky. I was maybe going to sing it.' Avery (played by Broadway star Phillipa Soo) is such a tease! 'I am going to be very, very, very mad if it's another arm-based challenge… I work so hard on these. I want to use legs. Look at these things. These things are incredible! They should be in a museum. Museum-worthy. Didn't get to use them once? Come on, bro.' Shauhin apparently never skips leg day, but unfortunately, all that work hasn't been put to good use in Season 48 'This should be the fun part of Survivor. You're acting like I s—t in your pancakes.' Well, that's an image we'll never get out of our heads, Shauhin 'Look at this f—king view. It literally looks like Monet.' 'I've never been to Monet, but it is gorgeous.' Aw, Luke doesn't seem to realize that Monet is a 'who' and not a 'where' 'I'm turned on by intelligence. Like, when I was a little kid, Einstein was a guy I thought was so sexy.' One of Nathan Fielder's actors explains what she finds attractive in a man (wild white hair be damned) 'From the moment I met you, it made my world feel whole. I changed my career. I moved continents because being without you felt impossible. But sometimes what we think is impossible… it's just failure of imagination. There is no invisible force keeping us together. It was a choice — picking you every time — and I'm not sure I want to make that choice again.' 'You're giving up on us?' 'I'm choosing me.' And so it ends at last for Teddy (Kim Raver) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) 'Oh my God.' 'Well, think of it this way: At least you already know I'm good. Right?' Simone (Alexis Floyd) discovers that the new class of interns includes her one-night stand (Trevor Jackson) 'I bet every pair of glasses I own that this is not going to be a cute cat video.' Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) prepares to open The Zookeeper's encrypted file 'Good morning!' 'For you. For me, it's wine o'clock.' That first night shift did a real number on Sergeant Chen (Melissa O'Neil) 'You know, you could have just taken a photo of the tattoo.' Nolan (Nathan Fillion) is up in arms over Oscar's decision to amputate a friend 'No shade, I never pictured you as a poker-playing type.' 'Funny, I never thought you'd be the type to play a backstabbing heifer — yet here we are.' We've always liked Mona (Karan Kendrick), but after watching her read Eva (Ambyr Michelle) for filth, we're officially in love 'You're finished.' 'And you're too late. The rebellion isn't here anymore. It's flown away. It's everywhere now. There's a whole galaxy out there waiting to disgust you.' Dedra (Denise Gough) corners 'Axis' (Stellan Skarsgård) a little too late 'Even discounting the volume of revnog ingested, the chances of you making a bid of that scale are not statistically measurable.' '[Cassian to Melshi] Be careful, he's trying to droid you.' ''Droid you'?' K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk) doesn't care to be profiled! 'You have a brain tumor?' 'Yeah. Tina Tumor.' 'It was either that or Justin Tumorlake.' 'I'm sorry, there is a brain tumor pun runner that I'm not a part of?' 'We have our own private jokes now.' 'Tumor Willis.' 'Too obscure.' 'Oh, OK. Well I'll think of something… tumor or later.' Franklin (Kevin Daniels) is beside himself when he learns that Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) have their own inside jokes 'Kenzo is also whats considered a soshoku-kei danshi — an herbivore man. Someone who consciously disengages from sex and romantic relationships.' ''Herbivore man.' Wow, what a term. You guys really nailed it on that one.' Tyler (Jay Hayden) and the Fly Team get the 411 on their Japanese suspect 'I picked the wrong day to clear out my locker, huh?' Oakland-bound Gamble (Annie Ilonzeh) finds herself in the middle of an armed assault on HQ Best of TVLine Young Sheldon Easter Eggs: Every Nod to The Big Bang Theory (and Every Future Reveal) Across 7 Seasons Weirdest TV Crossovers: Always Sunny Meets Abbott, Family Guy vs. Simpsons, Nine-Nine Recruits New Girl and More ER Turns 30: See the Original County General Crew, Then and Now
