‘And Just Like That’s Huge Season 3 Change Is a Callback to ‘Sex and the City’
Big changes are ahead in And Just Like That Season 3, and there’s a significant one you probably didn’t even notice you missed.
As Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) continue to experience love and deepen their relationships with friends, new and old, a core aspect of Sex and the City will be reintroduced in And Just Like That.
In Sex and the City, Carrie narrated each and every episode. In the spinoff series, her narration has been used mainly in the final moments of each episode. That’s changing in the third season.
“Carrie’s actually writing a new book, and the voiceover is the way into the book,” showrunner Michael Patrick King told Entertainment Weekly. “When we did voiceover on Sex in the City, Carrie had this overview of everything. She was telling you what to think and what to feel. For the first two seasons of And Just Like That, I took the voiceover away because I didn’t think she knew what she was feeling. She’s starting to feel things again and have an overview of where she is in the world. Writing a book is very private, and so, in an interesting way, it’s almost a direct, intimate conversation with the viewer. Maybe there are things she’s saying to the viewer that she wouldn’t say to even her best friends.”
There will be plenty to narrate in Season 3 as Carrie enters a new chapter in her relationship with Aidan (John Corbett). Her former fiancé reentered her life last season, and they reignited their romance. After his son got into a car accident, Aidan told Carrie he needed a five-year break before going all-in with her.
King noted that this five-year situation will be a “big plot point” in Season 3. However, Aidan won’t be disappearing from Carrie’s life whatsoever.
“I have no interest in torturing an audience too much,” the AJLT boss said. “The Carrie-Aidan relationship is dramatic and exciting because it contains two points of view. I think half the fans who do not want Carrie to be in a relationship will be like, ‘Enough!’ The other half will understand that when you love somebody, what comes with them is their family. It’s an interesting thing when you have Carrie Bradshaw in love figuring out how to make this work when, at a certain age, everyone has a past. There are a couple of booby traps in the Carrie-Aidan history that we’re very aware of, as well.”
