And Just Like That Returns for Third Season Across US, UK

The third season of the Sex and the City spin-off, And Just Like That..., premieres on May 29 in the US and May 30 in the UK, featuring Carrie Bradshaw's return to the dating scene with a new romantic interest, her grouchy British neighbor, while continuing her long-distance relationship with Aidan. After mixed reception in the first two seasons, the show has reportedly found its rhythm in season three by focusing on the complexities of womanhood in their 50s, addressing themes such as managing relationships, family, and personal growth, and moving away from earlier heavy social justice themes. Critics have noted a return to the series' original charm with more humor, sex, fashion, and friendship dynamics, while still acknowledging some implausible plotlines like Carrie's city lifestyle clashing with rural life. Despite some backlash about the show's 'wokeness' and tonal shifts, many fans appreciate the renewed focus on the core friendships and the familiar character traits of Carrie and her circle. The series continues to explore modern relationships and identities, including a new romance for Miranda with a BBC producer, broadening its narrative scope. Overall, season three is seen as a revitalization that balances nostalgia with contemporary storytelling, appealing to long-time fans and new viewers alike.
