This is the definitive, most current look at the core SATC cast, their full biographies, and what they are doing right now, from major new roles to executive producer titles and the ongoing story of their complex reunion.

And Just Like That... Season 3: The New and Returning Cast Members
The sequel series has successfully blended the original core narrative with a new generation of characters, reflecting a more diverse and contemporary New York City. The upcoming Season 3, premiering in May 2025, is set to introduce even more faces while bringing back fan favorites.
The Returning Supporting Ensemble
The original series was always about more than just the four women, and AJLT continues that tradition with a robust supporting cast. Fan-favorite John Corbett returns as Carrie’s ex-fiancé, Aidan Shaw, whose storyline is a major focus following his Season 2 reunion with Carrie Bradshaw.
Other vital returning entities include:
- Mario Cantone as Anthony Marentino
- Sarita Choudhury as Seema Patel (Carrie’s new best friend/confidante)
- Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa Todd Wexley (Charlotte’s friend and documentarian)
- Evan Handler as Harry Goldenblatt (Charlotte’s husband)
- David Eigenberg as Steve Brady (Miranda’s ex-husband)
The return of these characters ensures that the storylines of Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York Goldenblatt, and Carrie Bradshaw continue to intersect with the familiar faces of their extended Manhattan circle.
The Fresh Faces of Season 3
To keep the narrative fresh and address new topical issues, the cast of And Just Like That... Season 3 is introducing a wave of high-profile actors and new characters. This injection of talent is key to expanding the show's topical authority beyond the original four friends.
Confirmed new cast members for the 2025 season include:
- Rosie O'Donnell
- Cheri Oteri
- Mehcad Brooks
- Jonathan Cake
- Kristen Schaal
- Logan Marshall-Green
The addition of these names, particularly O’Donnell and Oteri, signals a potential return to the sharp comedic elements that defined the original Sex and the City, promising a dynamic shift in the show's tone for the upcoming season.
The Samantha Jones Factor: Kim Cattrall’s Legacy and Future
No discussion of the Sex and the City cast is complete without addressing Kim Cattrall and her character, Samantha Jones. The long-standing, highly-publicized rift between Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, often referred to as the "SATC cast feud," defined the early seasons of AJLT.
Cattrall’s brief, but pivotal, cameo in the Season 2 finale was a major television event, offering a moment of closure for the character and a nod to the fans. Despite the massive reaction, Cattrall has firmly stated her focus is on other projects, like her new BBC drama, rather than a full return to the franchise. Her commitment to exploring new roles, coupled with her recent personal milestone of marrying Russell Thomas in 2025, highlights her successful career pivot.
The decision by showrunner Michael Patrick King to keep the character of Samantha Jones alive through text messages and brief appearances acknowledges her immense cultural impact. Samantha remains a powerful entity in the Sex and the City universe, demonstrating that the bond of the "Core Four" is irreplaceable, even if the actresses are pursuing separate professional paths.
The Cast’s Non-Manhattan Projects: Beyond Carrie’s Closet
While And Just Like That... is the main event, the cast members are busy executive producers and actresses with diverse projects that showcase their range and commitment to the industry in 2025.
Cynthia Nixon’s Double Life: Nixon has seamlessly transitioned between the modern, progressive Miranda Hobbes and the reserved, 19th-century Ada van Rhijn in the hit series The Gilded Age. This dual role perfectly encapsulates her ability to command different genres and historical periods, showcasing her depth as an actress outside of the SATC universe.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Producer Hat: SJP has increasingly taken on roles behind the camera. Her work as an Executive Producer on AJLT and the documentary The Librarians demonstrates her commitment to shaping content. Furthermore, speculation continues around her potential involvement in the upcoming Hocus Pocus 3, which would be a massive cinematic return to one of her other beloved franchises.
Kristin Davis’s New Ventures: Beyond her producer role, Kristin Davis is leveraging her platform with a new podcast, allowing her to connect with fans on a more personal level and discuss topics outside of Charlotte's picturesque life. This move mirrors the evolving landscape of celebrity engagement and media consumption in 2025.
The cast of Sex and the City continues to be one of the most talked-about ensembles in television history. Their individual successes, the complex dynamics of their reunion in And Just Like That..., and the excitement surrounding the new characters in Season 3 confirm that the cultural conversation started by Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha is far from over.
