"And Just Like That" Renewed For Season 3

Carrie Bradshaw isn't hanging up her Manolo Blahniks just yet. On Aug. 22, Max announced that "And Just Like That" has been renewed for a third season. The announcement of the "Sex and the City" spinoff's renewal comes days before season two wraps up.

"We are delighted to share that since the launch of season two, 'And Just Like That' ranks as the #1 Max Original overall, and is the most-watched returning Max Original to date," Sarah Aubrey, Max's head of original content, said in a statement. "As we approach the highly anticipated season finale on Thursday, we raise our cosmos to Michael Patrick King and his magnificent team of writers, producers, cast and crew who continue to charm us, 25 years later, with dynamic friendships and engaging stories. We cannot wait for audiences to see where season three will take our favorite New Yorkers."

Of course, fans are anxiously awaiting the finale, not just to find out what will happen with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) but also because Kim Cattrall's Samantha will return for a brief scene. Will Samantha come back in a fuller way in season three? It seems unlikely, but the very idea of Samantha ever returning once seemed far-fetched, too, so we'll have to wait and see.
